there are amazing artists in every genre. although daughtry is not among them.

The man is a talented singer, but that's as far as it goes for me.

So which one of you bought Mark's house that he just sold? Nice place, did he let you keep the 68 Charger? https://www.redfin.com/FL/Windermere/6137-Cartmel-Ln-34786/home/46961690 How do you know that this was his house? AFAIK, it's not. You can see his house here: https://youtu.be/mPQ4Py4H4Ws

The bad production is 100% not helping this issue, either. Walk the Sky isn't as egregiously bad in terms of riff creativity as TLH, but the riffs aren't up to par with the rest of their catalogue, in my opinion. I don't hate Walk the Sky, but I won't pretend that it exists in a vacuum, either. Thei...

This may be hard to explain, but I'm going to try my best. To me, as a purveyor of fine riffs, each AB album until TLH has had tremendous riffs. Each of them had their identity, so to speak, and then TLH came out, featuring a swath of beehives and muddy, unintelligible riffs that kind of blend toget...

Does it bother anyone else that there are people who can't hear the difference between ODR's production and something like TLH? There are plenty of users here who just say they sound the same and it blows my mind. Go put on Broken Wings and listen to how clear everything is. Like how the **** can pe...

The track that’s growing on me the most is definitely Clear Horizon. The bridge is absolutely beautiful. Clear Horizon was my favorite upon first listen of the album. Haven't seen anyone bring it up yet, but the lyrics are extremely good in that one. I really don't like super repetitive lyrics (loo...

I will say that Myles, as Mark feared, ruined Take the Crown for me. I cannot help but think of ruthless tee-ball players whenever I hear it. Such brutal verses and lyrics, and it's about little children playing tee-ball.

It is about someone who's addicted to drugs and dies, IIRC. Mark outright stated as much in interviews.

Haven't noticed anyone else really mention it, but the lyric work on WtS is a really good improvement. One Life sounds (both vocally and lyrically) like a Mayfield Four song and I was really impressed by it.

Just saw AB in Dallas, and it was amazing. Left before Skillet (no evangelizing at a concert for me, thanks) and then had to deal with a massive fucking tornado immediately after. Destroyed a good bit of North Dallas.

TLH is a rock album this is a pop album . I prefer rock and TLH rocks. Like i have said many times nothing even comes close to TSOF or Cradle on this album. Im sure many Beeber fans might like this album though so if AB were trying to lure teen girls to their music this is the album to do it ...thi...

I'm glad they've figured out how to keep the choruses as heavy as the verses. Take the Crown suffers from that issue and it bothers me. Verses are so heavy and then the chorus kicks in all happy and shit. Just a weird tonal inconsistency that bothers me. Indoctrination is like that too, which is wh...

Many listens in now. I agree with assessments that say this is the most complete front to back effort. This one and Fortress are the most complete to me. I only skip two songs from each of them (Peace is Broken, Cry a River, Wouldn't You Rather and In the Deep) whereas I skip a few on the other alb...

Yo, can someone please post the lyrics?

So says the user who thinks TLH has no production issues.

Can we get some lyrics posted from the people with physical copies?

Only song i sometimes skip on TLH is My Champion sometimes You Will Be Remembered, im already skipping WYR, ITD and possibly Indoctrination find it overrated already This is where we differ then. I skip the majority of TLH as I really don't like that album. Easily their worst album for me, except f...

Hmm. I feel like I may end up where AB23 is at, as I really enjoy all the progressive/epic elements that the band has had on TLH and Fortress, so if those elements are gone and the songs feel rushed, then I probably won't enjoy it. I still haven't heard the rest of the album, but I haven't been sup...

For me Wouldn’t you rather is not worst than some other similar type songs on other their other album. And Pay no Mind is one of my favorite “banger” song of theirs. I would rank it as high as Island of fools. Hard disagree on WYR, but I do absolutely love Pay No Mind. I don't know why I included i...
