Least "Best" song on Fortress

Post by antiwal »

Ok, Fortress to me is an astounding album of epic proportions. Not one bad track on it. That said, what is your least favourite?

(This poll may have already been done, so apologies if it has!)

You can cast 2 votes.

I have to go with All Ends Well. Good tune, but AB playing it too safe.

Bleed it dry for me, intro guitar sounds horrible! Chorus is weak too!

It always amazes me how different the taste of the AB fans is. :D That being said, I love Bleed It Dry, especially the intro riff which made so much sense after hearing the chorus (which is in my top-5 choruses). ;) Guess that's what you get when a band combines so many rock-styles! :D

I voted All Ends Well, just not my type of song.

Cry A River is the only song that I'm not really into. Sounds like it belongs on AB III.

I still haven't really gotten into Waters Rising, so that one for me... for now.

Peace is Broken & Farther Than the Sun. Peace is broken is not a bad song by any means, it's just not as memorable as the others. And as I've said a few times before, I would love FTTS if it weren't for the chorus. I REALLY don't like the way Myles sings some of the words, which kills the song for me. Decent song the way it is, but my "least best" by far

Because all the tunes are awesome, that's why I said that. Yeah, I know - it doesn't make sense but I knew what I was going for! ;)

Waters rising. For me there's just nothing redeeming about this tune. It's bland, it's verse is average and the chorus......not actually sure it is a chorus?

Basically a wall of sound with little melody. But then I do prefer the more 'commercial' AB as a rule.

Farther than the sun for me. One of the only AB songs I hate along with Buried Alive and Save Me.
That touch of evil if you still recall.

That's a tricky one. Not exactly their best i agree.....however at least it has some kind of chorus that you can nod your head to....unlike Waters Rising.

Farther than the sun is also pretty poor. I'm still not getting fortress either, but it's by no means worse that these three songs mentioned above.
