Blackbird all the way.

I don't care if they spend the rest of their career playing eight songs off it on every single show. There's a reason for it.

White Knuckles is the best song* they've ever written. Spectacular all around, I can only imagine the reason it's so far behind here is that it's nearly a decade old.

Fortress is amazing too, but none of the other options come close.

*not called Blackbird. Obviously.

For me My Champion is by a long distance the worst song they ever recorded. Skip it whenever I must or can and definitely did not put it on any playlist. The pre-release of this song truly was my biggest disappointment in AB-history and a truly scary-moment (oh my god ! will the rest be just as bad...

Fallout. One of a handful of songs that took a long, long time to grow on me, but it's top quality.

Could give this one to any of the options, really. No 10/10 songs on offer, but no weak ones either.

Watch Your Words. Very underrated song, and one that I'd love to see brought back into the live setlist.

Farther Than The Sun and One By One are both brilliant too, and Show Me A Sign is good. But YWBR is their worst song, so that kinda destroys the average for an otherwise solid set of songs.

Disappointed by the lack of Zero love here. Kick-ass riff, lovely groovy beat in the verses (I love that the guitars are silent, highlights the bass line), some of Myles's best lyrics that tie in perfectly with the rest of the album, and a pair of kick-ass solos in the bridge and outro. I think I re...

Let's just hope they don't remix/remaster it. :lol Yeah, that is definitely a concern. If they do have to, let someone not nicked named "Elvis" do it. I think the entire band and Baskette should spend the anniversary day locked in a room listening to the album on repeat. If that doesn't g...

In Loving Memory for the nostalgia value, though this is probably the weakest set of songs so far.

Calm the Fire could have been great but that chorus kills it for me.

1. Blackbird. Going to cheat and include both together, though Myles' is the standout. 2. Brand New Start 3. All Hope Is Gone 4. Come to Life 5. Buried Alive Could easily have gone with Ties That Bind, Fallout, Waters Rising, both the Cry of Achilles ones, Down To My Last, Burn It Down, The Last Her...

I went with Peace Is Broken, but this is really one of the numbers where any option could win. Broken Wings is an old favorite. Before Tomorrow Comes is probably the weakest here and one that long-time fans are a bit tired of, but remains a crowd favorite. Make It Right took years to grow on me, but...

I've just seen some of the videos out there of the new songs played live so far. My LORD, do they sound fantastic :D This is what I had to say about the production on the new album after the first handful of songs were released: "The Fortress songs sound 15X better played live without all of [B...

Choosing a favourite record really depends on what defines an album as good or not good. In terms of the amount of extremely high-quality songs, Fortress would have a good shot because Cry Of Achilles, Bleed It Dry, Lover, Calm The Fire, Waters Rising and Fortress are all outstanding tracks. Howeve...

What a weirdo :headscratch Oh so now we are sinking to person insults? Nice. I expect that kinda childish BS in pop forums, but not in a rock/metal related one. :slam We are better than that, surely....... Is calling you a weirdo more or less insulting than shamelessly fucking with Alter Bridge's s...

What a weirdo

This song had the potential to be one of their very best, but the chorus doesn't quite work for me. Too many vocal layers, and Myles sounds a bit too shrill. Hopefully they'll change it up a bit when (if?) they play it live. Could sound better if it's sung at a lower pitch with Tremonti providing ba...

You Will Be Remembered for sure.

All Ends Well-tier song.

1. Blackbird: 10/10, modern rock masterpiece, one of my favorite albums of all time, and contributes five of my ten favorite Alter Bridge songs. Their best riffs, Mark's best lead guitar work, Myles's best vocal performance. Hard to top this one. The sound of a band that had a point to prove. 2. One...

1. Slip to the Void 2. Find the Real 3. Farther than the Sun 4. All Hope Is Gone 5. Ties That Bind 6. White Knuckles 7. Watch Your Words 8. Cradle to the Grave 9. Waters Rising 10. The Last Hero 11. Peace Is Broken 12. Buried Alive 13. Zero 14. Burn it Down 15. Brand New Start 16. Blackbird - 17. Cr...

This is the first Alter Bridge album without a song that grabbed my attention on the very first listen. AB III had Slip to the Void and All Hope Is Gone, One Day Remains had Metalingus and Find the Real, Fortress had Cry of Achilles and Fortress, and Blackbird had pretty much 3/4ths of the album. He...

I wonder how many of us have actually listened to AB since day one. I can remember going to Walmart on my 30 minute lunch break that day in August '04 and instantly falling in love with Metalingus before having to go back to work. This guy has! I don't remember exactly when i bought ODR but I heard...
