eye2eye Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/uk-exclusive-hear-the-new-alter-bridge-album-right-here/ much better then anything Slash has released with Myles the weak point is Myles on this album, just like on Slash's albumsI think his vocals really suit this kind of music and he has some amazing vocals through Fortress. I think it's about personal taste, he just sounds out of place with Slash and you can tell he's much more inspired here and his guitar playing is awesome as well.

eye2eye Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It is probably album of the year for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 i listened to the new record yesterday. not real keen on this type of music generally, the whole alternative metal thing isn't necessarily to my taste, but i do like this band a lot more than some of their peers, they seem to transcend the label a bit. i think myles' voice works pretty well for their sound, and i'll have to give it another spin, but i thought it was a pretty good record.

wfuckinga Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Blackbird is their best albumBlackbird is a cool song, but I think their best album is ABIII. I haven't listend to Fortress yet, I'm waiting for it to be released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Only listened to the whole album once so far, but right now I'd say it's my second favorite after "Blackbird", really good record and can't wait to see them live in November.

Raz0r Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I listen to half the new record yesterday. I found it a little heavier than their other albums, which I dug. But so far none of the songs really grabbed me. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Beast Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I expected more speed in this album,good riffs and solos from tremonti ,good vocals from myles but i bored from mid tempo rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangelus Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Loving this album, Cry Of Achilles and Fortress are both IMMENSE songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye2eye Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I love this album they really improved in every aspect - songs are more diverse and complicated and are not overstuffed with forced huge choruses, solos are better and rythm section is on fire. Loving almost every song and Myles is awesome in Alter Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallex78 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Fortress has been out in Australia since last week, and I love it.It's probably their heaviest album to date, the riffing and soloing is really stepped up a level. Myles vocals are pretty damn good too, and the production is huge as always.It's mixed very well to my ears and sounds good cranked up on my car stereo!Favourites so far are Cry of Achilles, Bleed It Dry, The Uninvited, and Calm The Fire, but the whole album is really strong.

DieselDaisy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There is a free disc in this month's Classic Rock Magazine which is basically, an Alter Bridge greatest hits; well most of the hits are live and it also features two-three songs from the new album. I had never heard them before but judging from that, they seem pretty decent. I am however one of the few who likes Myles's voice (in relation to Slash)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eye2eye Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That funny thing because I totally love Myles voice in Alter Bridge it suits AB music and Tremonti guitar playing and I hate Myles singing with Slash (apart from couple of songs) because it feels boring and uninspired. DieselDaisy is there a chance for you to write what songs are on that free disk and which one are live as I'm thinking about buying this Classic Rock if the collection is good enough !

merces Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I must say the new album grows on me with every listen, and as previously mentioned Fortres and Cry of Achilles really stand out as tracks, although they both don't top Blackbird (the song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it time!Didn't catch them on the most recent tour either - was so disappointed by them when they recorded the live DVD at Wembley I felt I needed a break from seeing them!

I've seen them enough times that they recognize me now. lol. such an amazing band and I'm more than happy to go see them whenever htey're in the area. great group of musicians and a great group of guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nGeylCqJLQCool little radio station gig I attended a few years back. I wish I could find the full show including the Q&A. When the host asked Myles about recording a new album with Slash (which turned out to be AL),I was the only person who clapped and yelled out "YEAH SLASH!" The video I posted is Rise Today from that show. Later that night I saw them play a full electric set at The Town Ballroom in Buffalo,NY.
