Sometimes I feel like the track listing for an album doesn't capture the right feel. It buries some key songs in the latter half, doesn't start or end with enough energy, or its bonus track(s) are better than some of the main album songs.
I revamped the track listings for four Alter Bridge albums. I didn't do Blackbird because I really didn't know what to do with the closer (none of the songs really have a strong ending), and I didn't do Fortress because I think it's fine the way it is.

Re: Alternate track listings for the albums
Lots of members thought Clear Horizon belong behind One Life. I've tried it and I sort of see it, but I think I see it as a later song.
Re: Alternate track listings for the albums
The only album order which I can recall disagreeing with at all was Walk the Sky. I really hate One Life as an opener. I think In the Deep would have made a much better opener. They could have done almost anything after that.

Re: Alternate track listings for the albums
I don't like One Life as an opener either. But, I wanted to keep the same number of songs as on the original album.
The intro of In The Deep makes for a good opener, but the song as a whole isn't characteristic of their best album openers (Slip To The Void, Cry Of Achilles, Show Me A Leader). Honestly, none of the songs on the album are.

They should have extended the synthy intro to 'Walking on the Sky' and made that the opening track.

Re: Alternate track listings for the albums
Good idea, but a little too slow to be the opening track. Plus, then there wouldn't be anything epic to close the album because I wish Dying Light wasn't part of the main album.

Re: Alternate track listings for the albums
No, it's not ideal, but I think it's the best option they had. Wouldn't You Rather, for me, isn't much better than Show Me a Leader which I particularly dislike and the opening portion One Life... I've never been a big fan of that kind of intro. Get to the music! They did at least make it it's own track so it can easily be skipped... but I also hate skipping!maximzub wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 9:32 amI don't like One Life as an opener either.
