Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!
It is hard to believe, but I am still hoping that album doesnt became a ABIII part 2. And have Elvis involved kind make my hopes fade away. Wasn't he also involved in the Blackbird album? Blackbird was pure gold in my opinion. AB III didn't come close to topping Blackbird (in my opinion) but still ...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
It was more that you mentioned it several times earlier as well so I thought it should be replied to, particularly as there've been a few others since Addicted to Pain saying they were going "metal", which I don't really think is true. I do see what you're saying about the variety aspect,...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
Not sure why you keep mentioning them perhaps becoming a heavy metal band, Alter Bridge are not and never will be a heavy metal band, they're a hard rock band. They have influences from Lamb of God to Lady Gaga (Hi Myles!), but they aren't really going to change their identity that drastically anym...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
Being in a band must be a bit of a thankless task really. You can't please everyone, no matter what you come up with. Stick to your sound and what you've done before and there's a chance you might alienate some people but stray too far from what you've done before and... again, you take a risk. But...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
I'm 100% sure I'll like most of the music, but I agree. Blackbird and ODR is alter bridge. I'm fine with then trying to advance and progress like every band does, but I don't think gradually getting heavier every album is the right way to achieve that EXACTLY - going heavier is not necessarily prog...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
Did any of you even read where Mark said Myles wrote a ton of the heavy bits on this album? So don't just blame Mark for it being heavy. Yes. Nobody is blaming Mark for anything ... he just usually has a bigger influence on the heavy stuff. He has also been quoted as saying Myles usually pushes for...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
That's what I'm sayin. I just don't think it's then, yet they keep tryin to push it. Either way though im gonna like it, the songs just probably will have much less of an impact on me then blackbird burn it down or wayward one Yeah...it sounds to me like Tremonti is really pushing hard for the heav...

Re: The Fortress Reviews Thread - All Album Reviews Go Here
Damn...I must say these reviews worry me just a bit. IMO the thing that makes Alter Bridge so great is how they mix it up on every album - even their mid-tempo songs seem to rock it out. They are not strictly a heavy metal band...it's just not them. Can they play some great heavy stuff? Of course. H...

You get a 9/10 too . I like the subtle red skull blended into the background and the beam of light that looks as if it's shooting from Myles hand...nice touch. Just wish the text was centered on the sig

Alright...I'm excited to post mine. My first attempt below! Haven't seen one for "The Uninvited" yet. It reflects exactly what comes to mind when I think of the title...a horror-esque type of feel
