Hey guys, is it just me or does this album sound bad blasting in the car? I can't turn the volume up without the bass frequencies rattling my dash and doors, and it sounds distorted as hell. I've never experienced this before..I even replaced my speakers and it still sounds terrible blasted. Are yo...

Good evening ladies and gents (I presume there's some ladies on board at least). I don't post often but when I do I make it count. I was one of many who pre ordered and have not received the album yet due to that sob named Mathew bringing a mass amount of rain and wind on our beloved east coast. Th...

TSOF review is up: http://thealterbridgenation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2955#p181373 Go see!! ^^^ This and Island of Fools are the reviews I'm looking forward to the most, just from the buzz-hype alone. Sounds like a great track. Can't wait to hear the dang thing soon! Island Of Fools I'v...

Eh, I still can't read the rules. Even though I've had several posts edited for the same thing.

I don't think it's all due to the production from a mixing perspective (although that's a good piece of it), but I also think the guitar rig changes over the years play into it as well. It is actually due to the production. Bands like Periphery or Tesseract also use super low tunings but their mixe...

Yeah, I don't care who's singing.. metal is metal to me. Metal is about the instruments and the aggressiveness of them. It doesn't have to be some dude with a deep roar screaming, or double bass kicks every 10 seconds. Alter Bridge is a heavier band than many other standard heavy metal bands of the ...

At least, with the Best Buy pre-order, you get the extra bonus track. I'm looking at the actual price, $15. Seems a bit steep for a new release, especially when I got Fortress for $9.99, but a bonus track, apparently from the ODR era, seems to add more value. Maybe, you got the bad end of the shipp...

This kind of sucks that even though I pre-ordered the album from Best Buy, I can't get the same songs everyone else does early. I wish they would honor it and give us the songs if we gave them proof we ordered the album. I spent over $20 on my purchase, when I could have waited until the 7th and pa...

Don't really understand what the push for more "heaviness" in their songs is, to be honest. Seems like they perfectly satisfied all of the heavier rock fans with the last album or two. It doesn't need to get more heavy. Being heavy =/= being progressive. I didn't say it was weaker simply ...

IMO ABIII is easily their weakest album. Every song felt too similar in pace and style, and it really wasn't heavy at all. Dark, yes. The production on that album sounded really muddy and unfocused. Their wasnt really anything memorable in terms of Mark's work either. ODR was great for what it was. ...

For fuck's sake. If heavy is what people want, then they're going to be very satisfied. This album is easily heavier than Fortress. I wont go into detail, but they are releasing their more moderate songs early. I can promise you that.
