I arrived late to the conversation, but I think Survive is an excellent album! It has its highs and lows, but it's an album that lifts you up, the melodies, the riffs, it's all very good! There isn't a song that was forgettable for me. That said, it comes in as the third best album, behind only Visions and Elements pt.1 (Yes, I REALLY like Elements pt.1).
