Favorite song on Fortress

[One Drew Remains]

Yeah. In like the last 5 minutes.

[Decay]

Hilarious.

[AB23]

Confused

I voted Fortress because I gravitate towards the longer AB songs and the subject matter is something I can relate to. If I were to rank Fortress from best to least-best; I'd have to say....

1.Fortress
2.Cry of Achilles
3.Calm The Fire
4.Lover
5.Peace Is Broken
6.Waters Rising
7.Bleed It Dry
8.Farther Than The Sun
9.The Uninvited
10.Addicted To Pain
11.Cry A River
12.All Ends Well
13.Never Say Die/Outright

Your avatar made me think it was just Drew with a different username...

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

LOL I figured that might happen. I just like that picture more than most of them so I went with it. I hope Drew doesn't mind .

[austinjhnsn]

Haha, I guess I can get used to it. And about your Fortress list, I agree with the top 4, All Ends Well Would probably be a bit higher, maybe mid list.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

Well It's a great song; and I said in another thread I still enjoy the AB Ballads as much as the next, but when you have 11 other high-energy songs in the mix, It's hard for me to look past it's mid-temponess and rank it strictly on subject matter.

Farther Than The Sun is my favorite right now, in my first listen I was like 'meh' but now I totally love it

[One Drew Remains]

Naw, man. I don't care. It's Harry's sig anyways.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

Naw, man. I don't care. It's Harry's sig anyways.

haha I'm sure Harry doesn't have any issues with people having the same avatar or sig. I could imagine no one being aloud to have the same sig or avatar and Harry's the sig police. Or if he made all of those sigs for himself and no one else is allowed to use them. Then I'd be stuck without one for ever.

Lover, Calm The Fire, Cry A River and Fortress, which i get the Blackbird feel to, after just a couple listens to the album. Could change. =)

The solo from Bleed it Dry is reminiscent of Brand New Start's solo. I love it. Because of it and the segue into said solo, I'm going with BiD. But Farther than the Sun is super legit and Outright, how it didn't make it onto the record is beyond me.

The thing with Fortress is that for the first time there's not a bad song on an AB album, which is an achievement I didn't think they would be able to do after ABIII to be honest

Peace is Broken is still a good song, but it's just not to the same standard as most of Fortress, but it would probably be one of the stand-out songs on ABIII. Also, I think Fortress is their best song ever.

[One Drew Remains]

No one has voted for Addicted To Pain. It's somewhere in the middle for me. But I didn't expect zero votes.

[Macca]

Mine has changed a fair bit with more listens

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

No one has voted for Addicted To Pain. It's somewhere in the middle for me. But I didn't expect zero votes.

I remember some people saying even after Fortress released, ATP was still their fave song. I guess they just haven't bothered to vote or be on the forums. Me, personally, It was great when it was released but after listening to it on repeat until fortress was released it kind of drained the song for me. Now I always skip it while listening to the album. I think I even put it as my bottom 4 on the record.

I didn't just edit my post by going back and checking to see if where I placed ATP was right.
