Yes Muse are not very subtle and their lyrics have been quite poor for the better part of their career in my opinion!

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
I love when Muse embraces the silliness and / or goes full pop (a la 'Madness'). Hopefully that's what this record will be.
The last record had some gems on it. 'Drones,' however was not for me.

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
Good spot!
Assuming it's also a track title, do we think it's an epic or the hard and fast lead single?

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
I'd bet its an epic title track. Title tracks have had more of a history of being epics/not lead singles in the AB camp.
ODR - not epic, not lead single
Blackbird - epic, not lead single
Fortress - epic, not lead single
TLH - epic, not lead single
WTS - not epic, not lead single

Man I'm so stoked about that album title. Of course, I'm a big fan of chess so I'm biased

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
Could be two songs? One called Pawns and the other called Kings.
Re: Alter Bridge - VII
Didn't Sevendust do something like that on the album Mark and Myles appeared on?

Oh my gosh that's super exciting. I actually really dig the name and October 14 isn't far away at all. Holy crap I better start saving for a tour.SHEAKENBAKEN wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 12:41 pm Pawns & Kings is confirmed to be the new records title and will be released October 14th according to this interview with Mark.

I wonder if this is the album cover. Not sure when we usually got covers for previous albums.

I've seen that image around a couple times... I thought it was fan made based on the tour announcement.Arctic wrote: ↑Thu May 05, 2022 4:03 am https://hasitleaked.com/2022/alter-bridge-pawns-kings/

If it is the real cover, I'm not really a fan... I like that color scheme but the bird looks kinda gross.
I'm not really worried about the music itself. After really enjoying Walk The Sky, I know I'm way more excited than I am apprehensive for Pawns And Kings! Mark and Myles' last solo albums were excellent, if they kept up that kind of momentum writing new AB tunes, I'm sure they won't disappoint!
I'm guessing we'll get a single sometime in late July/early August?

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
I really hope that isn’t the album cover.
Re: Alter Bridge - VII
Doesn't look too bad imo. Gotta admit that I never really liked the album covers you can find in the AB microcosm. The Creed album covers were alle quite cringy. Sometimes, I still try to figure out what the cover of Weathered is supposed to tell me. The AB album covers were all okayish, but not too spectacular. A Dying Machine, Marching in Time and Year of the Tiger have a real cool artstyle, tho.

So ladies and gentleman, question....
Should we change the name of the thread to "Pawns and Kings" instead of Alter Bridge VII now that Mark confirmed the album title?

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
Part of me thinks the Europe tour poster is not the album cover. When the Europe tour for Walk the Sky was announced, the tour poster was way different than the album cover although it did look neat with the tightrope walker.

Re: Alter Bridge - VII
Yeah not crazy about that as a cover, I'm with Kev that it's just a tour image. Even looks something of a piece with an old Walk the Sky tour poster - https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/proje ... 2abe35.jpg
We're actually way off track with the current thread cycle, we should've moved on to the ABVII - Studio/Recording Thread by now.
