Re: Delayed Canada Release

I expected it. With AB III I wasn't able to find a physical copy until 2 or 3 weeks after the 'North American' release. When I did it was basically 5 or 6 bucks more than any other CD at HMV because I assume it was some sort of special order. But it is what it is. I've begrudgingly accepted it at th...

Cry of Elrond. Dude had it tough at the end of the First Age. Being kidnapped by the Sons of Feanor... his Mom and Dad sailing off the Valinor... him choosing immortality but his brother becoming mortal. Never say die.

Re: Least "Best" song on Fortress

FTTS for me.

It's too bad too because it probably has my favorite solo section on the record.

Also, DAT MONEY RIFF.

Re: The Official BIG WRECK Thread

Definitely. I don't think it's too much to say it's Ian inspired. Not as much instrumentally but definitely the vocal phrasing in the first verse and chorus. The first verse is reminiscent of 'Where My Heart Is' from Tiny Pictures and the style of layered harmonies on the chorus reminds me a lot of ...

Re: Outright

Love the Big Wreck vibe. The vocal melody in the first verse and chorus is definitely Ian Thornley inspired.

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

I'd LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to hear Alter Bridge do 'Achilles Last Stand.' Are you kidding me!? Then play 'Cry of Achilles' right after. 17 minutes of epic musical bliss.

Hey, good call. Similar opening chords, guitar tone and strum pattern. It deviates pretty quickly though.

Re: Fortress... A Disappointment?

Best choruses on the album: Calm The Fire - Bleed It Dry! Add 'All Ends Well' and I'm with you. That chorus took an okay song and made it one of my favorite AB songs. Yea, I love that one as well. I remember listening to the pre-chorus for the first time and thinking that was the chorus. I was a bi...

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

Alright, I'll try giving it a few more listens on its own. I think I just heard the four guitar solos, time signature and key change thing and came to unrealistic conclusions of what the song would be.

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

Anybody else not get the title track? Like I've listened through the album a few times now and the title track just really doesn't do anything for me. Maybe it was hyped up too much?

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread

4 may be a battle, too. 'The Uninvited' and 'Metalingus' may be competitive as well. I think 'Waters Rising' may have its work cut out for itself vs. 'Wonderful Life' and especially 'In Loving Memory' though.
