Re: Ranking 'The Epics'

Blackbird Fortress Cry Of Achilles Words Darker Than Their Wings Fable Of the Silent Son The Last Hero This Side Of Fate I don’t really consider Dying Light an epic, it’s a really good song, but nothing stands out to put it in the same breath as the others. I know Words is borderline, but the unique...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

https://youtu.be/n9FBjovy-dE I really liked this interview. More insightful than any I've seen so far on this run. The only problem is, if they play The Other Side in Chicago, I'm walking out. Even if it's the opening song...? I'm not actually going to, I'm just going to stand there in misery while...

Re: Best and worst Alterbridge album

Blackbird and Fortress are kind of a 1a/1b situation, I think these two are the bands masterpiece albums. After that: ABIII Pawns and Kings One Day Remains The Last Hero Walk the Sky That being said, none of these are bad albums, not even WTS, which I really like. They just have so much incredible w...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Aside from the ones we’ve already heard, I’m really loving Fable, Stay, and Last Man Standing. I’m stuck at work with a pair of barely working earbuds, so I’ll form a better opinion when I can listen to this properly. I will say, the lack of effects on the vocals is different. I don’t know if it’s b...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I like the verses, and the bridge is, as usual for Alter Bridge, the best part of the song. I’m not a fan of the chorus melody, though, and the drums during the chorus kind of put me off. Other than that, I enjoy it. Pawns and Kings is superior though.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

It just reminds me of ODR lyrics, lots of religious references, and an outright mention of Gods will at the end. Mark is the religious one, I just wouldn’t imagine Myles writing something like that.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I’m enjoying the single, listened twice so far. I like the lyrics, very biblical at times, has to be written by Mark. It’s an odd blend of dark/light with heavy elements but also comes off kind of mellow at the same time. It works. Also like the throwbacks on the cover, the bridge and the little Bla...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I wouldn't even mind a decent mix of both deeply personal songs and angry political tracks if that's how Mark and Myles are truly feeling in their writing! It sounds like we're in for a heavy, proggy riff-fest! This could be AB's "...And Justice For All" and I'm all for it! ...On another,...

I wonder if this is the album cover. Not sure when we usually got covers for previous albums.

Re: Alter Bridge - VII

I’m glad we still get to hype up a new Alter Bridge record in the works…simultaneously feels like yesterday and also 100 years ago that I was getting pumped up for Blackbird on here. Can’t wait.

Re: MK II

Really dig the new song, I’m usually not the biggest fan of Myles’ stuff outside of AB other than Second Skin. Slash is not my cup of tea, but I was pleasantly surprised by this. Had a nice vibe and has me interested in the album for sure.

Re: Underrated Alter Bridge Appreciation Thread

One Day Remains is a huge favorite of mine, and it’s honestly pretty unique compared to everything else. The pure energy from the first note to the very end is amazing. Some others I think are under appreciated are Buried Alive, All Ends Well, and My Champion. I was actually down on MC when it was f...

Re: What's Next Musically for Alter Bridge? A Concept Album?

I just hope they can put out something that rivals Blackbird or Fortress. I consider these two albums to be absolute masterpieces from beginning to end, and I have faith they can do it a third time.

I keep going back to Native Son and, oddly, Tear Us Apart. There’s just something about it that I really like.

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 13

Wayward One by far. The solo is one of my favorites and the bridge is incredible.

I like The Last Hero, but it’s kind of overrated in my opinion. It’s one of those songs that while it’s an ‘epic,’ it doesn’t even come close to touching their other epics.

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 10

Gotta go with Watch Over You here. It’s in my top ten AB songs for a reason. Forever Falling is amazing but I can’t put it above WOY.

Fallout is also an underrated song.

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 08

I’m surprised TSoF is getting a handful of votes. I’m a fan of the song, but to me it sounds like one of those songs that tries to be an ‘epic,’ but instead is just a really good song that falls short of that mark. Both ‘epics’ on TLH feel that way to me. They’re in a tier of their own but definitel...

Blackbird, shockingly. They are historically awesome at Track number 8, though. Love all of these.

It’s strange, I don’t get the hate for Make It Right. I didn’t like it a ton when the album came out, but I’ve been listening to it lately and it’s pretty damn good. Nice solo too.

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 06

I think it could take track 11. I’d have to think about it vs. The End Is Here, but I’d probably vote Clear Horizon for that one. I already think Native Son should have won track 5. I also just looked at track 9, it seems to be a historically weak track number for AB. I’d honestly vote Pay No Mind o...
