I really don't know what's my favourite. I like very much all the album...except one.
I can say the number 12 in a possible ranking is Peace is Broken.

Hmm, Waters Rising isn't doing as well as I thought.

I love the song, there are just so many more standouts ahead of it. Very consistent album.

I love the signature changes from in Bleed It Dry. This album is definitely a lot better the second time..

Yikes, you guys are ranking it song by song. I don't think I could do that :lol

Maybe I could give it a try...

1: Cry of Achilles
2: Calm The Fire
3: Waters Rising
4: All Ends Well
5: Lover
6: Fortress
7: Bleed It Dry
8: Addicted To Pain
9: Peace Is Broken
10: The Uninvited
11: Farther Than The Sun
12: Cry A River

Yikes, that was tough. That order will probably shift around a lot as I listen to it a lot more - same for everyone though I suppose. I don't dislike any song either, even the likes of River/Farther that I've ranked so low. So tough :lol

1. Lover
2. Cry of Achilles
3. All Ends Well
4. Farther Than the Sun
5. Calm the Fire
6. Fortess
7. The Uninvited
8. Addicted to Pain
9. Cry a River
10. Peace is Broken
11. Bleed it Dry
12. Water's Rising

The top 5 for me right now are interchangeable, right now I'm liking Lover but I'm sure that will change many times. 6 through 10 are pretty equal as well, I just put them in that order to go along with the format. Bleed it Dry was disappointing for me, the chorus kinda lets the song down, and Water's Rising is a fine song but one of my least favorite AB songs.
Who knew Oprah likes Alter Bridge?

Bleed it dry solo should have been longer. They should work on that solo harder because it had potential. I like the depth of the solo. Too bad that the chorus starts too early and is layering/overshadowing the ending of the solo. The last note should be accented louder.

And I am dissapointed about the solo wise thing. It feels like those solos were made very quickly.
Maybe they will grow on me but for now it feels generic to me. And yeah they need new producer/mixer because in my opinion they didnt catch everything on the record. They can do better than this imo. They need BOCK ROCK ! :E

Gonna try to do this after 4 listens:

1. Calm The Fire
2. Cry of Achilles
3. Lover
4. Bleed It Dry
5. Fortress
6. All Ends Well
7. The Uninvited
8. Addicted To Pain
9. Waters Rising
10. Cry A River
11. Farther Than The Sun
12. Peace is Broken

Ok, that was harder than I thought. About 5-6 in the middle are chosen completely random..

Yeah my list after the first six was completely random... I almost forgot about ATP too... Not because I haven't listened to it but because all the other tracks are so fresh to my ears.
