i first heard of this band from ozzfest dvd . i liked the one song. the rest of the album is not that good. i thought the rest of the album would be as good. i was wrong only two good songs. i was disappointed.
THIS GAVE ME A HUGE!HUGE! METAL HARD ON WHEN IT FIRST BRUSHED BY ME IN A FIREY FORCE OF TREMONTI. I PLUNGED DEEP INTO A HAIRY CAVERN OF LUST!! I COULD'NT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SWEET TASTEY STUFF.DEEPER>>>DEEPER>>>> I PUSHED TO GET JUST A LITTLE MORE...........I CAME........I HAD COME!!!! MY HEAD WAS SPINNING. ALL I KEPT THINKING WAS..........ALTER BRIDGE ..........ALTER BRIDGE!!!!!
I call them survivors because the destruction of any type of "family" necessarily leaves victims and survivors. Luckily for us, these survivors, with the addition of Myles Kennedy on vocals, have turned out a beautiful CD. Favorites are Broken Wings and Open Your Eyes. There are still a few echoes of Creed but all the songs on this CD are terrific. Their next CD Blackbird, which I also have, is clearly their own. I highly recommend that you buy both CDs.
I loved just about every song on this cd. There is one that I think could have had a better melody during the verse, but the rest was just awesome. I love the CD by Alter Bridge- BLACKBIRD- so I wanted to hear their first release and didn't think it would compare, but it is great. These guys are definitely my favorite band ever.
I had a hard time trying to figure out which band I liked better, Alter Bridge or Creed. The moment I knew the answer was when I poped in a Creed CD and listened to it right after I had just finished listening to Alter Bridge. Alter Bridge is honestly lightyears ahead of Creed. And this is coming from a die hard Creed fan! The guitar and the music altogether is more complicated and sounds better than any other band, including Creed. The vocals are a bit better, but not clearer. Some songs are hard to understand before you listen to them a few times. But, the person who out does himself is Mark Tremonti. His song writing and guitar solos are taken to a level I doubt he even knew existed. Creed and many other bands are great, but pale in comparison to Alter Brige.
This CD is amazing. The extreme vocals of Myles Kennedy and the amazing guitar riffs of Mark Tremonti makes this CD the favorite CD in my collection. If you are looking for the best example of current rock and roll with real guitar solos and tons of energy, this is the perfect CD. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys music.
