Official "The Last Hero" Thread (pre-release discussion)

Wow. I've listened to the snippets about 3 times each. I know this is only 10% of the album but it sounds like Blackbird and Fortress had a baby.

Show Me a Leader, Cradle to The Grave, Island of Fools, and The Last Hero are standouts to me

Update: At 4:48 PM CST it looks like the page is down

Is it just me or was the amazon page taken down? I was just about to listen to Island of Fools and now I'm getting a 404 error.

Same here...so glad I woke up from a nap in time to hear this!

[Timotheus]

Aww.. That's probably a good thing.

Has Shea heard it?

I just decided to check the forums and noticed people talking about snippets, immediately jumped to the computer to check em out. Couldn't get through them all

... the end is here

Omg, I got to hear the Show Me A Leader clip twice and then missed out on the rest before they were taken down .

Love it, definitely a Myles solo, and I'm gonna add that I hear a Dream Theater vibe in that solo too in addition to A7X.

WHAT A TEASE

WHAT A TEASE

We were teased with teasers, and they took them away.

[One Drew Remains]

uh, nothing. We were listening to that old Fortress stream. That's all.

IS IT STILL UP ON YOUTUBE?! I MUST RUSH OVER THERE TO SEE IF IT'S STILL UP!

[One Drew Remains]

Go fer it, lol

[Timotheus]

Myles' vocal melody at the end of The Last Hero really stood out to me. I can still hear it. So good...

[anguyen92]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I only heard Show Me A Leader, but we're getting to hear that song on Tuesday right?

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

All I can say after hearing those snippets, is that if there is a single coming out on Tuesday, and it is indeed Show Me A Leader....I am sooooo fucking pumped to hear the rest of that song.

I was lucky enough to hear all the snippets before they disappeared. But I already forgot what some sounded like. I'm also excited that we got to see the official track times for the songs and the fact it's a 70 min album for 14 songs isn't that bad.

Myles' voice and melodies were still as great as ever, and I honestly don't mind it if it turns out to be Tremonti instrumentally with Myles vocals. But you can't really judge that based off of 30 seconds of a song.

I really hope it comes out Tuesday. If so I'll be at the show they might play it live for the first time. Regardless, they pretty much confirmed on their Twitter that it comes out before August.

[endofsilence93]

Damn bummed out I missed the previews while they were still up

[musthavefaith07]

Why is everyone saying Tuesday? I thought I heard August 2nd? Might be wrong tho..

Alert Bridge's Twitter confirmed it's not August 2nd. They said sooner than August.
