Rate Fortress

Post by AB4Lyfe »

Hey everyone,

I'm sure most, if not all of you, are aware that Monday the 23rd is the day of the stream. This thread is for the people who listen to the stream and want to give the record a rating and an explanation of why you think that way. And for those of you who choose to listen to the record on a later date, just rate it whenever you've listened to the whole thing.

Positive and negative feedback is accepted, feel free to explain your reasoning, and if you wish, you can re-vote.

Enjoy the album!

Much appreciated man. I know people will be posting on other threads here, but I just want this to be the place where everyone gives their overall opinion.

I probably won't rate this within a few weeks haha! I can't give a fair judgement after one or just a few listens...

10 stars because I have faith in Myles and Mark. They can do NOTHING wrong. This album like the previous ones will be EPIC.

It's a 10. No album is perfect, but this is as close as it gets.

I'd like a few more catchy chorus' ya know? Like in Blackbird, they had those massive chorus melodies that were just "Alter Bridge" all over! Farther Than The Sun is the catchiest chorus on Fortress i think

Hence the 9 from me

SOLID 9. It's what AB III should've been.

I gave it 8. If it stands the test of time I'll up it to a 9.

I rate One Day Remains at 8 - great consistency and some really good songs, but doesn't have as many high points.

Blackbird and ABIII - 8.5: reverse of One Day Remains, some weak tracks but some immense ones.

First impressions tell me they've got this one spot on - I wasn't bored at any time, each song has something special about it (something beautiful!) and the high points are...well, jolly high. I'd say 9.5, which I'll round up to 10!
For all of the hope that it brings...
