No he aint doing a hip hop album.

He's working with a hip hop producer on his first album, i cant remember this guys name but it's something like Aurelius. He's worked with Jay-Z and lots of top rappers.

But Scott Stapp is NOT making a hip hop album. If you've heard Relearn Love then you'll know he aint doing a hip hop album. And he's said this himself.

His band for the album is the canadian band The Tea Party, i never heard of them until i heard they were helping Stapp out. I listened to Relearn Love and thought this sucks, until it got to the more rock part of the song then i got a little impressed with the band. I hope relearn love is a one off and not all his songs are like it.

We've gone off topic again!!! oops.....back on topic.....

ive only heard that one single 'open your eyes' and i love it i

^If you love the single, you will absolutely adore the album. That song is most probably the weakest on the album.

^Hmm... that is hard for me to tell... I have never been a huge Metallica fan (I've never really BEEN a metallica fan!), so when i hear their music and stuff i really have no idea what era it is from...

I see you have become the spokesperson for AB. Congrats.

I just got the album a few hours ago and it is awsome.
I wouldn't say Open Your Eyes is the weakest though, I love that song. Maybe Burn It Down is but it's still okay.
Their slower songs are also great. In Loving Memory is amazing, musically and emotionally. The vocals for it are perfect.

Anyway the album definetly gets a 5/5.

Why does such a filthy rubbish album get so many replies?

There's a thing called an opinion.
They differ from person to person.
Hope that helps.

Because people think this filthy rubbish album is actually good, while half the posts are saying that it really isn't!

And yet you keep posting so more people keep reading and get interested and buy this "garbage".....Nice one

Why does such a filthy rubbish album get so many replies?

^Yeah, basically... but that is what a lot of reviews are like... I don't know exactly why this one is different...

Because. Lots of people hate Alter Bridge. And all you do in life is defend them

You know, I was wondering if you could get ANY more obnoxious :thumb:

Actually, i come on here like thrice a day. But i don't have much else to do, thanks to being homeschooled...

Either way, i have gotten this thread huge haven't I? :D

[QUOTE=i am miik]Tremonti is still to much of a show off. He throws a fast solo in the new single where one is clearly not needed. He thinks he is God's gift to music, and I have little respect for him. They still sound like generic radio rock to me.[/QUOTE]


I'm the sort of person that believes everyone gets their own opinion, but first of all, you spelled "too" wrong.....Mark Tremonti is still "too" much.......I say this only because it leads me to believe you have a slightly smaller intellect than most people............and this was never more clearly manifested than by your comment about Alter Bridge being generic radio rock........are you kidding me??? Have you even listened to it? I want to be fair......like I said everyone gets their own opinion, but a bold statement like that should be followed by an explanation........just my opinion.

[QUOTE=splashfreak]Alter Bridge: One Day Remains

I was looking forward to this album ever since I heard Mark Tremonti was doing a side project away from Creed. Finally, it has arrived: Creed without Scott Stapp. However, it is even better than I imagined, since Alter Bridge has a much heavier sound, and their new singer, Myles Kennedy, has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard.

So, on with the review. The guitar is handled by Mark Tremonti—one of the best (IMO) guitarists of his generation. Myles Kennedy does the vocals, and as I said before, he is amazing. He has an incredible range, he never screams, and his voice never gets annoying. The drums are performed by another ex-Creed guy, Scott Philips. I always thought he was an incredibly mediocre drummer during Creed’s first three albums, often recycling the same beat in different songs, and he didn’t have very good fills. That has all changed—one listen of Metalingus, and you can tell he has improved dramatically. As for the bass, played by another ex-Creed guy, Brian Marshall, I’ll admit, I can’t even pick out the bass in a lot of songs, I have no idea if he is good or not, but I assume he is, because the music sounds good.

Alright, track by track, here we go:

Find the Real: The album opens with a nice, heavy song, that also showcases a pretty cool solo by Tremonti—however, it is one of his simplest. Over all, the song is pretty generic, but it is still dang good. 4/5

One Day Remains: The title track of this album is so different from the rest of the songs on the album it isn’t funny. It isn’t particularly heavy, but it is very fast, with an awesome intro. Definitely not like most songs I’ve heard. Very good. 4.5/5

Open Your Eyes: They chose this as their single for an obvious reason—it sounds the most like Creed. It has their usually heavy chorus/light verse thing. The solo in this song is downright awesome. Philip's drumming has definitely expanded to different horizons on this song. He actually plays on the snare drum for most of the verse, and it sounds really nice. 4/5

Burn it down: This is probably the weakest track on the album. It is pretty slow, and never really gets into it. However, it still displays the incredible versatility of Alter Bridge. The lyrics are a little strange, but overall, the song isn’t bad—it is just completely outshone by the rest of the album. 3.7/5

Metalingus: This is when the album turns from really good to incredible. The intro to this song is awesome, the chorus is awesome, the verse is awesome, Philip’s drumming is at his best... I can’t say enough about this song. 5/5

Broken Wings: This is one of the songs that Tremonti wrote intending for it to be played acoustically as well as electric. The verse is very monotone, which sets up an awesome chorus. The change-over is awesome, the singing—and the lyrics—are awesome, the bridge is great, the whole song is really cool. 4.5/5

In loving memory: Alright, I’ll admit it; I’m a sucker for power ballads with awesome changeovers between the verse and the chorus. This song has the best of them all. I get chills when this switches to the chorus. Definitely the best power ballad ever in my opinion. 5/5

Down to my last: Very good song. Has a great solo, and a powerful chorus. Not too much originality, but it is a really good listen. 4/5

Watch your words: has a cool but weird intro. The verse sounds like a distorted version of a haunted house song, but it also sounds great. The lyrics, however, are a little lacking on this song. Too bad, since the instruments are awesome. It also sounds a lot like Metallica. 4.5/5

Shed my skin: oh yeah! Great song. The lyrics go back to great on this song, and as usual, the singing is great. This one is very reminiscent of older rock, and it is very enjoyable. The drums go back to their pre-Alter Bridge status of incredibly boring, but only one song on an album with boring drums is pretty good. 4.7/5

The end is here: I have no idea how to describe this song. You really have to listen to it. The changeover (have you gotten the idea that I’m a big fan of awesome changeovers?) is great, the lyrics are great, the melody is aweome, the little splash cymbal “solo� that Philip’s does is really cool—short, but cool. The whole song is just awesome, with a perfect melody for the last song on the album. 5/5

Well, there you have it. I think what makes this my favorite album is the melodies. They are just incredible. And without melodies, you don’t have a song.

4.8/5 overall. It blows away anything else I've ever heard. The whole album is just... perfect. It has great guitar, singing, drumming and maybe the bass is great too--I wouldn't know.

But this is by far the best album I have ever heard. HOWEVER, to comply with the crazy rules on this site, i have not given it a 5/5 because they have not reached ground breaking status YET. If they can make an album that puts straightforward rock back on top--i mean rock that doesn't have a freaking turntable in every song--THEN they would deserve a 5/5. But not quite yet, i guess.[/QUOTE]



I enjoyed this review........I had much the similar reaction, most notably when you said "Watch Your Words" sounded like Metallica........because when I first heard it, I was thinking of "Sad But True"........also Metalingus is one of the best hard rock songs I have ever heard..........it's perfectly raw and loud.......but one thing I wanted to comment on is that I do not believe Scott Phillips is a boring drummer, nor has he improved so much.......but I believe he was really held back while in Creed.....I believe he was just able to spread his wings with Tremonti running things (FINALLY).......one more thing to agree on...........this also blew away anything I've ever heard, maybe that 5/5 is coming on their next cd

^well, it is quite possible he was held back, but it is impossible to judge that. I just know he is a TON better now than he was on Weathered... (Philips, I mean).

Hey splashfreak, have you done any other album reviews? If you have I'd like to read them because this one was pretty good. :thumb: Nice Job!

Don't bring back dead threads, dead head.

The review was biased.
