For me, its a not-so guilty pleasure, its damn entertaining.

The bridge in Cry a River. Others may not like the song, but that bridge with the Myles guitar lick is something awesome!

I repeat what I said.

Oh cool. I can't really imagine the album in any other order, have you found any songs that sound particularly good together that aren't the same as the actual track listing? I love the loop effect, so Fortress with CoA right after it. At one point I had Lover and then CTF, that was actually pretty...

My current shout out is to Scott Phillips. Damn fine job Scott, damn fine.

In defense of the production team, if they were to not compress everything so much, then the song would just be guitar because of that massive sound Mark has.

Hey everyone, I have an idea for a tattoo and I'm wondering how it'd look, but I'm not that great with art. If you're up for the challenge, my idea is the blackbird with the quote "Don't close your eyes, something beautiful is still alive" somehow incorporated into it. If you have any arti...

I like the real-time impressions, its interesting to get people's thoughts as its going on instead of just relying on them after the whole song is completed.

I said it in the "What I'm Listening to" thread, but I'm strongly considering getting "Don't close your eyes, something beautiful is still alive" as a tattoo. I don't know how I'd go about it, but I absolutely love that quote.

All I know is that I want a full and proper US tour in 2014 for AB. And not a"oh it's 2014 now, before we start our US tour we're gonna make a little Europe run for 3 weeks" type thing. Just a full on, it's 2014, here are our US dates. I also want them to play like 4-6 shows around the LA...

Calm the Fire has quickly become one of my favorite tracks off the record, but now, again, I'm listening to Fortress

Hey guys, just a heads up. This thread is not for people to hate the record or any past records, it's just for you to state how you would rank the four albums.

And specifically, if you have a grievance to air about Fortress, there's a thread for that.

Macca didn't have the album early. Well then, that is that then. Macca, you fooled us again. ****. I'll let you figure that one out yourself. I think, next time, the top 25 posters get to listen early. I'm going to start now. How about the top 13 posters? Because 13 is unlucky and I'm in the top 25!

From what we've heard, I love the production of the album. CoA sounds massive. The production on that sounds like the production Slip should've been after the intro. Achilles has that BOOM to it when Slip, not so much.

I think, next time, the top 25 posters get to listen early. I'm going to start now.

Eh, who cares? We all got to listen to it early. Monty, we got to listen to it 2 weeks before the release, that's still pretty sweet.

And the forbidden word was...?

Nothing except Fortress, for the last 3 fucking days.

Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing!

Haha well...only sometimes. I listen to the whole album, but I shuffle it after Achilles
