I like Island of Fools when I work out. But I have to be honest, it's difficult for me to listen to casually. There is a lot of shit going on in that song. Sometimes it sounds like a jumbled mess.

Again, not the boy's fault. Elvis'.

It's an appreciation thread, when Fortress dropped we had about a full page worth of new threads from the excitement.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Then title it as such. Don't declare your opinion as a fan wide fact.

This Side of Fate is the best just for that whole middle section. One of the most unique things they've ever written

I love this song. Its grown on me in the past few days. Definitely a stand out in their catalog, Myles' riff is probably my favorite AB riff. And seriously, the bridge and final chorus, perrrfectttt

This song is already one of my favorites AB has ever done, but that final chorus just sounds huge in the context of this song.

It's possibly also my favourite Mark and Myles harmony, specially when that second line hits :cloud9
