Probably the only time I have ever been interested in something Sinatra related though. We never got their North American tour from 2020 rescheduled. It was among the first tours postponed then cancelled because of covid. It's funny to see them headline over Halestorm because over here that would be the opposite. AB seem to have made a home for themselves in England haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why they're popular. Lizzy Hale has a really strong voice. She can definitely sing. The band tours like crazy too, so they're constantly out there letting people know who they are. The music isn't the greatest but they work very hard and it has payed off for them. I'm glad that in Europe Alter Bridge is more popular though. Here they usually headline venues that fit a couple thousand people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Yep, one of the only things in WWE worth watching. I love how the commentators act all shocked that Edge is a bad guy again.

Segue Myles Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Personally I think The Last Hero is a terrific album, and I don't hear anything remotely shameful or bad on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad album it's just a band going through the motions. Kind of like Blow Up Your Video from AC/DC. There's nothing wrong with the album overall, there's just nothing special going on either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like Blow Up Your Video from AC/DC. There's nothing wrong with the album overall, there's just nothing special going on either. I love the album but for me, it's where the plateaud as a band. It continues the consistency of the AB discography, but in no way improves upon anything that came before. Every album before this I feel in some way expanded upon what came before, and the album before this, Fortress, is spotless. TLH does a lot right, but doesn't offer anything new to the band's sound. But taken in isolation of everything else they have done, I adore this record. It's in my top three from this band, with ABIII and Fortress. Walk The Sky initially impressed me, but I actually find it a very bland album these days. I'm far more excited by what Tremonti is doing with his own band these days than I am AB. Still, I hope this album is great. Edited April 28, 2022 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) if i ever i heard heard a band going through the motions it's AB on TLH. It's like they got a checklist. big hook "check" Mark harmonizing nicely "check" Monster solos "check" Doublet tracked chorus of Myles "YAWWWWWWN......check" and i know mark was holding back cause.......well.....A Dying Machine.bent TLH over and made it it's bitch.

Mick I mean I guess I can agree on some points, but all the songs on TLH are fantastic. For me the downside is the production. And I don't play ADM anywhere near as much as TLH. I know it's overwrought at times, but that record I found to be such a rewarding listen, and I'm incredibly fond of it. But yeah...the production is excessive, but I feel that about all of AB's albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember all the hype beforehand that they were taking risks and what did we get? A standard AB album. AB are nothing is not consistent in the quality of their output, but for all the praise I can give the last two albums, the last time they sounded exciting was in 2013 with Fortress. That's nearly ten years ago. I still feel it they tried more dual vocals they would really add to their sound. Fans always beg for more Tremonti and Kennedy colabs vocally, the two singers are in my opinion the best in the game right now, but instead we just get a lot of impressive, but unfortunately soulless, Kennedy vocals. He is a remarkable singer but I feel he sounds really predictable now. I miss the more emotive singing of the early days, when it sounded more honest and less showing off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's predictable cookie cutter. I felt WTS ay least had some life too it. the songs are punchier they get to the point quicker. it's an hour but it feels 45 minutes to me. having said that....it ain't a patch on anything Tremonti does.

Mick I feel we both have a favourite of the last two albums, but neither are really anything new for the band. WTS has better production than TLH, but I felt the material was even more by the numbers. TLH was full throttle and I definitely get that's a flaw for some. I both love TLH a lot and find myself wishing it was better. But hey, sometimes we love the underdog albums 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
