I totally agree with Dolo, but at the same time if the band sees a boring crowd, they may well lose their "desire" to play the songs. Mark is, probably right when he says the song has never clicked live for the fans, but how can he be so sure if they only played it a couple of times...? M...

Forever Falling
Watch Over You

Lol. If it wasn't for the chorus, I wouldn't like Pay No Mind much. Very middle of the road for me. It just makes me wonder if I would like the chorus to Pay No Mind if they harmonized Myles with himself or with Mark from its start. It's the only chorus on Walk the Sky that does not have harmonizin...

The one track that really needs no poll. But curious more to what comes in 2nd place. This side of fate is such a unique and underrated song IMO and has one of Myles best solos too. Again, that's unfair to say what is truly second place based on the voting system. You're tallying all first place vo...

I think this is the weakest set so far.

But ok hurr we go:

One By One

Show Me A Sign
Farther Than The Sun

Clear-cut winner here with Blackbird, as it's also my favorite AB song and my declarative favorite song of all time. Then there is a hang-up between Down To My Last and This Side of Fate. I mentioned in another thread that Down To My Last is the perfect kind of song: not only a good verse and chorus...

It’s strange, I don’t get the hate for Make It Right. I didn’t like it a ton when the album came out, but I’ve been listening to it lately and it’s pretty damn good. Nice solo too. The riff is the inferior little brother of that in Words Darker Than Their Wings. The first time you hear it, it ain't...

Hahaha did you come up with that "swarm of bees" description? I've never heard it before but it works perfectly. I've got it on my workout playlist and now I'm always going to think of that when it comes up. Nope, all credit goes to abw1987 for that one. Though I will say the first time I...

I think the sorting will have to go like this: In Loving Memory Wonderful Life Calm The Fire Indoctrination Rise Today Losing Patience In Loving Memory and Wonderful Life are simply top-tier. I think Wonderful Life is a bit too loud and busy on the record, but in concert with Watch Over You it is si...

There are remnants of Walking on the Sky that make it feel like an album closer, but I can’t possibly see Dying Light become a B-side. Don’t know why Solace was ever one either. Your point has merit and still technically keeps Dying Light at the end, but as I have contemplated certain track rearrang...

Well, the public that voted has spoken and that's how they feel. Deal with it. Yeah, still an iffy system though. When all is said and done, only first-place votes are considered. It's the best we can do, but it's not an ultimate end-all/be-all with it either. A point system with ranking them would...

It was a REALLY tough call between Broken Wings and Before Tomorrow Comes. Both are restaurant quality songs, but I went with BTC for the sweet backing vocals. I'd really like for them to take their master of BTC and do as they do in the final chorus, putting Mark's "wah wah" backing voca...

After a few weeks of listens to the album, I've come to the conclusion that I actually think One Life and Wouldn't You Rather sound better with the space in between them rather than having the former fade into the latter. It just sounds better to me. Do you still think the crossfade sounds better? ...

The main riff of Peace Is Broken with the "BAO, BAO BAO, BAO, BAO BAO" reminds me of like Pac-Man or Hungry Hungry Hippos chomping at the bit.

Nobody gives a shit.

This reminded me of this:




I hope you're joking either way.

This so far will be my easiest to sort. Before Tomorrow Comes Broken Wings Cradle to the Grave Take the Crown Peace Is Broken Make It Right The top three are pretty special, Take the Crown is quite good but still middle-of-the-road by AB standards, and Peace Is Broken and Make It Right fall pretty d...

I do all of the time. Mine intermittently logs me out for no apparent reason whatsoever. This isn't the only website I've had this issue for, though.

This isn't new for me, either.

We should rank songs based on parts, at least top 3 or 5 (main riffs, verses, choruses, bridges, solos).

I love the bridge for Walking on the Sky, by the way.
