Winner of Track 03: Brand New Start (Blackbird)

I'll include a very reasonable hint that Jim posted three years ago: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE "THE LAST HERO" SONGS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE FRESH IN YOUR MEMORY. PLEASE CONSIDER ALL SONGS AND HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THEM WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD THEM. TAKE YOUR TIME VOTING.

A lot of average songs, compared to tracks 1-2-3.
My vote goes to Burn it down.

Yeah this one wasn't actually as hard as I thought it would be. Burn It Down is the clear winner. That song just sends chills down my spine from the opening note to the very end. So fucking beautiful! Lover does come fairly close though, my jaw dropped when I first heard that song.

Went with Burn it Down although it was hard to reject Al Hope is Gone and Buried.

Burn it Down or All Hope Is Gone

Or Lover...

Easy. Buried Alive!!!!!!

However, if that wasn't in there things would be VERY tough. I know AHIG would be last though...sorry

Lover is a good song, but it's never felt like an AB tune to me.
It screams Mayfield Four to my ears.

All Hope Is Gone. I have a special connection with that song.

Lover just barely edges out Burn It Down for me. Both amazing and underrated songs.

Burn It Down.

Easily a top 10 AB song for me.

Lover. 2nd and 3rd would have been All Hope Is Gone and Burn It Down.

Lover, period. Burn It Down is a great song, and so is All Hope Is Gone which is definitely my number two out of these tracks, but Lover easily beats them all. One of the best tracks AB have ever written in terms of its atmosphere, and Myles' vocals are god-like.

I'm gonna go with All Hope Is Gone. It's not gonna win, but I think it's one of the best songs on AB III and it's one of the most creative songs they've done.

That bridge in Burn it Down though...

It was either All Hope Is Gone or Lover for me, and I went with AHIG. Probably in my top 3 AB songs and one I always go back to.

Tough one. Voted Lover. I think it's that MF4 vibe, especially in the last chorus and outro that did it for me.

Urghhh! Knew Buried Alive would lose out here. Don't get it - its an almost perfect AB track for me. Would probably make my top 10. Dat riff!

I love Buried Alive too man, you are not alone. Just not quite as good as BID and Lover for me.

Also, agreeing with a few others here, Lover definitely has a Mayfield Four vibe about it, and that is one of the reasons I like it.

Haven't been around in a few days, these threads are a great idea. Burn definitely takes the lead for me.

Lover

All of these are some of AB's best.
