Why so much hate on Cry A River? That song's a beast! Beats the hell outta Farther Than The Sun and Peace Is Broken, imo.

I'm kind of the opposite. I didn't "get" Cry Of Achilles at first. There are so many things going on at the start that I kind of got lost. After a dozen or so listens, I finally got it. I love it now. And I have always loved Fortress upon first listen.

Really hoping my autographed copy gets here from the UK today.

I've easily listened to Cry of Achilles 100 times, easily. Still my favorite.

Finally decided to choose FTTS as least best. The fact that it was so hard for me to choose any one at all reinforces my opinion this is their best all around album. Just zero average tracks on Fortress.
Another photobucket casualty... :(

For me it's All Ends Well and after that Peace Is Broken. AEW because I just don't like these kind of songs, a taste thing. PIB is nothing 'special'. I like the riff, but don't really get why Mark likes that chorus so much. Sounds very generic. Those two I probably played the least so...
I can't get into the Cry A River or FTTS hate, I like those songs. CAR because of the funny riff and the nice bridge/outro and FTTS because I love heavy and can't keep my head from banging every time I hear it. Though that song begs for a better bridge, that riff is just too simple (although it is a nice bed for the solo). A really heavy breakdown would be amazing right there.

FTTS for me.

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

Also, DAT MONEY RIFF.

Addicted to Pain. I was so underwhelmed when I heard it, that I actually had doubts about the album. It grew on me eventually. I do skip it in the car from time to time, to hear the other ones that I love more.

FTTS is getting a lot of votes as worst song, but I've listened to it a few times recently and it's grown on me a lot. Its no Cry of Achilles or Blackbird, but I dig the 'groove' in the chorus. Just a fun song.

Ahead of Addicted To Pain and Cry A River for me.

Oddly enough I gotta say Fortress. It just doesn't catch me like the other songs do.
