The fifth album of Alter Bridge – a group that in 12 years has achieved considerable influence on the alternative scene. So much so that they reached third place in Billboard, 8th in Britain. In fact, the most successful album of AB. In the first place, we get, as always, the chic vocals of multi-instrumentalist Myles Kennedy (no one canceled the position of lead vocalist in Slash's project) (The writing on the wall, the enchanting 7-minute This side of fate with references to Muse). Mark Tremonti's unstoppable guitar (Show me a leader, the battering-ram Poison in your vains). The inspired compositional work of the whole collective (Cradle to the grave especially in the verses, Crows on a wire). Almost no free space, everything is dense and to the point (don't forget The other side and Losing patience too). In the end, we have a most diverse album, but everything is within the limits of the style. A monumental work that charges with energy. They are again missing just a little for entry into the ranks of the greats, but the level is still growing. The peak is ahead, we wait and believe.
