Oh boy. This one is difficult. I'm gonna need an hour or two to mull it over.

It'll probably be either Fortress or Walking on the Sky.

Sorry. He's been told.

So that was you! Ladies and gentlemen, we have our "Break Me Down" voter. Now you have 2! It was so hard not to vote for The End Is Here, such a classic song, but I have to throw my futile vote at Break Me Down just on the principle that so many write it off and I'm sitting over here like...

That's a really cool story, McFluffin. There are a few songs I often dismiss because they are a bit cheesy, but then I hear stories like this that make me realize how much they mean to people. I definitely got the goosebumps feeling when the first chorus hit as well ("if you BELIEEEEVE..."...

All Ends Well Clear Horizon Breathe Again The End Is Here Break Me Down Twilight Honestly, I think I give The End Is Here a bad rap because of its opening "London Bridge" riff. I think that while it's meant to add to the song, it sounds disjointed and weird. I do not think it's a good rif...

Oooh. A tie currently. The excitement. I wonder who'll come in 2nd place (just joshing!)

It is what it is. You kinda non-sequitured that comment considering the lack of context and the fact that it was just a statement of his mental state in relation to this thread. Perhaps he is interested in seeing what comes in 2nd place specifically in the context of this thread's voting system.

The one track that really needs no poll. But curious more to what comes in 2nd place. This side of fate is such a unique and underrated song IMO and has one of Myles best solos too. Again, that's unfair to say what is truly second place based on the voting system. You're tallying all first place vo...

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 bridg...

Aww yiss. Those ride/bell hits during the bridge while Myles does the high note sound fantastic.

TLH won't really get a look in until IoF for me.

Broken Wings is one of the most overrated AB songs in my eyes. It's never really evoked any intense emotions in me. Cradle is so much better on every level. I also love Make It Right, but it suffers from being a feel-good song rather than an emotional rollercoaster, which is why it only comes in se...

Broken Wings.... done..... NEXT

He's been around a lot longer than you have my friend.

Thanks for helping out Jared. We've not interacted much but I've seen the amount of effort you've put in here since I joined in 2006.

Metalingus will walk this but I think Native Son is by far my favourite.

Quoted instead of editing. Please ignore.

I disagree that KEA isn't exactly a great sounding record. IMO, it's SONICALLY one of the better sounding heavy metal albums I've ever heard. In fact, for anything released 1983-1989, I would SONICALLY put it up against anything else in the heavy metal genre. The guitars are lovely but the drums ar...

Hello, new to AB Nation, thanks for having me. Huge fan. I do care greatly about sound/production quality, and am not impressed with WTS at all. To me, it's a BRILLIANT painting on a cardboard canvas. Very frustrating. Now, if you are happy with the sound, great. I would immediately hypothesize tha...

It is a huge sounding record. The drum sound has dated a tad but it still sounds immense.

Yes! I noticed that as well. Is there a name for that beat? It's basically used in all Latin music from what I reckon. See: any Pitbull or Shakira song.

I believe it's called a reggaeton beat.
