On the second episode. Watching one episode a night.

Stupid idea, I know

Watch Your Words
Break Me Down or One By One
Breathe Again or Make It Right
Cry a River or Peace Is Broken
Losing Patience or You Will Be Remembered

Way back in the day, I met my girlfriend at an outdoor Metallica concert near Houston with ~40K people. But we had been dating for 9 months already and she was there with another guy when I surprisingly (for both of us, apparently) ran into her. What were the freakin odds in a crowd like that?? She...

Love the video, especially the woman at the end!

So after a few more listens and some sleep: Positives: -The main riff is cool, and I like Myles's lead over it. Especially after the first chorus with his vocal run. -I like the octaves the second guitar, playing in the verses (or is it a synth?) -The pre-chorus is really cool. Best part of the song...

Yes!

So boring. I don't even know where to start... I don't mind a straight-forward single, but there's not a single memorable melody in this song, besides maybe the intro/pre-chorus.

How dare you defile Stephen King’s name like that. At least when Stephen King is horny, he fleshes out his horny writing.

Oh he's a master at horny writing. I'm not defying that.

Is there anything new? A sample, sound or vibe? Something related to Mark's interview?

Sounds like Stephen King, lol.

How is the mix compared to TLH?

The Last Hero has spectacular moments, but that's it. No spectacular songs, in my opinion.

That makes it really hard for me to listen to TLH. AB III has fillers, but at least you can skip those. You can't skip choruses or bridges.

I'm sure the song isn't pro drug abuse...

Mark said something about his guitar tech.

Super excited about the synths!

The Other Side was influenced by Massive Attack. It's just a new approach to writing the music. Mark himself says in the article that we might not even hear the influence.

I just hope the lyrics won't be too cheesy. For the rest, I'm excited by all the information.

It isn't going to be a synthwave sound...

I'm excited about the first part in that article, about the loops and how they built some songs with those in the background.

For the same reason people watch TV shows from start to finish and don't pick random episodes and go back and forth between seasons.

I like long albums, but long albums require different sounds and need to flow well. When it's just a collection of songs, and four songs on the album sound alike and share the same patterns/layers/moods, one or two of them could easily be taken off the album, even though they might be perfectly fine...
