Show Me A Sign is on such a different level compared to all other songs in this list. It's a top 3 track for me and one of their greatest works so far. Criminally underrated, I'm still wondering why so many fans dislike it.

FTTS, Watch Your Words and YWBR are among the weakest AB tracks of all time. YWBR is okay musically, but the lyrics are the biggest bullshit they've ever produced.

Think I'm giving this to Pay No Mind, although I do really like Show Me A Sign. Farther than the Sun gets third.
For all of the hope that it brings...

SMAS... just. Farther than the Sun comes a close second.

SMAS has a killer main riff, drifts a bit monotonously in the middle and then is saved by an absolutely killer solo and ending.

I do love FTTS thought. Absolute banger of a tune.

EDIT: Also Watch Your Words is criminally underrated. That bridge is gloriously heavy with those bottom string hits along with the snare.

It's in my top 5 or 6 songs from Fortress and got my vote for this round :shrug

I was awfully close to voting for Pay No Mind though

Dude! I love FTTS. Easily better than several songs on that album. I personally like it better than Cry A River, All Ends Well, The Uninvited, and Peace Is Broken. This is sacriledge on this board, but even though CTF is a much better song, technically; I might enjoy Farther more.

:yeahthat

I agree 100% on that song list (including Calm the Fire). I may also throw Waters Rising into the list of songs that I enjoy it more than, but it's certainly too close to say for sure.
