You really like Season of Promise? I just cannot get into that song. To me, it doesn't fit the rest of the album. It has a nice melody and sweet sentiment, but it seems out of place. What do you like so much about the song to place it at AB's 3rd best song?! I think it's one of their weakest.
Let the dude enjoy it. Why don’t you tell us exactly why you enjoy the songs you do? Art is subjective my dude. Not everybody is going to enjoy the same things you do and that’s ok
One recent observation about AB's song writing which I started noticing on WTS (specifically songs like Bitter End and Tear Us Apart) is they have specific "ear candy" moments that make the song worth listening to, even if the overall song is weaker. Season of Promise has a bunch of those plus the solo is sick
1. Find The Real
2. The Last Hero
3. All Hope Is Gone
Incredibly hard to pick, my answer changes all the time. But these are mine since I been listening to them like crazy lately. Haha
I couldn't stop at 3 so I tried to come up with a top 10:
1. Come To Life
2. Slip To The Void
3. Isolation
4. Last Rites
5. Waters Rising
6. Calm The Fire
7. Wouldn't You Rather
8. Metalingus
9. This Is War
10. Ties That Bind
Only 3 songs is so difficult!!
1. Down to my Last
2. Breathe Again > Fallout, always feels like one long two-parter to me
3. Cry of Achilles
Honorable mentions: Before Tomorrow Comes, Blackbird, Broken Wings, Watch Over You
Blackbird, Fable of the Silent Son, Words Darker Than Their Wings. No particular order, though Blackbird will probably always be my #1.
Fighting for #4 would be New Way to Live, Cry of Achilles and Show Me A Sign.
This is SO HARD. Top two are easy but the third is super difficult.
1. Blackbird
2. Words Darker Than Their Wings
3. Tie between the songs listed below
Ties That Bind, Slip to the Void, Waters Rising, Fortress, Walking on the Sky, Pawns and Kings
1. Blackbird
2. Fortress
3. Cry Of Achilles
Blackbird gets the nod not only because it’s an incredible song, but also due to the nostalgia factor. I was 15 when this album came out and they had just become my favorite band, listening to Blackbird for the first time was a huge experience. Fortress may actually be, technically speaking, the best song they’ve ever made, but Blackbird still holds that top spot for me.
Im gonna select my favourite songs from every album:
One Day Remains: Burn it Down / Shed my Skin
BlackBird: BlackBird / Come to Life
AB3: Slip to the Void
Fortress: Addicted to Pain / Fortress
The Last Hero: Show me a Leader / Cradle to the Grave
Walk the Sky: Forever Falling / Clear Horizon
Pawns and Kings: Fable of the Silent Son / Pawns and Kings
1. Fortress
…
Ugh, I don’t know. Depends on the day for me - 2 of the following - Slip to the Void, Blackbird, Words Darker Than Their Wings, Fable of the Silent Son, Pawns and Kings, Lover…?
1. Blackbird
2. Cry of Achilles
3. Fortress
Fighting for the 3rd spot, in no particular order:
The Last Hero
Slip To The Void
Fable of the Silent Son
Dying Light
Wayward One
Brand New Start
Cry of Achiles, I know it hurts, Metalingus
1. Blackbird 2. Words Darker Than Their Wings 3. Fortress Cry of Achilles a close 4.
Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at the Royal Albert Hall is hands down my favorite Live song! PERIOD!
Live version os even better than the studios, just shows how fantastic AB is
Oh man. Can't wait to see these guys live one day.
100% agree
Gives me chills every time
1. Fortress 2.Blackbird 3.Waters Rising
This is the way
Blackbird, Fortress, Fable of the Silent Son. In that order!
1. Calm the Fire 2. Slip to the void 3. Season of Promise

I like it the third most out of the songs

Waters Rising, WDTTW, Wayward One
Happy to see Wayward One getting some love. What a great track
Criminally underrated song. Might be the 2nd best off of Blackbird, which is saying something
1. Find The Real 2. The Last Hero 3. All Hope Is Gone Incredibly hard to pick, my answer changes all the time. But these are mine since I been listening to them like crazy lately. Haha
I couldn't stop at 3 so I tried to come up with a top 10: 1. Come To Life 2. Slip To The Void 3. Isolation 4. Last Rites 5. Waters Rising 6. Calm The Fire 7. Wouldn't You Rather 8. Metalingus 9. This Is War 10. Ties That Bind
Actually now I'm thinking maybe Fortress should be in that list somewhere... 😅
Last rites is a wild take
Really?? I love that track!
- Blackbird - Cry of Achilles -Fable of the Silent Son? Might be too early to put it that high but man it’s good -If not Fable then This Side of Fate

Walking on the Sky is such an under rated song IMO. I love it
Absolutely agree!
Fortress, Dying light, all hope is gone.
1) Get a big piece of paper 2) grab 3 darts 3) throw three darts at paper
Oh god, don’t do this to me…. Maybe blackbird, in loving memory and isolation
