Does anyone actually believe Achilles will have some sort of cinematic music video made for it? I just don't see it happening anytime soon...

Also, with all the "single" talk, I wouldn't mind FTTS or CTF being released. They could completely cut the intro to CTF (I wouldn't recommend it) and the song could still do really well on the radio.

I'd like to believe that, it'd be so cool if they did a cinematic music vid for COA and then for BB... But knowing they're probably going to continue collaborating with DC3, it may never happen.

I find that the more I sing this record, the stronger my falsetto gets. Too bad nobody will ever hear me sing it, ever.

Farther Than the Sun is a great warm up, Uninvited is a good one to get your lower register warm (except for the bridge) along with Bleed It Dry, Fortress is a good mid-range song, and then there's Lover and Calm the Fire. Those songs are tough, but I absolutely love singing the bridge to Lover and the verses/pre-chorus to Calm the Fire.

CTF is the best vocal song on there IMO, possibly along with All Ends Well. The melodies are beautiful.

Yeah, All Ends Well is a hard one to sing.

Has there been any news about the new US single? Or are they bleeding ATP until the spring tour.

Well, Calm The Fire was listed on Wikipedia as a new single, but no source, though.

Anyways, looks like they'll be bleeding it [ATP] dry till it hits #1 on the radio, before releasing a new single.

From Brian's FB: "Does anyone have a copy of an AB set list from last UK or Euro tour? Portugal would be great as well! Also, what songs were not played that you wanted to hear? thnx bmarsh
‪#‎ABRehearsal‬"

Looks like our wishes will be granted, regarding the yet-to-be played songs, or maybe not. lol

Brian's obviously never heard of setlist.fm. Glad he's asking though! Fortress, Fortress, Fortress. More Fortress, in other words. And Words [Darker than their Wings]!
For all of the hope that it brings...

outright is one of the best on the album. It's a throw back to the first album, musically. I love its message.
They should end every show with Outright, it has a great meaning.
