I don't think I'm going to be able to choose between CoA, CtF, and Lover. Ugh.

I think there are at least 4 or 5 songs here that would have been my favorite on ABIII, and I really liked ABIII. These are just that good.

I really wanted to be funny on this thread and pick Outright, but I can't even joke about how much I enjoyed CoA

I don't know, CoA has that Blackbird feel and I love it, but I actually think it's going to be between Lover and Calm the Fire. I did not expect to like Lover this much, but damn it is good.

I think that only comes with the best buy exclusive version. Don't know if the song itself has leaked yet.

You probably won't be able to until October 8. It could leak before then but it's only available in the US.

The Bleed it dry chorus starts too early after the solo ending. They should let this solo end properly.

^Those three songs (CoA, CtF and Lover) are the best in my opinion. Lover was a huge surprise for me. I really love the slower side of AB. Songs like Burn It Down will always have a special place in my heart.

Lover, Cry a River or All Ends Well are the ones that stand out, I do like Waters Rising too. Mark did killer then the trade off between Myles and Mark, mmmmmnnn, just mmmmnnnn xDD. I'm in love with every song though.

I think I can understand why reviewers didn't tend to mention Fortress (the song) now. It was at the end of an album with quality rippling throughout, and the structure was a lot to take in. On Blackbird, the title track stood tall and was the obvious thing to mention. On this one it doesn't stand out, it just takes its place at the foundation of an awesome album. Perfect ending, immense track!

I still don't know what my favourite is, but I do know that Blackbird has fallen! And it seemed so secure at the top...
For all of the hope that it brings...
