Reverse chronological to me:

Fortress
ABIII
Blackbird
One Day Remains

I prefer Lover, but All Ends Well is the catchier in the chorus.

All the ones where you have Xs I'm pretty much in agreement of not making head nor tail of, will take many more listens which is suuuch a shame! On a related note - Calm the Fire lyrics: holy cow. This whole album Myles' has taken a step up in that department, for me.

Well, I've narrowed it down as much as I can and I've got to Cry of Achilles, Lover, Calm the Fire and Fortress. They're all 10s as far as I'm concerned right now.

Dunno about everyone else, but I'm treating this whole album as a concept around the last seconds of Achilles' life

One thing in the chorus of Bleed it Dry - think it's "All your lies serve no one but you"

Police car just whizzed by my window with sirens on, and it harmonised perfectly with the chorus of Fortress. Universe is aligning.

We have seen this story before. All Ends Well falls right in line with the Before Tomorrow Comes and wonderful lifes of the world. Song thats havent done shit for Alter Bridge commercially in the states. Its a waste of time guys. Second single needs to be thought out. This song isnt even close to w...

I think I can understand why reviewers didn't tend to mention Fortress (the song) now. It was at the end of an album with quality rippling throughout, and the structure was a lot to take in. On Blackbird, the title track stood tall and was the obvious thing to mention. On this one it doesn't stand o...

Think I was hard on Cry A River and Farther than the Sun on first listen, they'd be up their with my favourite tracks on the other three albums. This is true. They seem kind of weak to me in the context of the album but they grab me way more than AB III did and blow away most of Blackbird. Even tho...

Just release all the album one by one, there's not a weak track on it.

All Ends Well has success written all over it, but I'm still not sure.

"Repeat all" button yo!

The Infinite Album.

Peace is Broken is the only one I've listened to twice, and it grew a ton on that listen so this is a skewed vote but I'm picking it. Really good all round and the other two didn't stand out at first listen.

Calm the Fire is the Mark N' Myles combo at its peak. To think Myles brought this in as a soft song that wasn't quite working. Monster.

What a fucking present this is.

On Calm the Fire again, yeah, it's incredible.

Peace is Broken also grew a ton, riff-verse and the chorus, then Mark in the bridge! This is ridiculous.

Wow, The Uninvited just grew on me a ton on second listen. Those people that went to the listening parties must've felt cursed not getting a second listen till now!

Lover is outstanding. Gah!

So what does everyone make of the scrambled track listing on some of these videos? 'Peace is Broken' definitely belongs in the middle. Sticks out like a sore thumb that late in the album. I'd imagine 'All Ends Well' would lead better into 'Fortress' musically. Agreed. I hope the originally-announce...
