Thanks. I'd probably keep the last iteration of the chorus as it is. I just thought the transition into the first one should've been more subtle. If they had kept the guitars lower in the mix for the first chorus like in "Wonderful Life" it would've probably been spot on for me.

The main problem I find with Ghosts is the sudden jump in volume from the first verse to the chorus. I would’ve had the music drop out for “Do you feel the same for what once remained,” then have the band kick back in for the next line, “Yesterday is gone we can’t go back again!” Even then, I still ...

Myles’ Vocals – Blackbird, Watch Over You Mark’s Vocals – WDTTW Mark’s Guitar – The Damage Done, The End is Here Best Harmonies – Slip to the Void (especially love the way they play off each other in the bridge and the “moment you let love go” line of the chorus) Flip’s Drumming – Come to Life, Show...

I suppose Brian's column is the one marked "El Mucho."

good song, but way too much production done to it. doesnt feel natural at all. the "oh ohs" throughout the verses are so annoying I think the chorus damages the song though, which seems to be the problem on many ABIII songs (Breathe Again, Fallout, Home...). I do kinda agree about the &qu...

Yeah, just heard the song a few days ago. It just feels so fresh, full of life (despite the sad nature of the lyrics.) I can't believe they chose Breath Again over that one.

I've always felt the chorus for Still Remains was missing something. I think it could use an extra line before the last one, like so... So carry on if you must go your way, Just carry on and leave me hear in chains. Though it breaks my heart, your freewill still remains. (spacey intro riff with the ...

Actually, if I had to leave off one song it would've been "So You're Afraid." The riff just lacks personality to me, compared to the rest of the song (plus it sounds an awful lot like the one in "You Waste Your Time.") And the chorus is fine, but not much of a standout in my opin...

What I do think is missing is variety on the second half of ABIII. Individually, I dig each song. But as an album, Breathe Again, Fallout, etc.all seem to run together. I feel like fallout was the end of the main body of the album, and everything else afterwords is kind of like an afterparty. It's ...

Still Remains - The intro + verse are just perfect! But then the chorus is very mediocre and I don't really like the vocals in that part. The bridge again comes up with a phenomenal riff but then it kinda falls apart :shrug.Probably it's just that riff that leads into the chorus again that sounds w...

Have you ever listened to a song and thought to yourself, something’s missing here? I know I have. In general I think AB is better about it than most semi-radio friendly bands, but there are always some songs that don’t quite reach their full potential. What songs do you feel came close to greatness...

When I heard cerebral, I took it to mean the album would have kittens on it. http://www.deshow.net/d/file/animal/2009-07/kitten-photo-632-2.jpg Meow. cerebral + kittens = KITTYBRAINS!!! :eek Seriously though, I'm sure whatever "cerebral" they mean plays into the whole 'becoming more progr...

What if they tried a cover of "Twilight Zone?" I could see Myles and Mark having a lot of fun with that one.

"...and you're gonna know, when the bullet hits the bone!"

:wave Hey all. As a newcomer to AB nation, I would like to start by asking one simple question. What's in a sound? Specifically, with respect to new material what do you think would constitue a blackbird-type album vs. an AB3-type album, sound-wise? Just a little food for thought. :headscratch by

(1) Playing "Ties that Bind" on "Guitar Hero, Warriors of Rock" was the first thing that got me interested. I wasn't too much into a lot of the metal/alternative stuff in the game, but the song was one of the few I liked. But really, "Ghosts of Days Gone By" was the son...
