So I was wondering why "If Not For You" has so many dislikes on YT. Okay, it's not much, but 1% dislikes is slightly higher than the common YT video has. Turns out, the music video is placed as an ad on YT by Napalm records. Quite cool in my opinion.

A Dying Machine is really considered as "epic"?

From my perspective yes, because it's the title track of that record and at the time of release it was the longest song of Tremonti's solo discography. The dynamics in the song from the way the verses and chorus and especially bridge are sung also lends the song an "epic" feel IMO. But clearly "epic" is an opinion/perspective based title :lol :shrug So if someone does/doesnt consider a song to be epic then that's okay. :shrug

Eh. I like it well enough I guess. It does look away from what I look to Tremonti for as a band. This is more AB 2.0 territory.

A Dying Time becomes epic during the bridge, but I agree the beginning ot the song isn't epic at all.

A song in 6/8 with fingerpicked verses, anthemic choruses and an extended bridge. Can't get more epic than that in AB universe.

We could make a drinking game out of this thread. Take a drink every time you see the word... epic.

I don’t care for it much either. I’m pretty shocked actually by how well it’s being received. Pretty underwhelmed by both songs so far. But Trivium may have spoiled me with their latest single and everything just pales by comparison…idk… The mix sounds atrocious btw

"epic" is such an overused word (especially around here beginning with michael's use of it regarding blackbird in 2006-07) but if this song isn't epic, nothing is

maybe a top 5 tremonti song for me when all is said and done, including all of his bands / projects

I don't think I've ever heard a song with this exact structure. That's pretty cool.

Nice! So a mixture of singles and live performances leading up to the album release to (try but inevitably fail to) keep our appetites satiated!

I like this approach better than releasing all the songs instead!

Clean acoustic parts and heavy riffing parts, tempo and signature changes. Give E-Rock an extended bluesy guitar solo front and center before the Tremonster melts our faces. Of course I'd like to hear Mark attempt that gorgeous falsetto we heard at the end of Trust.
Put ALL of the pieces together to close out perhaps Tremonti's best yet.
holy shit, you called it
