On first listen, I like how they changed things up. It's not a whole lot of difference, but it's enough for me.

Favorite Tracks:
Rationalist
White Washed
Escape Artist

I want to listen to this, but not until a more reasonable bitrate is available to hear.

I don't want to bother trying to find it before it comes out. So I will just wait. I'm sure I'll like it though.

The only album I have from them is Messengers, and besides the first three songs on there, im not too much into em. Is this album better/worse/samey?

And does it have the same bad production?

I like the production better. I think it's like a mix of their two previous albums. But I only have the crappy version.

Also, if you want to get into them, try Thrill Seeker.

this is pretty impressive..especially for a band in the 'core scene. The 2nd half works quite well. Production-wise, I guess the tambourine-clipping cymbals don't get as in the way on the 2nd half of the album, as they kind of do on the 1st half.

this could be a breakthrough for these guys.

So ABR is playing a show on campus on May 4th. Are they worth getting into, what album(s) should I check out beforehand?

Constellations is my favorite ABR album.

Listening to Constellations right now. Pretty good stuff, the show should be pretty damn good unless they suck live or something.

I really, really like Thrill Seeker, it's different from Constellations though, more metalcore. I heard they are great live, though I haven't had the chance to see them.

Holy fuck that was an awesome show. I really wish I were more familiar with their stuff going in.
