Oct 10, 2014Anberlin unfortunately goes out on a pretty bland note with this album, as the instrumentals are uneventful and unoriginal, and there's no theme or plot connecting any of the songs together. Favorite track: Armageddon.

Alternative PressJul 22, 2014As it stands, Lowborn isn't as good as Vital, but it still does an admirable job at continuing Anberlin's sonic expression. [Jul 2014, p.95]

Jul 22, 2014Lowborn is a fairly strong record on a song-for-song basis, and the added emotional heft of it being a swansong helps to elevate it above the weaker entries in the band’s catalog--even despite its numerous issues.

Jul 22, 2014If there is a heaviness--an emotional weight that seems to be bearing down upon Christian and Anberlin throughout Lowborn--chalk it up to a band nearing the end of an almost 15-year career. However, despite this heaviness, Anberlin have crafted an album of deeply emotive and, one imagines for longtime fans, cathartic songs.
