I skip 5 songs on Blackbird and honestly if it wasn't for the title song and Brand New Start it would easily be my least fav AB album Interesting!! I love how wide spread everyone's opinions are here! It's healthy to have differing views on music, if we all liked the same things it would be boring ...

I was one of the people that gave in and downloaded the leak, so I've had time to give it quite a few listens. Honestly, on my first listen, I was disappointed. It didn't have the same punch or clean sound like Fortress, which might be their best album. But after I listened more and more, I started...

I have ODR as a solid start,BB the first real AB album and would give it an 8,ABIII i loved to pieces other than the production sounding a little muddy,Fortress a masterpiece and Last Hero their crowning jewel

Damn, I used to like the old Linkin Park too hahahaha. Thank you for the kind words, Fix. I love the guys and I can't wait to see them tonight. But I would be remiss if I were to come here and put off some sort of fake enthusiasm over something that I didn't really enjoy. That's just not the way I ...

Perhaps it's because I just love our troops and think it is one of the most artfully worded military tributes of all time. And one of the most underrated bridges in AB's catalogue. And probably a top 3 live performance of a song they've ever done (look up One by One in Spokane). And probably becaus...

It is not only the dynamics that contributes to the quality of a record.

Which i adore

One by One is boring af pardon my French i skip it every time

Wow, I am REALLY surprised to read so many negtive things about this album here. I totally agree with you! I love this record! Though I agree with people here on the lack of dynamics, I think it will sink in once you hear it more and more. I keep thinking that it would be cool to hear YWBR in the O...

You and me both brother

This is my fav AB album i enjoy every song.The only 2 songs that i don't love is My Champion and You will be remembered but i still wouldn't skip them.I think Cradle,This Side of Fate,Island of Fools and the truly epic The Last Hero are some of the best ever put together songs.I also think that Losi...

I still feel like Summergirl or 12/31 are just as high or higher. Kind of strange that, if you want to make a mark on a song, you completely layer the highest note he hits on the entire album so it's more difficult to fully appreciate the note. I don't know why they let Elvis talk them into doing t...

One listen through - this really saddens me. There is some really beautiful songwriting here...but it's buried beneath this fuzzy, muddy mountain of noise. Why? Why did anyone think it was a good idea to make it sound like this? There are some tracks that had the potential to be really, really grea...

Myles harmonizing before 'This Side Of Fate' solo is like the highest note he has ever recorded right? :wtf haha no way. Absolutely no way. I'd say that Myles has hit that note or higher on about 5 or 6 Mayfield 4 songs. Probably in WDTTW too. But I'm talking about the second voice not the main, li...

Okay, I just listened through Poison In My Veins. Again, not really a fan of it. All of the new stuff feels like "Alter Bridge light" to me. Where are the amazing bridges and riffs? What happened to the heavy side of AB? I get the "rinse-repeat" feeling (and "light", t...
