bacardimayne Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Myles is perfect. The one thing people hold against him is what I love (that he isn't a screaming sweaty rock douche). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I'd be interested to hear how this album compares to the last Alterbridge release.... Better or worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguyen92 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I'd be interested to hear how this album compares to the last Alterbridge release.... Better or worse?I'm very bias when it comes to Alter Bridge, and, in essence, World On Fire is not better than Fortress. That said, it's still really good and I can't really compare it to an AB album or anything else or else it kills any potential enjoyment I may have. I fell into that trap during AL.

axl666 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I don't know how anyone can actively dislike this. The songs are generally very good and melodic. A lot better than apocalyptic love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentonneskeleton Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 listening to it in full for the first time... not really liking Battleground or Beneath the Savage Sun, but everything else kicks ass so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) With 17 seconds part of me wishes there should have been a slower epic song. Something like Gotten or messages and to a lesser extent Fall to Peices. Something slower, serious with standout guitar solos.If I had to pick 3 songs I'd like to hear live it would be30 Years to LifeWicked StoneWithered DelilahI think if I heard Bent To Fly live I'd think it would be Anastasia due to the similar intro's.

Turn_It_Up Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) The album delivers on everything Todd promised.To me, this is very much like a debut album. I've been on the fence with Myles(and therefore, the Conspirators), liking him but feeling his voice extremely hit or miss on Slash material and better suited for AB. But thoroughly impressed hearing this and would be hard pressed to think of a better singer for Slash going forward. The guy clearly has the chops and this material , a result of the entire band's growth, is a big evolution from AL. Has completely changed my thoughts on the longevity of the band.Myles shares Slash's work ethic which is a huge plus and ensures us of a new record every 2-3 yrs. My only nitpick left with Myles is there are some really strong tracks that would be absolute monsters with a slightly better chorus(Withered Delilah, for example). But as said, that's a nitpick. Elvis may be the key to getting the best of Myles(and Slash?), so hoping he stays on as producer for at least the next record.

skik08 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Lol, Dirty Girl is my new favourite of the album. 'Can't wait to see her. You just won't believe it. The things she does.' What a great journey this album is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Wicked Stone FTW.Just pumped it up loud. Wow. Needs to be played at every gig. Last 2 mins just pure rock. Wicked Stone is the best tune from this album. (for me) Nothing quite as good as Anastasia or By The Sword, but as a whole, it is a very varied album. It offers great riffs, badass solos, and more interesting song structures. Something that was lacking in previous Slash led albums. I like it. I like it a lot.

Gibbo Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I guess im not as big of a fan of Anast as most people, love the guitar work and solo just dont like myles on it. Id rather listen to Halo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsprettytiedup Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Am I the only one that thinks Battleground is the best of the album? Battleground, Withered Delilah or Too Far Gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuddMckagan Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Battleground is a lot different to what I thought it would be. Still good though.Really enjoying the album so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Listening to it again. Nope, still a pink jeans job. Wicked Stone is nice though; I like the way it changes key. Imagine if you stuck Izzy in there to add some songwriting. Slash needs a good songwriter to collaborate with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner55 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Slash recently did a phone interview with a local radio station I'm winnipeg here. Couple weeks ago. Hinted at coming here in the spring. I'm half way through the album, I can't fucking wait till he comes through town again. This is a very solid album. Very impressed.

magisme Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Battleground is a lot different to what I thought it would be. Still good though.Only listened to the album once so far, but I agree. I didn't even think it was a close call, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I still find Bent to Fly one of the best of the album. Myles voice is perfect in that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
