All I Was - The Song

Post by Jaded Rescue »

I thought I saw some posts that this wasn't a favorite by some, but does anyone else here think this song is one of the greatest things Mark has done in a long while?! The main riff blows me away every time, and I go batsh** crazy every time that octave hits over the riff, like the one at 0:12. The verse riff is really cool to me, I love how it just kind of constantly descends, it's a nice direction. The harmonies in the chorus are what you'd expect but in a good way, I think they work really work.

I think some of my other favorite parts are the bridge with all the pick-scraping and odd guitar sounds going on. I REALLY love the vocals at the end where he holds out "So unlike like the WAYYYYYY...". When I first heard him hold the note I was thinking "PLEASE PLEASE go down to notes x, y, and z", and he did just that and it sounds so damn epic!!

Yeah, I love it...that main riff is bone-jarring and then that octave comes along and just rattles it up a bit...sounds so awesome. I love the lyrics too.

All I Was might be my favorite on the CD. The intro riff is really cool, but the best part is definitely that bridge. First time I heard it today my mouth dropped and I was just staring at the speaker like ohhhhhh shit thats bad ass! And that yell at the end was awesome too.

all the riffs and the bridge blew me away, which is why the song is so high on my faves from the album.

When I first heard it, the bridge felt like it came out of nowhere but I seem to dig it now!

Thats one of the grooviest metal songs you may ever hear. I just saw it live last night and everyone starts bouncing around because of the beat.

Its a beast and I LOVE IT, I cant wit to learn it on guitar.
