I agree here. The first half I did and do enjoy, but felt like the chorus and 2nd half of the song was absolutely legendary, and I hope it carries this track to new heights for Alter Bridge, because I am blown away. I can't stop hitting repeat!
I had listened to the song prior to watching your video (in my car on the way home from work). I swear to God I almost had to pull over when the 2nd half of the song started playing. So watching your reaction to the first half change just like mine did was so telling of this song. It's one that grows on you for sure. I've listened to it 10 times now. HELL, I paused your video and went and listened to it again before I came back to finish watching you. It fucking hits strong!
It's almost unfair to expect someone to take in all the elements of this on a first lesson. I love the multi dynamics... production sound Unreal through my headphones. I've had my 7th listen now. Such a strong first release for the Album. I'm excited
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 agree mate. In no way is this a complaint re your review. I've always enjoyed them, even though I sometimes don't agree...that happens. Because of your reviews I've discovered stuff I never would of listened to, so thanks mate 👌
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 fine, well I'll give it to you the next one then 😉 Btw, I'm thinking full album review of Pawns and Kings when released ...please 👍🏻 (except previously released singles)...and track by track would be awesome if you are able!? Cheers mate
Appreciate how candid you are in your review. I can't say that the mix ever really bothered me but I don't really know anything about music production..perhaps my listening set-up is just not high quality enough for it to make a difference! I've always loved Myle's vocals. I think you're right and that there have been shades of SMKC in certain vocal lines but frankly, I don't care too much, I would listen to Myles sing a chinese takeaway menu. I am fortunate to have loved every album they put out with the exception of Walk the Sky and that was purely because it wasn't musically or lyrically dark enough for my personal tastes. I did love Dying Light though. Enjoyed this single a lot, particularly the heavy breakdown and the heavier 2nd half so I'm really looking forward to the album release.
First of all, I don’t get the negative feedback on the production. I can hear every instrument just fine. It’s just my opinion but I believe a lot of people have really gotten lost in the amazing creativity the band has in changing as time goes. I don’t think they are trying to impress anyone or attract anyone or sale anyone on their artistic genius. You can put them up against any rock or rock alternative band and they can easily hold their own with changing things up musically. They always bring something new and different and aggressive and it ALL seems to just turn out fantastic. Ok rant over 🤘🏻
I agree 100% about the production. The Last Hero and Walking on the Sky have good music in them but they are hard to listen to because of the production.
I used to think that of TLH too - but holy crap it has grown on me so much! One great kick ass song after the other! I do have a minor quibble with the production still / but not nearly what I used to have. Great collection of songs in a cohesive album as a whole 👍👍
@@grabber_blu_angel Again… I totally hear what ur saying.. I felt the same way for a long time too. Its on heavy rotation for me out of all their albums right now (because AB has no filler - great album band) , although I periodically listen to and rotate through them all except WTS, and I find the production no longer bothers me at all. The songs are so excellent. Ah well - hopefully this new album will be just as epic; but more dynamic range in production 👍
I had chills just by the fact that everything you said, from Fortress being the last strong album to Myles style changing at times since working with Slash, was spot on with my thoughts! At first listen, I wasn't too crazy for this song. Since watching your reaction, I've probably heard the song a half dozen times, and can say that it's actually grown on me. The first half is still nothing good to 'write home about', but I find solace that the song at parts gives me vibes of Fortress.
AB always had pretty lengthy songs overall. Even Fortress had plenty of 5 to 7 almost 8 min songs. Walk the sky was quite shorter compared with their previous albums. Honestly i really enjoy their longer format more. Some of their best songs are usually near 5 min mark
It just needs a better main riff to really lift it. The chorus could be slightly more catchy too. Otherwise, a great song. I've been an Alter Bridge fan since 2004 (Saw them multiple times on the ODR tours) and followed them religiously until after Fortress. The Last Hero and Walk the Sky are still good but they seem to be searching for a direction. This might just be it! I think your journey with Alter Bridge mirrors a lot of early fan's experiences, it certainly does mine.
You just need patience Leigh! Maybe an extra coffee and a Snickers next time. Personally I loved it. The second listen better again than the first. Cheers for the reaction. Peace
Agree to your evaluation of this. They are a cracking band. I feel the song writing is the issue on there last few albums. Cant fault the riffs vocals ect ....... but the songs just aren't grabbing me since fortress
I feel like I've heard this song before. Sounds like it's straight out of The Last Hero. Luckily I've felt less than great about the last three or four albums' first singles and came to enjoy the albums well enough. If this is the same then I'll be happy, it is still a pretty high floor at worst.
I completely agree about Myles’ voice. I thought I was the only one who noticed it haha. Despite that, Myles is still easily the greatest rock singer of the last 20-25 years. No contest.
Suprised the video stayed up…i did like it but second half def better….apparently they have a longer song than Blackbird on this album at well over 8 mins !
You know I’m an equally massive AB fan and I think this is a pretty fair review. Your reaction reminds me of your review of the last Maiden record. Bands become our favorites because they are so good, which then makes it hard for them to always measure up. This is a pretty complex and wandering song and I’ll bet time and familiarity and context will help it grow. It’s got a lot of potential. In the end, it’s AB and while it’s not initially one of my favorites of theirs, it’s still better than most of the music is out there. As for the production, the band has consistently said the albums sound the way they want. I agree they’ve gotten too compressed and muddy, but I’m afraid that’s not on Elvis.
You said loads of stuff that I totally agree with....impossible to live up to the excellence of the first 4 albums. And yes, they are not forced to use Elvis, that's what they want
Your reaction to this video is SPOT ON! you stated everything that I have been thinking since The Last Hero album. The second half of this song does give me some hope, though, so we'll see! You've earned a new subscriber,
Love Alter Bridge but I must admit I'd gone off them a little since the last couple of albums. This sounds like a return to form, especially love the middle part, great guitars and drums and of course Myles is always great!!
I think his change in pronunciation was not an influence kinda thing, but instead that he was touring so much during his time with slash that he had to start preserving his voice. The changes you hear I think are all intentional and are such so he doesn't damage his voice or wear it any further than he has already.
You are bang on the buck about Myles watering down his voice, since he started working with Slash. Initially I used to think it was a coping mechanism to keep his vocal chords in place, against the high pitches he was hitting, but it's a shame that he has to do that on studio records too. And yes, Elvis got to leave.
@@RB-oc7ti you right, it’s like they didn’t hear that scream at the end of the song… i wouldn’t expect him to be as good as he was when younger, but damn he’s still amazing
I 'm a huge, mega AB fan just like you and unfortunately I have to agree with some of your criticisms. That Fortress album was PHENOMENAL and nothing else in their catalog comes close. And I can't put my finger on exactly what it is but something has definitely been "off" about Alter Bridge since that album and, like you, I think the Slash stuff has affected Myles' singing. I say that as someone who's NOT a fan of the Slash stuff though so there's some bias in that opinion. They DID get me back a little with "Walk The Sky"...Even then I don't like it as much as Fortress but I would actually call WTS their second best album. I will say...MAYBE the issue is with US; The fans. As you said, our expectations are SO high after those first four albums that maybe we're at a point where expectations CANNOT be met no matter what the band does. This song has already been a grower on me; I've listened to it about a half-dozen times today already and if the rest of the album has the same vibes as when it kicks into 2nd gear at 14:25 ...I think we'll all be satisfied!
Maybe myles and mark have just gone in different directions. I think myles guitar contributions have really changed alter bridge with the jazzy chords but those bits are somewhat interesting. I think his vocal creativity has perhaps left the band and it feels like mark is no longer really lead songwriter but just “‘guitar player”
🙀 Great comprehensive reaction ~ love the T-shirt. Obviously I have heard of this band, I'm not a fan, only because I've not heard anything by them. Because of my ignorance of the band, I cannot even compare this song to anything else they have done. I wish them the best with their new album.
Weirdly nervous listening to this, I soo wanted it to be a classic after the dreadful Hero album and to see if they can capture some of that incredible creativity of the first four albums. No great surprises here but Tremonti showing glimpses that he might have a few things up his sleeve for the rest of the album. Bloody hope so as I would only want to relisten to this for the albeit majestic minute or so in the second half. Fantastic review Leigh
I really don't get why people hate on the Last Hero. It's so similar sonically and stylistically to Fortress which is arguably their best album. And the title track is easily in the top 5 AB songs.
@@kiwidan2271 same here. The Last Hero was pretty incredible and has some of their strongest songs on it for me. I think people are down on the production of late which isn't something I'm knowledgeable about but but i will say that it's never stopped me enjoying the hell out of the songs on that album. I wasn't such a fan of WTS, purely because it lacked the darkness I love in their music. Dying Light is the exception there as that was an absolute banger. All in all, I thought it was a strong first single, especially the 2nd half.
I like the song, but I will have to listen to it a few more times to know if I REALLY like it. I really dug their first albums too - I think Metalingus is my favorite song. I still like the new stuff, just not quite as much. If I remember right, they were the last group I saw in concert before COVID shut everything down Good reaction - I am not with you on all of the observations, but no hate here - call it like you see it!
Not a big alterbridge fan. I did like walk the sky the best though. But I’m a huge tremonti fan. Tremonti albums are superior. I do like this song. A bit epic. They do this kind of song a little better
I’m right with you all the way. Massive fan since 2005 when I heard the samples online and imported the CD. Everything you say is correct. The production is a bit messy or busy I guess you could call it these days. Myles seems to do a lot of flowing vocals that don’t really have much to them. Your bang on about myles voice, I think the exact same. It’s all about Tremonti these days. I think maybe Alter Bridge have run their course….
I disagree with your take on Myles' style of enunciation since the Slash project. I think it's a bit a positive change, adds a bit more colour and variety. I 100% agree on the production though. Elvis Baskette produces these albums to death. Something there needs to change.
Love your reactions Leigh! Just wondered if you have heard of a band called Nothing More? If not I can highly recommend the latest 3 releases from their forthcoming album in October, all of them are bangers imho. "Spirits" is there latest one and probably my favourite from them of all, and they have been around since 2003!
I love Nothing More. I wore my Fortress shirt to the NoMo concert here a couple months ago and lots of people pointed it out and noted they are fans of both bands.
I used to love AB but for the last couple of albums they have 2 bangers and the rest of the songs I either find boring or really dislike. I feel like they've stretch themselves too thin with all the projects theyre doing- they used to be " side projects" but now I feel like theyre all treated equally. Like you, love the chorus but the rest meh. Not keen on the verse or bridge melody. Best first single since addicted to pain though
I am 100% on the same page as you. Maybe they've become victims of their own expectations.... but I was hoping this first release would blow me away, and it hasn't. I feel like they've gone more towards being progressive. I miss some of those 4 minute bangers, like My Champion. And I agree, it's time for a new outside producer. I'm tired of the Myles overdubs and mirrored vocals. And specifically, this melody is so sing-songy and droning. They just haven't written as many hooks on their last couple albums. Maybe a new outside voice would help give them a spark. That all being said, maybe some added context is needed. Even though this is the title track, it's the album closer. In that sense we could later look back and think it's an epic and appropriate way to end the record. Only 10 songs on the whole thing, a little short for them, but I'm hopeful that what's to come will blow me away. Thank you for doing these reactions!
Fala cara, beleza...? Espero que sim. Em primeiro lugar seu canal é autêntico e muito bacana 🤙 Parabéns. Em relação a nova música do AB, como fã de longa data também, confesso que não gostei. Não é ruim, mas também não é boa como tantas outras épicas que eles já gravaram. Para mim, em uma palavra, genérico. Uma música genérica. Mas ainda assim espero por mais. O primeiro lançamento do álbum, como já é costume para eles, nunca é o melhor do álbum. Abraços do Brasil 🤙⚡🔥
Loved the early albums, but phew, since then it’s too much for me. Overproduced, less melodies that stick. All songs have excellent parts, but then something else comes that does not fit with the rest of the song. As if it was constructed and 50 ideas all needed to find their way into one song. Too much for me. Surely something for die hard fans, but hmm, not for me.
This song for me is their best first release of a song in an album. What an amazing epic song
I agree here. The first half I did and do enjoy, but felt like the chorus and 2nd half of the song was absolutely legendary, and I hope it carries this track to new heights for Alter Bridge, because I am blown away. I can't stop hitting repeat!
you might have to do a follow-up video on this one - track has grown on me A LOT since my first listen this morning
Great song, this is a band that i donìt know very much...I'll listen to all their albums
The second half redeems the entire song.

@@RB-oc7ti My issue with it is that it's exhausting to listen to as a whole album. I do think it has some amazing tracks though.
