Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
No, but I don't care - the overall song is fantastic. I've never had a single go this long without getting stale for me. Probably ready to say it's my favorite lead single they've ever done *braces for crucifixion*

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Ok, took me awhile but obligatory commentary on Fable: It's so freaking cool when he sings "like a phoenix rising..." that the notes descend and then ascend. No way that wasn't intentional, really nice touch. How good does Flip sound on this song?? :cloud9 So unfortunate that his voice is ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Man I love Holiday. It's so cool that Myles took what was supposed to be one of his solo songs and AB-ified it. There are little hints throughout the song where you can tell it had bluesy/folk rock origins. I'm guessing it explains the weird intro too - probably made more sense in it's original form...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
In case anyone wants to take a pause from Fable for a moment…
I think I remember reading somewhere back that Dead Among the Living was meant to be a Come To Life type song. But I think it sounds more like Last of Our Kind/Symphony of Agony. Like… A LOT. Almost like an improved version.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
People on TABN are praising Elvis’s production. If that isn’t a sign of the apocalypse I don’t know what is

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Anyone else feel a hint of melancholy mixed up in all of the excitement when AB release an album? Might sound a bit hokey, but there’s something about the consistent three year period between albums that makes each one feel like a stop alongside a long road. I’m 33 currently but playing the shit ou...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THIS IS WAR BEFORE FULL ALBUM RELEASE. WHAT A TREAT! Just finished my first listen of the whole album and damn, so much to unpack here, will have to spread out my thoughts over the coming weeks. A few overall points: Plenty of unnecessary Myles layering like always......

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Oh man, I haven't been on here in weeks for a variety of reasons, shocking to think right before an album release but I'm caught up now and am LOVING all the posted interviews/reviews and general hype! This is War is the first time I was able to resist listening to a pre-release single - no idea how...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Just wait until they perform it live, you'll see. Guarantee you the secondary vocals in the chorus are Mark.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
This is a really interesting song, but it is my least favorite of the 3 so far. Love the overall vibe and the chugging of the main riff, but the higher legato stuff after that throws me off. I think it will grow on me over time though. Really surprised to see how hard a time people are having pickin...

Re: Compromise!
I'll listen to the song once just to get the flavor of it and to have some context for all the commentary here, but there are still so many nuances and lyrics and little parts that I miss altogether or don't remember from just one listen that the song will still sound fresh enough when the album co...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Controversial opinion: I like the P&K single artwork much more than the album artwork.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Music videos have never been their thing, so I don't get too worked up about them one way or the other. I agree the animation doesn't really fit at all, but by itself it's cool and I respect them for trying something different. More importantly, the video was an excuse for me to hear the song a seco...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Are my ears broken? Not only do I really like the song, I could hear a fair amount of backing vox from Mark and thought Myles sounded good. I can't say anyone's opinion is wrong but it's frustrating when it feels like I'm listening to a completely different song that everyone else. tl;dr - Great lea...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Well well well, how's that for timing? Silver Tongue debuting on Octane and I never have a Sirius XM subscription.... except for the next few months since I just got a new car :peace Of course I will be listening once (ok maybe twice) when it drops and then not again until album release day, but cou...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I don't give a s*** what radio DJ's think. This band makes amazing music that makes my life better. I want the guys to be successful but ultimately how popular AB is makes no difference to me as long as the music is this good.
