8 on the AB scale for me. The radio edit was about a 4 or 5, but the intro makes it a great AB song.
Yay, I'm winning!

Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
7 tops for me. I like it, but after the new rubs off, it'll be a middle of the pack AB song for me. Just a gut feeling.

9/10 based on the full version.The intro is stellar i think the chorus is addictive Myles just soars in this and awesome guitar solo nuff said
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
I went a solid 7. Good single, average in their general song catalogue ranking.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Poop. I accidentally clicked 10. I wanted to choose 8. I really like this song. Initially I was like.. mehhhhh. Myles sounds a little Slashy for my liking but that into solo is just too good to ignore. The more I listen the move I've grown to appreciate it.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
I rated 7. But now I would go with 8. The intro gives a lot to the song, furthermore it really is a grower.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
^ Well it looks like Merinda and Mr. Slash basically offset either other, so we're good!
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Yeah? Why is that I wonder. I think his Slash style is easier for him to reproduce, it's just a touch thin compared to his AB vocals in the past.Myles sounds a little Slashy for my liking
It's amazing what a good intro can do for a song. I thought the radio edit was gash, there was just no occasion to it but the full version is like a completely different song. I give the full version 7.5, maybe 8 on a good day. It's got good pace and the guitars are awesome. The pauses don't ruin the flow imo and add an element of individuality. Another .5 if the vocals were a bit richer, but in fairness the sound on the track is probably pretty close to how the live version will sound so it's realistic I suppose.
Really looking forward to this album. I'm expecting good variety. Fortress had a number of A* tracks but there were a few that I could take or leave which is rare for me cos I'm a fanboi.

Agreed. My beef with itViolent Corpse wrote:Before Myles started singing I was like "woah, this is at least 9/10 song". Kill me but Myles really does sound whiney this time.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Well, Myles will probably never sound as powerful and low as on AB III and the older records. Sadly.facelessman07 wrote:Agreed. My beef with itViolent Corpse wrote:Before Myles started singing I was like "woah, this is at least 9/10 song". Kill me but Myles really does sound whiney this time.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
He sounded just as good as he ever did on all of Fortress. I don't see why he would suddenly sound bad on this record.
