I didn't think too fondly of Godspeed when I heard it at the Listening Party. I thought they jumped the shark and went too hard on the synths and keyboard effects. Now that I have the luxury of listening to it at home on replay, it is growing on me and it's a nice song that celebrates more of the l...

I voted: Dying Light, Forever Falling, Clear Horizon, Godspeed, and In the Deep. Right now I like every track but have been skipping the pre-release singles because I have played them to death before the album came out and need to give other songs their time. The Bitter End, Wouldn't You Rather, and...

To me this album feels like fortress + ODR. Anyone else get that feel? I mean it has definitely a unique sound that I could tell the songs as belonging to this album. It's more upbeat but has some extremely heavy riffs like Fortress (Forever Falling, Native Son, WYR, Indoctrination) but also has a l...

Man, didn't realise so many people hated The Last Hero. Thought it was a decent album. I feel like it's miles better than ABIII at least. I def don't hate The Last Hero, I just find myself skipping tracks more frequently on that album. Twilight, My Champion, Writing on the Wall (god I'm gonna catch...

Listening now. Sounds like the best stuff (except Dying Light) was not released pre-release. Have to listen a lot more but WOW so far. That Forever Falling riff is a kick in the face and awesome after a very old school Tremonti intro. Getting goosebumps listening to Godspeed right now. Clear Horizon...

Sitting here waiting until midnight Thursday/ Friday for the rest of the songs to download on my itunes.

At this point, I think we should have separate pinned thread for the online reviews and another one for reactions.

Myles was either really stoned or just really blissed out.

They did My Champion the other night

Holy shit. They are still paying off that Wind-Up contract buy-out?!?!? Mad props for sticking to it and not selling out guys.

New written review of Walk the Sky, with a very hype-inducing description of Godspeed: https://metalwani.com/2019/10/review-alter-bridge-walk-the-sky.html The reviews have been very positive so far. I was just looking through the reviews on that site and they give lots of 9s. Interesting note that ...

https://i.ibb.co/0hHzzP1/4.jpg Ugh back when Ashlee Simpson was number 1 :S. I had just turned 17 when ODR was released. A lot of good memories from that time! I was 15 the the time. Good times. At the time I'd never expect to be able to say this, but today I'd gladly take that shallow pop drivel o...

On Take the Crown. Anyone else miss Myles outro in the live version?

Also: Did you catch Tim's comments on the Ao12 fb post about Volbeat that dived into the subject of backing tracks?

As others have said, I think we hold AB to a higher standard given how much they have developed over the years and how they are light years above their contemporaries that they get lumped with (*Cough*Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Disturbed). Those other bands churn out the same r...

If this song came out in 2010, everyone would be going crazy about it. I like the song a lot, but I also feel like at 6 albums in we’ve all been spoiled by so much good songwriting since 2004. Compare this to what bands like Shinedown and Breaking Benjamin have done from 2004 to now, and AB’s level...

The song is great. Oh how I wish I could hear what either guitar is doing... Can hardly distinguish one riff from another until the bridge. The intro is especially crowded... Can't wait to hear it live or someone on youtube to cover it so I can actually hear the music and not just "The Elvis H...

A bit of a lyrical analysis for Dying Light. I saw someone say the eternal life bit made them think of Christianity but I think this works more well with a Buddhist outlook, especially considering Myles said he was exploring Eastern philosophies. In Buddhism life is suffering and we work our way to...

My Thoughts on Dying Light: -easily the best song released so far -definitely ticks all the boxes of what makes an AB song without being a copy of another song -Excellent vocal delivery. I'd say best song for Myles voice so far on the album -It sounds so haunting and I got chills listening -Mark sol...

What about Dust? Love Can Only Heal definitely has the dynamics and length. I would say the Great Beyond is arguable.
