To be honest, one detail I do hope they explore further is the synth experimentation - I love the sections in Walk the Sky where synth is present, in my opinion it really adds to the atmosphere of certain songs.

A pure concept album would be amazing but, as others have already mentioned, I doubt we'll see one solely because of the time constraints Myles and Mark work within. Personally I'd love to see a longer production process for the next AB record, just to gauge any differences in overall song quality a...

It's not even funny how much Marks vocals have improved, a fantastic performance!

Going to the Nottingham and Birmingham shows, looking forward to what the setlist looks like for each night! Will be at their O2 Arena show in London - the biggest show of their tour! Will be my first AB gig so really looking forward to it. Ahh, what I'd give to see AB for the first time again! I wa...

I'm certain that The Bitter End is about re-framing your existence as a person. Acknowledging/accepting our mortality, no longer worrying about existential things outside of our control, and finding meaning/enjoyment in whatever we feel gives us purpose in life. I think Myles may have mentioned this...

Been waiting to hear a live performance of Dying Light ever since it was released, this was great!

Moving my post in the newer ranking thread to here as I didn't realise it was a duplicate. I have an extraordinarily hard time ranking each individual album, mainly because I never know which metric to focus upon (for example, album-wide consistency or the strength of individual songs?) Having said ...

I have an extraordinarily hard time ranking each individual album, mainly because I never know which metric to focus upon (for example, album-wide consistency or the strength of individual songs?) Having said that, this is my personal ranking: 1) Fortress 2) Blackbird 3) Walk the Sky 4) ABIII 5) The...

Yeah, it's more accurately just a vocal fry than an actual growl.

Not sure i agree it leaves TLH in the dust, nothing on here is topping TSOF,Island or Cradle for me and TLH actually had guitar solos but still its a great album Hmm. I'd hazard a guess and predict the general consensus (or at the very least my personal opinion) is that Walk the Sky is a far more c...

Too early? Give me your top 5 off Walk The Sky! Fuck I'm actually struggling for which ones to pick, what an amazing problem to have! Decided on these five despite how much it physically hurt to not include Godspeed, Native Son and The Bitter End: Forever Falling Walking on the Sky Dying Light Tear...

Well, Forever Falling and Walking On The Sky are for sure in my top 10 favorite AB songs now. Holy shit balls man. I am loving this album. This. Can't quite believe how much I'm enjoying the album and these two songs in particular, it's proving impossible to listen to either of them without jigging...

Ahahaha yeah the chorus is too damn singable, RETURN REMISSION

WALK THE SKY REACTION One Life : 7/10 I love this intro song, does a really good job of setting/summing up the lyrical mood of the album. Wouldn't You Rather : 6/10 Nothing spectacular but a solid Alter Bridge song nonetheless. Exactly what you'd imagine the lead single to be. In The Deep : 5/10 Th...

Yeah Mark absolutely nailed the vocals on Forever Falling, and the songs that include vocal trade-offs between Myles and Mark are always personal highlights! I would honestly welcome more lead vocals from Mark, at least one song per album (consistently). I could be crazy, but the intro riff (after t...

I'm tempted to give a short opinion on each song later (in the same vein as a track by track review), but just generally speaking I am beyond relieved! In some places the goosebumps were coming out in full force, I just love this album. Forever Falling, Walking on the Sky and Dying Light are tied fo...

If that's the case then I'd love to see Myles branch out and experiment. He seems to really enjoy playing Telecasters, enough to try them out in an AB setting despite the single-coils.

It'll still feel strange for a while seeing him perform without a PRS though..

Perfect 10/10 review for Walk the Sky: http://rocknloadmag.com/news/alter-brid ... um-review/
