Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 05

Or they prefer the songs...

Then why not commented about why, like everyone who voted for the other tracks has done?

[The Plotblocker]

I didn't say people HAD to give their opinion. But is that not the enitre point of discussion boards, to discuss the topics?? I have only seen 1 or 2 members actually give reasons why they prefer TLH tracks over the other choices. I am not saying they are better or worse. I am certain I will be voting for a couple of the songs from it myself. But I will also take part in the discussion about why. And yes, I know it is each persons choice. But it would be nice to hear what they think, to get involved with discussing it, maybe even take something away from it that causes me to hear a song in a different way. That's why i join these forums, to discuss the things I love with like minded people. Anyway. no shocks here for the winner. Onto track 6....

I like Poison for this because it has a great bridge, awesome solo, and a nice riff. I like Metalingus but I think it's a bit overrated, and Coming Home is one of the few songs from BB I could never get into. The melody doesn't flow at all and it just sounds odd. The bridge is good but that's about it.

I think TLH has a shot at track 6 though, Cradle is one of the best songs they've done. A lot of people will probably vote Broken Wings but I think CttG is better.

I didn't see 15 people stating why they voted for Metalingus. There are less people voting for TLH songs, so there will be less people saying why they voted for it.

I feel exactly the same about Metalingus. I love the song, but it is no where near as good as the hype surrounding it suggests. I must admit PIYV is growing on me a lot. It wasn't one of the songs that jumped out at me at first. But the chorus is so insanely catchy, and the solo is awesome.
I think CTTG may get my vote on 6 too. Broken Wings is great, but I rarely listen to it these unless playing the album through. But TPIB and BTC do stand a good chance too. BTC was the first track from Blackbird I heard and I loved it straight away, and Peace is just unrelenting from start to finish.

Glad people are coming around to Poison. I put it in my top 5 in The Last Hero tracks thread but didn't have a lot of company there lol. I probably would have voted Metalingus if I'd gotten to this poll before it closed, but I can see why some are voting for TLH songs. AB has given us a lot more choice recently, and choice is good.

[PRS10Top]

This one is the first out of 5 I've agreed with.

Rock on, Metalingus.

Where the frick is track 6?!?! I've been waiting two whole days already!!!

Jim asked me whether he can pick the whole thing up, and I obviously said yes because it's his project after all, so there will be no track 6 done by me. You'll have to wait until Jim creates the thread ^^

[antiwal]

Yeah, make with track 6 already!

[The Plotblocker]

Well then Jim needs to get his shit together. Cos so far you were doing a much better job LOL

[Blackbird]

Well, he's not been online since Monday to read my reply. If nothing changes for a few more hours (until I'm back home), I'll post the next topic and let him take over for the one after that.

How the hell is Coming Home doing so well?Bottom 3 song of the entire catalogue for me with their most boring chorus and dull bridge

different strokes.

I enjoy Coming Home but didn't vote for it. I do actually wish Poison in Your Veins fared a little better.

[Dolo]

Coming Home's chorus is quite original when it comes to AB, which says a lot about this track.

Yeah, a lot of people seem to miss the chorus though, hence so many reviews of SMAL spoke of that chorus as if it was the first time they did something like that. Coming Home was just a stand out track on Blackbird from the first listen. Much like Coeur D'Alene on ABIII, which I just realised will be the only ABIII song in this thing that definitely gets my vote. Yes yes, I know, Fortress blah blah epic whatever. But that song has just never really hooked me in the way Coeur did from the very first listen.

[Lotha]

Coeur was always so bland to me
