Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Hey all,
I thought this might be an interesting poll. Apologies if it has been done before.
Now the dust has started to settle somewhat on Walk The Sky, I just wondered where it currently ranks for people when pitted against Myles and Mark's recent solo escapades.
Personally I think I might like A Dying Machine a bit more than Walk the Sky and Year of the Tiger, but it's certainly a close one.
This being an Alter Bridge forum, it's likely that Walk the Sky will top the poll. Although I'm intrigued to see how it all turns out.
PS - Hope everyone is well amidst all of this Coronavirus craziness.

Damn. This is tough. Year Of The Tiger comes in 3rd... A real toss-up betweem ADM and WTS!
Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
I would probably rank them ADM > WTS > YOTT.
I loved Myles’ solo album but I didn’t give it as many listens as the other two. ADM has tons of strong songs and is just really solid from top to bottom.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
My ranking is Walk the Sky then Year of the Tiger by a slight margin and then A Dying Machine last. Granted, all of these albums are at least great and all brings something different to the table while maintaining the characteristics of the main composers. I think these albums (in the short time period it was released in) are a solid testament to Mark and Myles' abilities as musicians and songwriters.

Re: Walk the Tiger is my answer.
Dando it's way too late for me to be thinking critically! Great thread idea!
Right off the bat, and I realize this might be controversial, but A Dying Machine is out (sorry, Shea!). For whatever reason I never got into Mark's solo band except for Cauterize. The rest of the albums don't really do much for me.
Between Walk the Sky and Year of the Tiger, it's really tough. I've spent a lot of time listening to both in serious depth, I love them both. Year of the Tiger was not the solo album I was expecting out of Myles, but it really hit me and I love it. It might be my favourite album that Myles has ever been apart of. Walk the Sky is my second favourite Alter Bridge album behind Fortress, I rate it very highly as well.
My 2:00AM brain says Year of the Tiger. But I do wonder if I sat down and looked at both albums really closely, comparing the highs and lows, that answer might change. Considering we also got Living the Dream in 2018, we've gotten some really awesome music the last two years.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
It’s really hard to compare YOTT to the other two because the styles are so different and I just like hard rock more than the style of YOTT. There are some things about YOTT that are much better than the other 2, but presuming it comes down to what I listen to the most, I voted for Walk The Sky as my favorite of the 3.
Another photobucket casualty...

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
To me there isn't a clear winner, but I think Year Of The Tiger has the most songs that I absolutely love.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Walk the Sky
Year of the Tiger
A Dying Machine
The top level of all of them is sublime (Walking on the Sky, Love Can Only Heal and Desolation in particular), but I think Walk the Sky edges it overall. Year of the Tiger is so satisfying though.

For all of the hope that it brings...

ADM by a long distance, so much better
Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
A Dying Machine
Walk the Sky
Year of the Tiger
Year of the Tiger has an all-time favorite song of mine in Love Can Only Heal. It’s actually my favorite song between these three albums. Unfortunately the record doesn’t sound more like that particular song, otherwise it would top the list.
And A Dying Machine never had to grow on me. It still hits the same way it did when they dropped it two years ago, and I love it.
While Walk the Sky has some fantastic tracks, to me the lows of the record (Tear Us Apart) drag the record down.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Though one because I think ADM has better songs in general but I think Walk The Sky resonates better to me.
YOTT is not a great album in my opinion.

Dunno how anyone on this forum can skip over "Dust", "Betray Me, "Catching Fire", and "Never Wrong" and not feel compelled to bang thy head in glee.Inconquerable wrote:For whatever reason I never got into Mark's solo band except for Cauterize.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Year of the Tiger is by far the best project Myles has been a part of since Blackbird for me. The album is beautifully written.
A dying machine has 2 songs that i listen to.
Not a fan of Walk the sky except again, maybe a couple of songs. Good riffs , good skill, but it just isn't an album I have been able to enjoy.

Over thinking, over analyzing, separates my body from my mind..
Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
This was a real toss up for me between ADM and WTS
ADM
WTS
YOTT
I love all three of these albums, but ADM has more playthroughs in my CD player than any of the 3.
WTF is a close second though, as it's one of my favorite albums any of the guys have put out.
YOTT was a really special album for me. It came out right after my grandfather died, but it has not aged as well with me as I think it should have.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Walk The Sky is on par with every other Alter Bridge album baring Blackbird (Slightly below) and The Last Hero (better than). I've rated all of ODR, ABII, Fortress and WTS at 91%, with BB at 93 and TLH at 89%
YOTT is a good album as a whole but only a few of the songs are strong individually enough to compare to the AB catalog. And A Dying Machine was decent just not amazing but I prefer Myles on vocals to Mark.

Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
Tough decision between WTS and ADM, but I think I’ll have to go with WTS
Re: Poll - Walk the Sky vs A Dying Machine vs Year of the Tiger.
I like Walk the Sky, don’t get me wrong... But I’m surprised it’s beating out ADM. I thought ADM was a much better record as a whole.
