I'm glad that Myles doesn't look malnourished on the band photo again. He seems to be generally in good shape. At least that's what I judge from his perfomances with Slash.

Seriously though, this album art is stunning and arguably the best album art they've had, IMO.

Tremonti - A Dying Machine
Alter Bridge - ABIII
Both Velvet Revolver albums were 13 songs each and were fantastic front to back.

The guys have stated in the past about not making albums too long, so it should be a positive thing. It means they thought that all the songs were too good to take off the album.

This has got me excited:
In regard to the rest of Alter Bridge’s discography, Mark says that frontman Myles Kennedy called it “the answer to” 2010 album AB III. Oooooh…

“It’s hard to completely get away from who we are – the same four guys in the band – but everyone who’s heard the record says it has its own personality and doesn’t sound like any particular Alter Bridge record,” reveals Mark. “But that being said, it’s familiar Alter Bridge territory, and Myles has said it’s kind of the answer to AB III. That was a very brooding and dark lyrical record, whereas this one is the yang to the yin of that. AB III was kind of about a loss of faith and not believing, Myles was having a dark moment in that time and he wrote the majority of the lyrics. This is more of an enlightening, Zen kind of record – it’s not a preachy record by any means, it’s more of a free-spirited kind of thing.”

Expanding on specific songs and the material on the album that pushes the boundaries of what an Alter Bridge track can be, Mark elaborates: “Godspeed is probably my favourite track, and that one, more than any other when I play it for other people, they say, ‘That’s your song? I wouldn’t have guessed it.’ Right off the bat it sounds like a different band for a moment, and that’s exciting to me. That’s what I was trying to do – that’s what I was chasing.”

Very cool piece of information there. Definitely intrigued by that!

I'm excited about the first part in that article, about the loops and how they built some songs with those in the background.

Really hoping they do some sort of single teaser (20-30 sec) by the end of this week or something. Surely they've gotta give us something to help hype the release next Friday..fingers crossed!

"Retro" and "old school synth vibe" sound absolutely terrible. Very concerned over what this is going to sound like now.

But why? I would love to hear AB try some new territory. Expand the game a little, gain some new fans across the globe.
