Cool and distinctive title.

Good thing they didn't call it "Four-tress" ;)

I'm really excited to see the track list. All the names we've had so far are very interesting! Michael said we'd get the track list too, so I guess he's not spilling everything yet ;)

Yeah, but The Waters Rise isn't confirmed.

Ah I see. My bad. Sounds like a cool title though if it is one of them.

I asked Michael on twitter, but he hasn't answered yet. Probably won't..

I'm intrigued by the title 'All Ends Well'.. It's really one of the most uplifting AB titles so far, I think (though it implies that something bad preceeded). It also reminds me of Shakespeare's work 'All's Well That Ends Well'.

I was thinking it was talking about a well in the fortress that they nicknamed all ends. Hmm

I thought that too. Makes me think this track is towards the end before the closer, similar to how they had Life Must Go On.

Yea! That's possible. At first I thought it was going to be the closer.

Another thing I like: Bleed It Dry is supposed to have the Gilmour like solo, right? It's also descibed as one of the most heaviest AB tracks yet. That should be an interesting combination!

The track names are VERY interesting, they clearly illustrate a very different theme and style for Alter Bridge.
