Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 01

When it comes to Battle of the Track Numbers this question sucks since Track 01 has several strong songs. Ties That Bind, Slip To The Void and Cry Of Achilles are all in my top 10 Alter Bridge songs. Despite having such strong songs it probably won't be that close of a contest in the poll - Cry Of A...

Re: Forever Falling: AB's best work since Blackbird title track?

Obviously some people might consider it that since everyone's got their own opinions - it's not like everyone considers Blackbird the best Alter Bridge song after all, even if it's probably the highest rated overall. But I don't think there will be a general sense that lots of people rate Forever Fa...

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread

I think I'm finally ready to give grades. Heads up: I can be a little harsh - I was a Tomatometer-approved film critic for the past 7 years! Overall I quite like the album. One Life: 3.5 / 5 Wouldn't You Rather: 4 / 5 In The Deep: 3 / 5 Godspeed: 3.5 / 5 Native Son: 3.5 / 5 Take The Crown: 4 / 5 In...

Re: Walk The Sky - Favorite Songs Poll

These results are pretty in line with my impression of what the most standout songs were, except the fact Clear Horizon isn't among the big ones. That song along with Falling Forever was the immediate clear contender for my favourite on first listen and is holding strong in the top 5 after several l...

Re: Battle of The Track Numbers: Track 01

Probably the strongest track number lineup. Leave It Alone is one of my favourite songs from the first album and Tremonti in general, it probably still contains the best solo in Tremonti, but My Last Mistake is the first one that came into my head seeing the thread title and one of the best and defi...

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 05

Whoever the people are voting for TLH songs, I would guess they are doing it just to be different and or trolling. As not one of them has commented on their choice. I voted The Other Side for track 03 because it is an excellent song. One of the best from the new album and one of the most unique and...

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 01

I missed voting on this, but just to comment that Ties That Bind, Slp To The Void and Cry Of Achilles are all top 10, maybe even verging on top 5 Alter Bridge songs for me. I am not sure which of the three I would vote for, I might throw my vote to Ties That Bind or Slip To The Void for old times' s...

Re: The Last Hero - AB Nation Discussion

Still fighting the loudness war on this record. When I have to turn my radio up to hear a soft intro (Otherside) and then down when the song kicks in. This annoys me to death. You know what record you didn't have to do any of that? ODR I just don't understand why everyone mixes music like this toda...

Re: Favourite Song from The Last Hero

I decided to vote for The Other Side as it is one of the best songs and possibly the fastest for me to really get to appreciate, but it's a bit of a placeholder vote right now. It's fair to say it was my single favourite song after one listen or two, but I expect I will eventually settle on The Last...

Re: Your Top 5 From The Last Hero

I made the poll for people to vote for just their favourite song in this thread . I think giving a few options like in this poll will give a better impression of which songs are the most liked, but it'll be interesting to see which songs most people pick as the best if forced to only choose one as w...

Since we're now getting opinions on people's favourite songs from The Last Hero, this thread is to vote for your single favourite song on the album. There is already another thread to vote for your top few songs, so this one is a poll for only your favourite song so far. You can list as many as you ...

I've had three spins from the album so far. I started writing this review after my second time, and writing during the third spin. Enjoy! I’ve been a long time poster on this forum, from way back to the ABB.Net days. I don’t post much here much anymore, but I do lurk. I’ve witnessed the changes the...

There will be plenty of opportunity to dissect the album later, but for now I will just post some disorganised thoughts after listening through a few times in the past day or so (I was luckily able to hold off on the leak or any other released songs until now, and steered clear of this place, so onl...

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion

Ok, the intro is really cool, and although it's different from the rest of the song if gives it a very different feel and improves it greatly (it was really not so great to launch quickly into the firs verse). I have literally only listened to the full version once (though I am currently listening t...

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion

Good that the full version is being released. I was afraid they would stick with the "single edit", as the band (or whoever makes these decisions for them) are pretty terrible with knowing what music to release and how. Haven't heard it yet, I may have missed the upload of it for today, bu...

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion

I will second that this sounds very like Slash and Myles... thankfully it's more reminiscent of World On Fire rather than the terrible Apocalyptic Love. I like World On Fire but wasn't necessarily rooting for too much of Myles' style from it to make it into Alter Bridge. However this song is catchy ...

Re: DUST - The Second Part

Some random thoughts from further listenings: - My Last Mistake is an awesome opener - I think it represents the peak (so far) of the sort of straight ahead thrash metal style Tremonti songs, and Mark's vocals are a big reason for that, there is a real consistent edge to them in this song. - The fir...
