When I hear TLH back to back with one of their other albums, it's really noticable to me that the album is lacking the inspiration that the others have. No big deal overall it happens to every band at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) 13 hours ago, J2112YYZ said: Alter Bridge: Fortress The Last Hero I forgot how bland and uneventful TLH is. It's appropriate that the song Losing Patience is placed where it is because that's about the point on the album where I start to skip through songs. The album starts fine, peaks with The Other Side and then it just kind of goes blah after that. Most of these songs sound like bonus track/leftover songs. Kind of reminds me of Thirteen from Megadeth. A few pretty good songs but a lot of forgettable b-side kind of tunes. Fortress is still great though. It is so bland. i will come back to it half a year maybe. Every time i'm like ooooooooh.......thhere's really no need too. lol. Awful production. Zero passion. I can hear it through my speakers. It basically sounds like a band doing a passionless AB tribute/checklist 1. Big hook-check. 2. Overdubbed Myles-Check 3. Compressed production-Check. 4. Guitar solos-check And tremonti comes back with Dying Machine.......you can't tell e he wasn't saving the good shit and tucking it away. that album butt f***s TLH.

TheAccountant Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Bad Company - Holy Water Not a big Bad Company fan. Their ok but I don't go wild for them. That being said when I listen to this album (which is not very often) I listen to the entire albumin don't skip anything.. With 3 exceptions the songs are basically just ok and nothing more. Even those 3 songs are really nothing great. They are decent, enjoyable and solid but not great. But this is an album that is much more than the sum of its parts. Somehow when I listen to it I really enjoy it. The individual songs (with those 3 exceptions) would not do much for me. Don't dislike them but I would not go out of my way to listen to them. But together everything fits together. As I have said, Rush were masters at this. Here, Bad Company pulled it off. BTW - the 3 songs I keep mentioning are the title track, If You Needed Somebody and Boys Cry Tough. I recall when this album came out in 1990 the first 2 got some airplay and I was surprised Boys Cry Tough did not get airplay as well. Full disclosure - I saw Bad Company on tour supporting this album twice. The second show was in Albany NY and it was ok. The first time was under a festival tent in Rochester NY and Bad Company and the band they played with that day (38 Special) put on the 3rd best show I have ever seen. Just a fabulous show with Bad Company going on first and 38 Special headlining although both bands played about the same time - so they were basically co-headliners. Both groups were awesome. Just magic. That being said, I already had this album before the show and already had come to the conclusion that I could not skip a song on it. Glad to hear that my feelings have not changed 30 years latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire time I have been alive, Alice Cooper has always been a solo artist. As big of a fan as I am, I have never once thought of it as a group. Even when I listen to the albums they played on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Damn Yankees - Damn Yankees This album has 3 big hits on it (Coming Of Age, High Enough & Come Again) which I always crank up when I hear them on the radio. The rest of the album I have not listed to for a long time. Pulling it out of the moving box and listening to the entire album reminded me why I don't often listen to it. Those 3 songs are wonderful. The rest of it - forget about it. None of the other songs do anything for me. I will stick to listening to those 3 songs and just them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the fact that you can play a Taylor Swift album followed by an Iron Maiden album and love them equally. Music has never been one genre. I'm sad I will never live long enough to appreciate it all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
