An extra shout-out to the rhythm of the vocals in this bridge!

Not sure it's been mentioned, but the kind of electronic wah sound on certain parts of Fortress are really awesome to me, I have no idea why. Examples are the sounds at 2:58, 3:02 and 3:05, love that whole little bit. Those specific sounds though.
Also generally Fortress, love Myles' vocals on that song, the guitar solos are awesome, and lyrically it really speaks to me, the heaviness just adds to that feeling. I think it for me, is what CoA is to a lot of you guys!

I don't know the time on it, but there's a part somewhere in Fortress (the song) that sounds to me like some old school Nintendo/Genesis blowey-uppey sounds. If that's actually what it is, that's friggin AWESOME. If not, still awesome that they could make something that sounds like that.

Shout-out to Calm The Fire's intro with Myles' angelic voice.

Shout out to Mark singing the chorus after the Waters Rising bridge and crying out "IT BLOCKS OOOUUT THE SUN"

Makes the song for me

S/O to the lyrics in general. This is by far my favorite album that they've ever done lyrically. Really one of the only albums that actually tells a story to me. The other ones seemed like they TRIED to, and if people thought about it long enough they could somehow connect them, but this one actually does IMO.

Shout-out to the stream actually coming out at the time (or just about) that they said it would on Monday as well.

Yeah see, the line doesn't quite flow properly for me.. But thanks guys, i have heard the song lol

Post by **Ubik** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 3:08 pm

I was genuinely concerned you thought aaaaoooh was the thing being discovered.

Post by **Jim** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 3:16 pm

Yeah i kinda did.. The next line just does not flow, whatsoever. It's like a whole other sentence

Shout-out to Mark's amazing impression of the "reverse reverb swell flange koooosh!" in Fortress during the total guitar interview.

Shout out to the end of the third verse of Lover, when Myles sings "but still i'm holding...i'm holding on" where he pretty much whispers that part and you can really feel the emotion. Awesome stuff

Shout-out to the bells on ATP. It's been said elsewhere but I feel like ATP deserves some love in this thread too. =)

Count me in as a "Lover" lover as well. See what I did there?
