Favorite song on Fortress

[Dolo]

Cry of Achilles
Bleed It Dry
Lover
Fortress

The songs that put the BIGGEST smile on my face.

[AB4Lyfe]

No love for The Uninvited, I really like this track!!!

[Arctic]

Yeah, Fortress isn't the same type of deal as Blackbirds title track. It's a good song, but not the best on the album. Maybe not even top five.

Edit: Went with Calm the Fire for my favorite song. Just listened to it a few more times, and it gets better each time.

[AB23]

I enjoyed Fortress alot. I think they just thought Fortress was a cool name and was very symbolic/representative towards the rest of the album. I don't think they thought it was really the greatest song, because from what I understand they have raved CoA a lot more.

[gbruin]

Now it's Calm The Fire

[Vaux]

I really love the chorus on CoA but the verses will have to grow on me. Really digging Lover, All Ends Well, Calm the Fire...... Farther Than The Sun still my instant favorite though.

[AB23]

FTTS is growing on me A LITTLE BIT. Only enough to put it ahead of Cry a River

[Vaux]

FTTS has a funky Bread of Shame vibe to it... but what I absolutely love is the chorus.

Yeah just played it again. Instantly in my top 3 AB songs. Love it.

[Arctic]

I think I need to listen to the last few songs of the album over again. I think I was still reeling from the excellence of the first few, and the last ones just didn't hit me. I'm listening to Fortress again and it is growing on me fast.

Lol. My 3rd favourite.

[Arctic]

Yeah, second favorite for me. To each his own, I suppose.

[youknowverywell]

How the heck do you put Lover at the bottom? hahaha

I love Fortress. What a great song. It does what it needs to do and it does it well. It perfectly embodies the entire feeling of the record.

[Dolo]

Cry of Achilles will jump into my AB Top 5 I believe. Such a phenomenal track.

[AB4Lyfe]

Cry of Achilles is my favorite track, just decided it. Second favorite all-time track behind Blackbird, nothing will top that track because of my connection with it. Many songs on this record pushed that envelope, though.

[Ubik]

Well, I've narrowed it down as much as I can and I've got to Cry of Achilles, Lover, Calm the Fire and Fortress. They're all 10s as far as I'm concerned right now.

[Arctic]

Pretty much the same with me. I may put Bleed It Dry right before or after Fortress, but other than that, exactly.

[pokefan_4]

The Uninvited keeps pulling me back in... Every time I hear that chorus it pumps me up... And the bridge/end is fantastic vocally by Myles... Just the creepy ins and outs of that song make it really hammer hard when the chorus kicks in...

[Roneit]

I cant decide yet. Need a few days.
