"Walk the Sky" at Target – preorder now!

Post by abw1987 »

Breaking news: Walk the Sky will be available at Target stores in the US. This is a pretty big deal since retail basically doesn't carry music anymore, and this will be the first Alter Bridge record Target will have carried since Blackbird.

They are currently running a buy-2-get-1-free promotion, so I encourage everyone to pick up a few copies and give them away as gifts to spread the word.

It looks like they'll also have it on vinyl for anyone interested.

Let's show Target music sales are alive and well, particularly in the Alter Bridge Nation!

Any of these releases have an extra song?

Nope, the standard release includes all of the songs recorded for WTS.

I love vinyl, but it cracks me up when a band like Alter Bridge puts such a digital-sounding album on an analog medium.

As in, there aren't any b-sides at all for this album cycle? Interesting.

It would appear not. Tim seemed to confirm as much in response to a recent Facebook comment, and going back to some of the studio recording photos, there are definitely only 14 lines on the whiteboard – which matches the number of tracks on WTS.

More tracks are the way to go in the age of streaming because a certain number of plays equals an album sale. Tons of artists are doing it. I'd rather have a more concise album but no one in the industry asked my opinion. (Also, no need for a Best Buy exclusive track anymore since Best Buy stopped carrying new music.)

Sorry AB, but Target hasn't in years and will never see a dime from me since they started encouraging men to use their women's restrooms.

You're totally entitled to shop where you want to, and you have every right to your own beliefs, viewpoints, etc., but that is not at all what Target is encouraging.

There are no bonus tracks whatsoever! 14 songs were written and produced and they're all on the album

That would be cool! Unfortunately nothing to that effect has been announced at this point. If not for the initial release, perhaps they could do an AB 3.5-style reissue at some point, adding some live/acoustic tracks.

You got to get them mod powers and then you can harness this ability.

It's not magic. I have respect for this site, and the band. I gave my opinion on a subject, someone argued it, I certainly have an argument that would counter theirs, but someone said hey this isn't the place, I agree, so I dropped it.

No problem.

Now how about Mark singing Broken Wings? Was that awesome or what?
