Re: Books/What are you reading?

I haven't read a book since last year! I'm only into sci-fi and nothing really peaks my interest in that genre anymore, either :/

:cloud9 Fortress. Pretty sure this song is neck-and-neck with Blackbird for me right now.

Re: Fortress song meanings

Oh lol yeah that's a much more specific and less "troll-ish(?)" interpretation. I could see how the lyrics can be viewed that way, and I don't think my view is any more right then yours (because like I said music can be pretty open to multiple versions sometimes) but I take a darker and li...

Re: Fortress song meanings

Has anyone actually figured out the meaning behind Lover? I know some people on here have come pretty close, and I have an idea, too, but in a Track-By-Track video I saw on YouTube, Myles says he didn't want to go into the meaning of the song because he's curious to see if the fans can uncover the ...

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!

I don't know If I'm crazy for saying this but is anyone else disappointed by the lack of high notes from Myles and backing vocals from Mark on Fortress? I know they said they where trying different things on the record and that Myles is "tired of singing high shit because has to pull on his bal...

Re: Favorite song on Fortress

Well It's a great song; and I said in another thread I still enjoy the AB Ballads as much as the next, but when you have 11 other high-energy songs in the mix, It's hard for me to look past it's mid-temponess and rank it strictly on subject matter.

Re: Least "Best" song on Fortress

Unfortunately I think i'm going to go with All Ends Well. I love Myles' vocals in it, and i'm a sucker for an AB ballad, but I just enjoy the high energy stuff so much more.

Re: Favorite song on Fortress

I voted Fortress because I gravitate towards the longer AB songs and the subject matter is something I can relate to. If I were to rank Fortress from best to least-best; I'd have to say.... 1.Fortress 2.Cry of Achilles 3.Calm The Fire 4.Lover 5.Peace Is Broken 6.Waters Rising 7.Bleed It Dry 8.Farthe...

Re: Welcome to TheAlterBridgeNation.com - Introduce yourself

Hello :wave . I've been lurking this site since I found out about AB, and I finally decided to sign up because what could be better than talking about your favorite band with people who share the same appreciation? And because none of my other friends have seen the light yet.... (1.) How did you dis...
