Yeah, I have to agree with this one. This band recorded horrible album (but ofc opinions are just opinions) but majority of people consider that material in light of Flip being involved in this project - AB member is up to something - it must be awesome. The truth is, maybe 1-2 songs are cool, but in overall, this record sounds muthafuckin plastic and overproduced. And unfortunately this is a direction that a lot of mainstream modern rock/metal bands go in nowadays.

Majority of the people on this board agreed that ODR is ABs best album, and have come out to like a lotta songs by AB which sound pretty close to Tremonti's earlier work. Am just echoing that... how the fuck is that a problem? Get your heads outta your asses.
What is the problem here? I don't consider ODR as their best effort. Am I deranged or something?

It's not so much of an issue of you hating the music, but you can't go around cussing people out and insulting board members. There's no reason for it.
This, and you also can't say people live in a very confused, disoriented fashion, in a state of cognitive dissonance, when they have another opinion as you :lol this may seem like very convincing to you, but it's offending, and a bit awkward when the other person is obviously right.

We had this conversation before, and you seemed to really ignored my thoughts on that one and I also posted, yesterday, that I did not really liked Apocalyptic Love as much. Is saying something like being considered a sheep or any other negative names?

Don't you think the reason why we all love anything that came out of the AB camp because it is actually pretty good to listen and if we did not like the majority of the stuff (that includes Blackbird - Today), why are we spending our time here?

Again, if I thought I like a band and then that band is not what I really thought of (Saliva, Seether), then I am pretty much abandoning the ship anyway. That is not the case with AB and I am very honest with my answer here. Go ahead, call me all of names you want to say (I won't be able to see it though).

I just like listening to music that I prefer and I prefer it with Tremonti (band) rather than something like Creed in its prime. I understand you prefer other things, but that does not mean that you have the right to call anyone negative names or asskissers or whatever. Does not really do much and not really build your credibility.

I will agree that I think ODR is AB's best effort. But, Creed is my favorite band, and ODR is closer to my music taste than AB3 and BB.
I also agree that Mark's style is getting rather repetitive. This is coming from a guy who drove 6 hours at 18 yrs old to see his solo show and meet him. Mark is a bad fucking ass guitar player/songwriter. I just think he needs to mix it up more.
I really like All That I Got. I like the effects alot. The pre chorus and chorus are one of my favorites from All I Was. I think it's an excellent album. He just needs to differentiate between AB and Tremonti. Pre Full Circle, Creed and AB were night and day were different bands. At this point, it all seems to be meshing together.
Kinda just rambling, sorry lol

No, no. This is fine. This is rather very nice to read. This is an opinion that I do not really fully agree on at points, but there are very interesting merits that I agree on, like wishing that Mark would further more differentiate between AB/Tremonti/Creed.

Good to see there are some people with some sense on this board.

missed most of the past couple of pages, but based on the quotes of "Them Bones", I'm ok with that.

After giving the song a couple more listens to, I've come to appreciate it more. I've used ear buds for all of the listens after my initial post and the verses are much more comprehendible through them vs. my ipod speaker. It's growing on me.

Use earbuds or headphones, speakers don't do the song it's justice.

@ Jaded Rescue.. Its obvious it goes both way. I just gave it back, thats all, not saying am proud of calling names, but I don't regret it either.


And, cussing is not something am into on these forums a lot, but yeah, some people just ask for it.

Exhibit A: I love Tremonti's album, think Blackbird is AB's best and that AB are improving overall. I think All That I Got is decent, not great compared to Mark Tremonti's best though, understandable why it was left off the album.

Exhibit B: You fuckin douches need to get your head out your ass if you don't see that Tremonti's getting better, you guys can say watever you want but Alter Bridge have improved and only nostalgic fanboys can say otherwise, just stating my opinion tho. And BTW this song isnt close to Tremonti's best and clearly he knew it was shit or else he'd have put it on the album, some people just need to stop licking ass and admit that.

Same opinion, different post. It'd be helpful to understand that it's not generally opinions people have a problem with, but the manner in which they are posted.

Easy, mate. If you're not proud, just lead the discussion the other way around in a positive way.

RuRu hit it perfectly. No one's upset over different opinions, it's the condescending tone in the presentation of the opinion that irks people.

For example, I disagree with Ryan's opinion on Projected. I thought Human was a very solid record. But he wasn't condescending with his opinion, doesn't bother me to disagree.

Perfect post that pretty much summarizes this whole argument. It is all that need to be said.
