Peace Is Broken Talk
Peace Is Broken is an awesome song because:
- the intro bass line reminds me of Flatley's Crutch from TMF4
- The speedy guitar riffing here is just..... wow. Doge approves.
- The Myles/Mark duet style is just plain awesomeness, as we've heard before on WDTTW
- The bridge. Omfg. Dat Mark vocals.
- Am I the only one that thinks PIB would make the best next single?
Just thought PIB needed some uplifting words, as it's kinda become the song that is no-one's favorite.
Your thoughts on PIB?

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
Yeah, what are you, some sort of thread starter? Just kidding man.
But about PiB, that's probably one of my top 5 songs I'd love to hear live. I think after we all hear it live or see a live video somewhere, we'll appreciate the song a little bit more.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
Well, it's my favorite but I'm a nobody.
You left out the meaningful lyrics. Not atypical for Alter Bridge or Myles but probably my favorite version of the theme.
Myles talked in an interview a while back about this being a deeply personal song so add some love for that.
And yes, I love the duet sections.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
One of my personal favorites on the album. I think this is Marks best performance on the album with vocals and "dat riff". My favorite chorus by far. Solo is very melodic and screams of Marks signature style Solo. Would be incredible live
Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
Peace Is Broken is awesome, I love it! It's got awesome riffs, vocals and the bridge is off the hook, one of the best by AB!

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
I agree with C3. My favorite part is that melodic solo at the end of the song. One of my album highlites.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
First time I heard it I thought "this song is pretty good" until I hit the bridge and every hair on my head stood on end. Its among the top 3 on that album for me.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
What about Scott's drums in the song? Those are some killer drums. Pretty much everything else awesome about the song has been said so I guess all I can do is say and and
Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
Elvis finally got the vocal effect perfected for Myles in the bridge. He failed in the past (come to life).
And Marks tone is enormous throughout the whole song. I dig it

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
The riff is so enormous. I'm still not entirely sold on the chorus and bridge though- which I realize makes no sense to the majority.
I think I still prefer Cry A River (Getting trigger happy on the blasphemy).

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
I'm warming up to Cray A River a bit over time. But I agree to disagree with you on the Peace Is Broken chorus. It's not the most anthemic, but it's not bad.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
Yeah, I don't think it's bad really- not sure why it doesn't grab me. I know i'm definitely in the minority.
One thing I just noticed about that chorus though, is the crazy high harmony that Myles has over the top. It's buried way way in the mix, but it's awesome. Wish it was more in the forefront.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
I like the song. The riff is very strong and I love the bridge. The chorus doesn't do it for me though. I think it's too pretty, compared to the intro and verse riffs.

The chorus is my least favorite part of the song, it just doesn't grab my attention like everything else. The bridge may be my favorite on the albumTimotheus wrote:I like the song.

Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
^ Lol it's probably my favorite chorus in the album. The verses are the weakest part of the song, imo. I listen to it for the chorus and the bridge.
Or boyfriend...whatever you prefer.
I will say that I had extremely high hopes for this song after I heard the original preview of the riff. I was hoping for a song like that, something really heavy. The riff in the intro and verses held up, but the chorus was a little bit of a letdown. Not that the song has a bad chorus, it's a good one, but it just doesn't fit the vibe the song gives when that opening riff punches you in the face and steals your girlfriend.
Re: Peace Is Broken Talk
I'm surprised that they've yet to play this one live - especially since Mark said on Twitter that the riff is his favourite from the album.
