Man i really liked Stapp's voice in his prime especially. Torn blew me away the first time I heard that song. Also, I really liked the singing on Are you Ready? and Is This the End?. Honestly tho that singing style sounds great, but its not necessarily sustainable live. Best to back off a bit during...

No way does Dying Light make the cut.

Weak lyrics during the chorus that i cant relate to, and the verses and solos are okay but nothing amazing.

Over the years i got desensitized to blood and scary scenes in movies lol

Take the Crown is a pretty pop song, but so what? I like all types of music.

Also sometimes AB could stand to not just do the same thing lyrically they always do.

Its cool that youre good with spicy foods Shea but im not good with spicy foods at all.

Cavo has some unknown songs that are pretty good. Not unknown, but rare.

Grounded by Cavo is a really good song.

The guitar work of Grace and Mojo Pin was entirely the work of Gary Lucas. Jeff just wrote the lyrics and vocal melody. Also, while good and it did expand upon the arrangement....the Buckley version of Hallejuah borrows very heavily from the john cale version, which is pretty much the version most p...

Bridge of Outshined reminds me the of the bridge of Live for Today by 3 Doors Down.

Also even if AB's mixing isnt awful, its still some of the worst mixing out there compared to most other rock bands/bands. Wall of sound and loudness wars.

Anyways, I wont bring this up again because its been talked about to death already. Just wanted to make a specific point.

The US has a winner takes all, two party system. Might not be the best way to run an election. And Trump supporters would be well advised to actually use common sense. What they do instead is to just say someone has TDS everytime Trump gets criticized about something. How about possibly consider the...

The Cage as a song is alright, but the bridge is really good.

No, I assessed them based on the fact that I've listened to their other albums with the same exact earbuds, on the same exact streaming platform. Comparatively, it sounds better. You don't have to have an audiophile sound setup to tell that you can hear individual instruments better on the 2 new so...

---I liked the Doesnt Matter song. You dont see many lyrics in songs talk about the theme of forgiveness.

I hope the song with Mark on lead vocals is an AB song with Mark singing rather than just an Tremonti song.

Damn. Long thread. I’d like to say that one of the reasons I’m sometimes critical of the mixing on the albums is because I think more people I know would give AB more of a chance if the mixing on the studio albums sounded better. And not just wall of sound or loudness wars era stuff. Like, I’m not c...

I like Brand New Start but the chorus could stand to be a little better.

I'm just glad they released P&K first, ST disappointed me greatly at first and I gotta stop listening to P&K over and over again so I won't ruin it for myself before the album comes out. ST grew on me a tiny bit but I still find it kinda bland. I’m glad they made both songs. One was more sh...

I never really watch the band’s music videos. Then when I think of the song I just think of the video. Not a fan of AB’s music videos and that’s okay. I got tired of music videos in general over the past 10 years. ——Maybe you guys are right about the production sounding better in differnt format oth...

Hard disagree

Opposite of the name Blackbird?
