Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
I went with 8. It's growing on me with more listens. The chorus is stuck in my head, it's catchy. I like the fact Myles starts with a 1:30 solo and Mark ends it with a 1:30 solo. Pretty neat idea, especially since their styles are different.
I would have picked a different lead single and marked my sheet as such at the listening party though.
At the end of the day I'm just happy to have Alter Bridge back!

Got an 8 from me, too. 10 is reserved for masterpieces like Blackbird, Words and Show Me A Sign (I love it that much), 9 is for songs that are really close to perfect, such as Lover or Waters Rising, so 8 means it's a damn great song that I really enjoy.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
I was undecided between 7 and 8, but this is definitely a grower, so I went with 8. Loving the full version, I have been listening to it a lot since last afternoon.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
On the grand scale of Alter Bridge songs... It sits for me at a comfortable 7
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
This might change, but right now, a 6 for me.

Too soon to rate.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Full version 8.5 radio version 6.
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Solid 8 for me. Now the full version is out the radio edit is redundant to me. I think I'm one of the few that never heard the CoA edit either...and that's not about to change!
Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
relative to what, other AB songs? Or other songs in general? Because those are 2 very different numbers.

Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
I'd give it 7.5 if I could. I like it a lot and I think it's an amazing opener, but 8 really is too much. If the lyrics were a bit more unique, the song had a better solo and the song was mixed better I'd given it an 8.
So a 7 it is, which is still pretty high in my voting system.

Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
I'm giving it an 8 as well. That's based on the question "how much do you like it?" Not how does it compare to other music, other rock songs, other AB tracks, etc.
The chorus is surprisingly catchy, to the point where it keeps repeating in my head. The intro is bombastic and awesome. The solos are shining examples of Myles's and Mark's capabilities. The pause in the chorus gives the song a unique flavor. And overall the song flows really well.
The only things keeping it from being a 10 are the bridge (which is too similar to the rest of the song and generally unremarkable) and the overuse of overdubbed harmonies throughout the recording.

Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Great intro, love how much Myles there is in that intro. The no-ohs in the chorus are somewhat annoying after a while, but I tune it out sometimes . Marks solo is great but could have been more creative than just super fast shredding.
Lyrics: 9/10 - Don't really care what he sings about but I took a point off for the no-ohs
Instruments: 7/10 Love the instruments, but the song could have benefited from some cut and paste riffs, IMO.
Vocals: 8/10 - Could have just a bit more Mark in there.
Overall: 24/30 (8/10)

Before Myles started singing I was like "woah, this is at least 9/10 song". Kill me but Myles really does sound whiney this time.

8/10.
Very catchy song and feels complete. Can't compare it to the radio version since I never listened to it.

Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
are some of the background lyrics Myles dubbed over Myles? I'm not criticizing - it sounds amazing. I'm just curious how they do studio vs. live.

Re: How much do you like "Show Me a Leader"
Yes there seems to be a lot of Myles harmonizing with Myles on this song. Live they might have Mark do it or not do it at all.PRS10Top wrote:are some of the background lyrics Myles dubbed over Myles? I'm not criticizing - it sounds amazing. I'm just curious how they do studio vs. live.

I like the video with lyrics that the band just put up on YouTube.
