Favorite Alter Bridge Record

Post by AB4Lyfe »

Now that most of us have heard the full record, how would you re-arrange your top AB records list? It's a little early, but I knew what my list would be after the first full listen. Personally, mine goes like this:

1. Fortress
2. Blackbird
3. ODR
4. ABIII

Reverse chronological to me:

Fortress
ABIII
Blackbird
One Day Remains
For all of the hope that it brings...

Maybe it's too early for this sort of decisions but after 2 playthroughs of Fortress I'm gonna go with:

1. Blackbird
2. Fortress
3. ABIII
4. ODR

It is a little early, yes. I'm just interested to see where everyone else ranks it.

Way too early to say. It used to be:

1. Blackbird
2. ODR
3. AB III

I'm not sure where Fortress will fall.. Definitely before AB III, but I'm not sure about the others yet.

It is kind of early, but I don't think this will change. I've listened through Fortress a lot by now.

1. Fortress
2. Blackbird
3. One Day Remains

Fuck, I have to quote myself. I don't know whether I actually prefer ABIII over ODR or should they be at the same spot. I'm gonna go:

1. Blackbird
2. Fortress
3. ABIII / ODR

Oh, brother... I don't know. They're all uniquely great.

If I had to rank them, I'm honestly having a lot of trouble deciding whether Fortress has topped Blackbird. I think it might have. If so, my list would be:
  1. Fortress
  2. Blackbird
  3. One Day Remains
  4. AB III
It's funny because I probably listen to ODR the least, but I think overall AB III had the least impact on me.

AB III had a big impact on my life. But, Fortress has taken the reigns of number 1, in my opinion.

Well, it will be bias, because I'm full with adrenaline... anyway:

1. Fortress
2. AB III
3. Blackbird
4. One Day Remains


Yes, I put Blackbird in third [EDIT: I put fourth - just too excited to write right]. Hey, reverse chronological, just like Ubik! :cheers

Too early, but I don't think I've ever enjoyed an album so much as I have with Fortress. I love every AB album, but I think Fortress has topped BB, for a tiny bit. So:

1. Fortress
2. Blackbird
3. One Day Remains
4. AB III

1. Fortress
2. Blackbird
3. One Day Remains
4. AB III

All of the albums are unique, though. They change their sound but they still manage to stay Alter Bridge. In terms of songs, let's try this here...

1. Coming Home
2. Lover
3. Wayward One
4. Blackbird
5. Words Darker Than Their Wings

That seems to be the majority opinion on the ranking of the albums, a lot of people have Fortress first and AB III last. Definitely agree.

Edit: If we're doing songs, for now I'd have to say:

1. Blackbird
2. Calm the Fire
3. Brand New Start
4. Lover
5. Cry of Achilles

1. Blackbird (it's still special)
2. Fortress (but it's very close to Blackbird)
3. ODR
4. AB III (I still like it too much, wdttw is one of my favourite AB song)

Whatever any ranking we do here, Alter Bridge rocks in every album. 4/4, no failures.
