First listen.... incredible. Its nice to have Alter Bridge back.

I hope the album is not as long as Wikipedia suggests. 72 minutes is far, far, far too long. I do like long songs but not lenghty albums. Interesting. Maybe its because I grew up with $.99 singles, Limewire and playlists... but I've never been able to appreciate the idea of an album. I listen to a ...

Rising todee is unacceptable. Literally making me cringe.

They definitely slowed it the fuck down though. Now they just need to work on the volume and getting Myles to work on his syllables.

Nothing could be worse than when he sang "And the bombs keep falling in the deed of the night".

I can't remember, was there a listening party for AB III? This was Alter Bridge's first official listening party. Plenty of folks have gotten early listens for the previous albums, but these were more one-off occurrences. Oh ok, right. I distinctly remember people leaking the intro to STTV. I can't...

They def. should have busted out Shed My Skin and gave you all a classic legendary moment.

That video quality is incredible.

^ HAHAHA That makes me feel a little better about not being there right now.

Mark also said Cradle To The Grave is a song title and is 5+ minutes.

Another song name is This Side of Fate or Beside Fate... couldn't quite catch it.

Did he just say the album name was "Last Hero"?

Funny you mention Florence and the Machine. I was just listening to Lungs this morning - great album. This don't care for their last two records besides a few select songs.

I almost always like bands' older material. The only band thats an exception, for me, is Sevendust.

I wish they'd pull a Beyonce and drop the album out of nowhere. Like tomorrow.

In the end, deny, still remains, truth, lost.

This is a stain on Myles' career. His vocabulary seems to have shrunk to like 8 words.

The only one for me is Show Me A Sign. To me its just a loud cacophony of harsh noise. The vocal effects and echoes make me want to rip my ears out. And the whole cringe-worthy, "to the darkness I am born" bit. Not a fan. AB has a couple of unremarkable songs - Break Me Down, Breathe Again...
