It's an issue with what Mark thinks sounds good on his amp. I think it's the biggest issue. He used to have an amazing ear for clean and distorted tones, and it just doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Exactly. I remember him speaking in interviews about how he doesn't like to use in-ears, but use...

I think my problem is, my life got too awesome. I used to write as a way to deal with the loneliness of singlehood and all that jazz, but then I met someone and got married and had a baby and life got all kinds of good. And I'd love to try writing some love songs or something more upbeat and happy,...

So many things I want to say here, mostly echoing what others have said. I'll try to simply nail a few points: 1) Mark's tone is garbage, Myles' is only marginally better. It's not a live DVD issue. It's an issue with what Mark thinks sounds good on his amp. Same reason why every record since Blackb...

This I can't deny

Pretty boring and average song. The pitch correction is off and sounds unnatural on certain parts. Can't wrap my head around the Standing reference. 4/10 for me. Where are you hearing pitch correction exactly? I figured they were recording to tape again like they have been. Its blatant at the 40 se...

The first half is a Creed song, which sounds fine. It's like a mix of One and Lullaby. But when the drum fully kicks in it just kinda becomes kinda ehh. I totally cannot relate to that. Lullaby is the most cheesy song Creed ever wrote. Dunno where you can find cheesiness in "The First the Last...

Take You With Me might be one of the most fun songs Mark has ever written. Can't wait to jam to this driving with the windows down in the summer.

Nice to hear some clean parts in the bridge. I hope Mark actually brings an amp with a clean channel out on tour.

Much appreciated, everyone. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. Just thought I couldn't go wrong posting an Alter Bridge question in the Alter Bridge Nation forum. Thank you! You're not wrong at all, you're on the right site. The "Alter Bridge" subsection of the forum is just a bit...

Yea, I'm not too big on the mix and production either. I thought Haunted By Design was done rather tastefully but on Devil you have an electric guitar left, and electric guitar right, and it's all just very loud. Year of the Tiger also doesn't sound very pleasant to listen to either. Haunted By Des...

The main thing that has slightly disappointed me is that it's not quite as stripped back or authentic a blues/jazz sound as I was expecting. I was hoping for a roomy, warm and natural sound with less in the way of overdubs or studio meddling. Perhaps I was hoping for some slower and more mournful s...

Not sure if anyone on here was ever into Vertical Horizon back in 2000 when they dropped "Everything You Want", but the band has been consistently making great music ever since. Just last week they released a new album entitled, "The Lost Mile" and I really think it's one of the ...

I think the second line is "We all have our mistakes" but I'm not 100% sure, and I can't figure out the first. This also might be better served in the Alter Bridge section of the forums. Perhaps a mod could move it?

I agree there's a lot of familiar sounding stuff as well, but to be fair, the guy has written music in a lot of styles. I'll totally agree with this. I guess our expectations are high because he's shown such range before. Perhaps it's a bit unfair to expect him to keep shattering the ceiling. For m...

I like the songs, but that's just it. I like them. I'm not wowed by them, there's nothing interesting about them to me. Haunted by Design is probably my favorite of the bunch, but I'm still not blown away by it. The fact of that matter is, just because he changed up the instrumentation doesn't make ...

Woo!

I'm going speed dating tonight in Philadelphia. I'll report back if I get any weird stories to tell.
