Official "The Last Hero" Thread (pre-release discussion)

[Jim]

Ya know what, after so long... I'm just glad we get SOMETHING. I'm happy to enjoy what we have right now, and as AB23 said... 7 minutes of what is looking like an hour+ of music is okay with me

[gbruin]

Show Me A Leader should be a perfect show opener.

[poshisjarker]

Is anyone else in love with what Mark does in the verse of Cradle to the Grave? This little bend, I mean.

YES i'm a huge fan of little halfnote bends

[benjoAB]

Some of it just sounds like tremonti (the band) with Myles singing, have a few more listens yet though! Probably just overwhelmed and pissing my pants to think straight to be honest!

[zazthespaz]

I liked Cradle, Crows and a few of the last, but I gotta notice Island of Fools sounds MEAN AF I love it!
The rest though I'm no impressed with but honestly I prefer not being impressed by previews.

I remember turning to Greg at the listening party during IOF and saying it was nasty (in a heavy sense). I don't normally like the heavy metal sound but they nail it.

[Jim]

Crows is gonna be 'the one'.. You heard it here first

[pokefan_4]

that "The Other Side" riff though....... so mean

[pokefan_4]

also.. I'm so glad that this album doesn't sound like Fortress from these snippets... Getting back to the Blackbird sound...

[One Drew Remains]

Exactly, Greg. Sounds like an opener. Can't wait for Tulsa in october (day after the release). Might get to hear some of these live before everyone else (SMAL excluded, of course).

[gbruin]

Myles sounds so good.

[pokefan_4]

Island of Fools really stood out to me as well....

[willy5150]

PLEASE just take my money now. 3 times through, and I'm really liking it.

[Stuzz]

I'd have to say, Cradle to the Grave is my most hyped track, that preview was awesome, loving that clean Tremonti guitar.

[Ubik]

This is like Lent, except worse.

[gbruin]

This is like Lent, except worse.

Poor Ubik.

Myles would tell you not to deny yourself, you know.

[One Drew Remains]

I'm loving that we're hearing Myles play slide for the first time since the BB album (Cradle).

[ToNsOFuN88]

speaking of that do y'all remember before ABIII when I pretended like I had the leaked album 2 weeks before it came out and I was live-posting and I had like 5 pages worth of reactions before you guys learned I was trolling

lol good times. Don't let that hamper your judgement here though

Please don't mess with me! That's my birthday and it will be the greatest gift. Plus I'm going to the shoe the next day, so it would be awesome if they played it live!

Awww most of you guys are such metal virgins (well I'm gonna call it like that at least) that it's really cute to me. It's good to hear AB embracing their "nasty" side as you say, I've been waiting to hear more of that.

[matt19]

Cannot wait! Really looking forward to My Champion

[One Drew Remains]

Definately plenty to like here. I hear at least 4 tracks that I absolutely love, and several more that are still amazing. Wasn't letting myself get as excited as Fortress, but I just may have to.
