Produced by the legendary Brendan O'Brien, who has produced classics for everyone from Pearl Jam to Bruce Springsteen. The album was recorded over the course of five weeks in Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN. According to lead singer Stephen "He (Brendan) gave us the tools and showed us how to tighten everything up. For us, it was just a different caliber and I think we rose to the occasion." ## Images ![Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510IK5RaEYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Its Anberlin so its good; however, not one of their better Albums *by N***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011* Not one of the my favorite albums. While I do enjoy many of the tracks on this disc, and the tracks are very well put together and show a high degree of polish, the tracks on this album does not even come close to meeting the extremely high bar Anberlin set on Never Take Friendship Personal, Cities, and the first half of New Surrender. I do like the strong effort the band put into the album, and maybe this is a new direction the band is heading in; but I do hope they can come back to some of the creativity and musicality that made the previous afore mentioned albums so great. I do find We Owe This to Ourselves and Impossible very catchy and good listens, but they lack the drive of previous blockbuster songs like "Godspeed" and "Feel Good Drag" and other softer tracks didn't register with me like previous heartfelt tracks such as "The unwinding cable car" and "Paperthin Hymn", and lastly the extended final track that has been a staple of all but the first Anberlin album just doesn't come close to ridiculously high level achieved previously, especially the last two connected tracks on Cities.If your not a fan of Anberlin yet, or if you are judging the band based on this album, I highly recommend listening to the album Cities by this group first, to hear this band in its finest hour. If you already fan though, this is still a worthwhile album, and is a good album, but not the same level as previous efforts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ you belong here *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2014* Good album. The first half of the album didn't generate as much interest for me as did the last half which I found to be more engaging and interesting. A nice bit of diversity and some flourish there, from the driving rocker "To the Wolves" to the acoustically oriented and affective "Down". Album ender "Depraved" is their most adventurous song, and their longest, but it pales in comparison to some of their other last tracks.This is most definitely a "poppier" Anberlin. They're moving far away from their new wave punk influences (though they are still there in tracks like "We Owe This To Ourselves") and toward emotionally swooning ballads (like "Take Me As You Found Me"). Fans of their first three albums might have a hard time with this one. Me? I like the catchy nuances and production found here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Solid Album *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2010* Having been a fan of Anberlin since their very first album, I have been anticipating this album for a while now. Their work had been continually getting better with each release up until their last album, "New Surrender" which seemed to be lacking. "Cities" is their best album to date and is a masterpiece, so for any album they make in the future, it will be hard to come close to being that good. Well, "Dark Is The Way" is not far off. It is not as good as "Cities" but certainly holds its own and has some amazing tracks. There are a couple of tracks I don't really like too much but I'd say that there isn't much filler here. The lyrics are ok but not great and this is what sets it apart from "Cities", which was as close to flawless as an album can be. If you are like me and felt that "New Surrender" was not their best offering, you will find "Dark is the Way" to be alot closer to "Cities."My favorite tracks are Art of War and You Belong Here. Down is also a great track, which resembles The Unwinding Cable Car. Impossible is one of the weaker tracks on the album so I am a bit unsure as to why they chose this as the first single. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/4774653-dark-is-the-way-light-is-a-place](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/4774653-dark-is-the-way-light-is-a-place) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
