bluefox4000 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 ok being honest. the past couple tracks have lost me a TAD. TwilightIsland of fools But it's fine. still a class A album Mick It's a long album...I need several listens to make a judgement. I remember with Fortress I didn't like three songs initially. It's why i'm not really huge on albums over the say 50 min mark. it can be done brilliantly but you need a GREAT batch of songs. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Oh shit, the album has leaked already? Is it 2007 again? They never leak this early anymore. Not surprised it happened though considering there's already been listening partys and reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 OK played it again...it's not my favourite. ABIII and Fortress still hold the top two! But I can't really choose between the last three. With AB it's all loved to death by me...so it's in tied third position as of now, which is absolutely incredible to me!

bluefox4000 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) I've replayed it twice more.......while still amazing. it falls off big time on the back end of it for me. they could have easily shaved a bit off the record and it would have been much tighter.

J2112YYZ Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Very much enjoyed my first listen. Can't say I like it better than their other albums yet though. Don't think they'll ever beat AB III. I find it funny that Mick is now just realising what a great player Tremonti is. His playing has always been what makes this band great for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Funny although I agree...I actually really like the second half. It's just the album feels so long it loses impact. But I'm not sure I've ever been 100% satisfied with the flow of an AB album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His playing has always been what makes this band great for me. it's like i told Segue. his playing never jumped out at me on the previous albums. it was fine for what they were doing. but mind blowing........no. since his solo projects he's really blossomed. Culminating in this new recored. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Tremonti and Myles together is magic. I sorta don't feel that vibe as much on this album but you know what, after absolutely adoring Dust this year, I am eased to have more top notch Tremonti! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles is overshadowed a whole lot on this record. after 4 listens i still can't focus on his voice. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like...through and through...I'm not someone who ever overlooked Tremonti...he's always been my favourite part of this band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I've listened to this recored about six times well absored in me already. So my rankings 1. AB III2. The Last Hero3. Fortress4. One Day Remains5. Blackbird. It was extremely easy to get a handle on the new album Cause their a pretty Straight forward band. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Yeah without being bland...I love how they blend complexity with simplicity. It's like they are showing off AND teaching mainstream rock bands a thing or two about real music. The new album is top three for me. I'm not sure it has any highs I enjoy as much as the best of Fortress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 In honor of the new album im gonna give this band another run. Honestly i am not familiar with most of their stuff. Have blackbird and III qued up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 The new album is starting to overtake my life...Myles voice is really impressive, I think this is vocally his best work yet whilst the guitar interplay is off the scale. Still my vote for best rock band of our era! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I think the Last Hero title track is a masterpiece. Best song on the album. Island Of Fools, You Will Be Remembered and Crows On A Wire....all fab! The second half of this album is my favourite section of this album!
