A pleasant surprise(knocks me out)
I recently checked this cd out from the library and I think its great.While I would buy the lateset releases from Robben Ford or Joe Bonamassa(and have)rather than buy some newer metal(I turned that task over to my 16 year old son) I have been a fan of Mark Tremonti since the Creed days and have seen ads for this cd in Guitar Player magazine plus an interview with Mark so wanted to give Blackbird a try.I was so happy to hear how good this band is.To me Alter Bridge has all the elements needed for excellent classic sounding metal with a modern edge;Crunchy ballsy sounding riffs(with a few Zakk Wylde approved pick harmonics thrown in) awesome lead work(some nice Schenker influenced wah) and a singer who can actually sing.I wish the local rock radio station(1077 the bone) had the guts to play songs from this cd. It truly seem under appreciated(though I was happy to see the love given here at Amazon).

guitar rock fan
If you enjoy a little harder rock music as I do, you will love this artist. Both CD's we've purchased are highly enjoyable. They are a great sound without being too hard core. Alter Bridge is one of our family's new favorites.

Have you ever heard a cd and knew it was going to be classic rock?
I have listened to this cd every single day since I received it for my birthday from a friend back in October 07. The reason I bought this one on Amazon was to send it as a gift to another friend. This is the most amazing collection of songs on a cd that I have heard since I listened to Led Zeppelin back in the day. It is one of those cds that just when you finish one amazing song, another completely different amazing song comes on- and it goes that way through to the end...you just can't pick what song you love the most. I wasn't even an Alter Bridge fan prior to this cd. I am a musician myself and was totally blown away with everything about this cd.
Great production, great music, great musicianship, great lyrics, great arrangement, and (hey hold on to your seats) GREAT LEAD GUITAR SOLOS!!!! I just can't say enough- if you buy this cd and don't like it- I will gladly buy it off of you because I keep wearing my copies out!!! If you love great music- you will love this disc big time.

Alter Bridge comes through
How many "follow up" CDs have been flops?

Not this one. Alter Bridge's "Blackbird" is an excellent follow-up CD.

Buy it. You'll not be disappointed.
