Ranking Alter Bridge albums
Now that Walk the Sky has been released and we’ve all had several days to digest it, it’s time to update our rankings of all AB albums - best to worst.
Here is my ranking:
1. Fortress
2. Blackbird/Walk The Sky - undecided
3. AB III
4. ODR
5. TLH
Could all change, these ranking are never set in stone.

Re: Ranking Alter Bridge albums
Very hard to say at this early point in time because AB albums always grow on me with time. If I predict where WTS will likely end up though, this would be my ranking:
1. ABIII
2. Fortress
3. Blackbird/WTS
5. The Last Hero
6. One Day Remains
Blackbird and WTS are probably more consistent than Fortress (i.e. Fortress has more skip tracks for me), but I'd probably rank 4 or 5 Fortress songs higher than all but one of the songs on these albums, so I'd still consider Fortress the better album all in all.

As I said in a different thread, I have tiers because my opinions change a lot so:
Tier 1: Blackbird & Fortress
Tier 2: Walk the Sky, ABIII, ODR
Tier 3: TLH

Tier 2: Walk the Sky, ABIII, ODR

So, there's a whole thread on this already. Is there a reason we're starting over?

Re: Ranking Alter Bridge albums
I have an extraordinarily hard time ranking each individual album, mainly because I never know which metric to focus upon (for example, album-wide consistency or the strength of individual songs?) Having said that, this is my personal ranking:
1) Fortress
2) Blackbird
3) Walk the Sky
4) ABIII
5) The Last Hero
6) One Day Remains
1) Fortress
2) Blackbird
3) Walk the Sky
4) ABIII
5) The Last Hero
6) One Day Remains

Apologies - MODS this thread can be merged/deleted.

3a. Walk the Sky
3b. AB3
5. One Day Remains
6. The Last Hero
I had The Last Hero much higher when the album dropped, but it did not age well.
Recency bias says Walk the Sky is tied with AB3, but that could change. Depending on how well the album ages, it may take sole possession of third or fourth. Made an AWESOME first impression though.

TLH ranked last by CrowsOnAWire. Now that’s irony.CrowsOnAWire wrote:
1. Fortress
2. Blackbird/Walk The Sky - undecided
3. AB III
4. ODR
5. TLH
Side note - I don’t understand the common dislike for TLH. Six of the songs on that album are among my Top 30-35 AB songs.

Re: Ranking Alter Bridge albums
It is slightly ironic, however ranking TLH last doesn’t mean it’s a bad album. There is no “bad” AB album in my opinion. It’s just the least good album they’ve made. TLH has some really good songs, Crows On A Wire being one of them. Plus it’s a good song title.rscotta831 wrote:TLH ranked last by CrowsOnAWire. Now that’s irony.CrowsOnAWire wrote:

Re: Ranking Alter Bridge albums
That’s true.
There is no bad AB album, just a least best.
