Re: Mark about a Creed reunion

I think it's very silly and selfish for any Creed fan to wish Mark back into a dysfunctional, still widely-derided band. Would I buy a new Creed record? Would I go see them in concert? Absolutely. Would be quite a rush of nostalgia. Mark is a GREAT dude and it really rubs me the wrong way when I se...

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

Reminds me of Devin Townsend who is also very vocal about ‘seeing’ music as colors. It's not so much colors for me as it is having a screen or a club in my mind. I can relive moments, events, visualize music videos that don't exist - with my eyes wide open. It's a constant. It's why music videos we...

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

The vastness of the human experience blows my mind. Didn't fully come into perspective for me until early this year when I learned about hyperphantasia. Which I have, and suddenly so much of my life and tastes made more sense. It's synesthesia-adjacent. Here's a NYT piece on it: https://archive.ph/...

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

Stay : Nothing has changed. I'm starting to think that I like Mark's current voice better than Myles's current voice. I don't know how popular of an opinion that is around here. 10/10 Fable Of The Silent Son : No. No. Just no. 2/10 I have to single those parts out and say: wow. :D Tastes can be so ...

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

I could totally hear "This Is War" on the new Muse album. And I'm unsure if that's a compliment or not because I like that record but it's arguably Muse at their most self-parodic. (Which is my favorite version of Muse, but I'm not sure it works as the lead track here. I think "Silver...

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

Third listen (ratings inherently personal and bound to change): This Is War - 7/10 (new to me, I like it, but feels a bit underdeveloped) Dead Among The Living - 6.5/10 (not something I'd skip but it hasn't captured me yet) Silver Tongue - 8.5/10 (hadn't listened in over a month but this thing still...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I usually looooove AB ballads (You Will Be Remembered aside lol) but Stay is not connecting. I'm not hearing a hook, like at all. What am I missing?

Title track took a few listens to click back in July though. And now I super dig it.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Only one listen so far but I'd only heard Silver Tongue and the title track. I like it! Mark and the guys always seem to hit me at exactly where I am in life (out of all their songs, All Ends Well is probably the one that helped get me through the last decade the most) and now on the other side of t...

i'm coming from the place of having *been* that person (many years ago - blackbird period) who would post the same complaint over and over again and was rightfully called out on it which would only make me double down because i was a stubborn jerk and thought my opinions were just that important lma...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Well, nothing has changed, why would we stop? patently false elvis has upped his game since 'the last hero' (which i think many fans agree is the weakest ab record and the hardest on the ears) now, mark's vocals being buried on 'forever falling?' not great, but 'marching in time' was a significant ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Not gonna comment on the song itself, but how are you liking the production guys? I personally can't hear a single thing and the whole mix is absolutely slammed, reminds me of my own mixes. The difference is, this dude does it professionally for the living. i've been critical of elvis in the past b...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

somehow i managed to not listen to 'silver tongue' or the title track this month AND suppressed the urge to peep 'sin after sin' was busy finishing my own album, which helped lmao but only 2 weeks until a new ab record, 80% of which i haven't heard (the other 20% of which i adore) so that's really e...
