Album Rating: 3.5

Still prefer this to Blackbird. It seems more cohesive and flowing.

Album Rating: 5.0

Really well written piece . I disagree with your rating though, I gave it a 5, I think it is an amazing, well written album and is very powerful throughout and never gets tiresome. Its all opinions though so am not going to moan

Album Rating: 3.5

I love Slip To The Void, Couer D' Alene, Words Darker than Their Wings, and Make It Right

Album Rating: 2.5

I wish more songs on this were like Slip to the Void cause that song's actually fantastic and not one-dimensional.

Album Rating: 4.0

Very good review and I agree. I always have a hard time rating this album because of exactly what you say: while the tracks are all good when listened to individually, across the spread of 66 minutes (77 even including the bonus tracks) most of them become stale as almost all of them are equally good/bad. Except for Slip to the Void and Words Darker Than Their Wings (which are the only tracks they mess up with the song structure) non of the tracks stand out, making it all one gray mass of 7-8/10 caliber songs (or a little above it depending on my mood). Definitely their weakest record overall.

Not better than Blackbird but decent album.

I fuckin' love this band

Album Rating: 3.0

ABIII is a solid 3 from me. I actually quite like this album, it's not particularly one I 'need' but some of the riffs and hooks are awesome. If they trimmed some of the fat and made this a shorter album, I'd probably enjoy it more overall.

My favorite AB album. Slip to the void my favorite AB song.
