Okay guys, I definitely liked Fortress better than ABIII. There are only a couple of songs that I would probably skip upon second time through... FTTS and PiB. If I had to rank the songs I'd go CoA and Fortress, then CtF, then AEW, BiD, Lover, WR, and the rest of them are down there. This is gonna grow on me as time goes by. They don't disappoint though! If you're like me, and likes the slower paced, more ballady types I can assure you will still like this one. Its still Alter Bridge even though its a bit heavier. The structures of over half of the songs are unpredictable. One thing that stood out to me were the guitar solos. They are better in this album than any of their others. If I have one complaint... I think it would be Myles... he just doesn't take that many chances I feel like. In Fortress he does, in Lover, CtF, and AEW he sounds pretty great, but everything else is probably my least favorite of the 4 albums. He's still Myles though, and is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else!

Either way, you're just the worst, man :lol If you did just listen to it all and you refuse to share it with others privately = douche move. If you are trolling (likely) then... less of a douche move (just a bit of fun really), but still.

Dude I havent even been here for a few days lol. The only thing I've seen today was the video with Myles and Mark, then I got the album at about 10 o clock my time. I havent bothered reading the rest of the thread cuz its full of "OMG CANT WAIT" just over and over and over and over and over again

"aaaahhhh I love lyrics like those. If they had like 7 more on the album like that I'd be so pleased" - You posted that about the lyrics from the Classic Rock Magazine article on the 11th of September. Booyah.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT SHIT. The message Ab4Lyfe just sent me put me on a gigantic guilt trip. This was planned out since I left for a few days lol. I wanted to leave and then come back saying I had it. I'm sorry guys... I was gonna keep it going but that message got me feeling like a dick. I made it pretty realistic sounding I don't care what any of you guys say lol. I don't have it haha. Before you get too mad... it literally is coming out in less then a week. Like probably 2-4 days... so hopefully that brightened up the hostility.

Please don't delete my posts though... theyre good for the lulz

FWIW, the lyrics in those articles were different than the ones i posted today... we just found out those lyrics today. That's why the timing was perfect

GOT HIM!!!!! Yes, I knew I could do it. I really should've been more like "If I could hear All Ends Well, I'd feel a lot better," but I all I needed to say was dark place. HA!

He was like "I'm in a dark place right now, and some AB would do me well" and I was like oh for fucks sake.

Completely and whole heartedly gutted.

I think if there were more people online it might be like a mob thing, calling for your head and all.

I'd call for his head either way if I wasn't in such a good mood. If he had the album, go for the head. If he was trolling, cut off his nuts and then go for the head.

But I'm in a good mood, so it's all good, bro :)
