    Blackbird was the album of 2007 for me, I literally just had my first real breakup that spring, then literally 3 weeks before the album dropped i was moved from my small town in indiana to a much larger town in North Alabama, I literally knew none of the kids at this new school and all my friends were in Indiana, Literally listened to this Album the full two years i lived there, Until i came back to Indiana in 2009. The songs hit me hard and got me through alot, Will never forget that, Still listen to it to this day, One of the Greatest Rock albums of my generation for sure

    I love this album! Got it the week it came out. I was 13 years old, in 7th grade. I learned alternate tunings from this album. It's one of my top 5 favorite albums and easily one of my top 3 modern (21st century) albums. I have a lot of memories wrapped up in Blackbird, and I relive them every time I listen to it.

And Myles Kennedy's voice. It doesn't get better. Thanks for being so great! You guys are everything that I love about rock:)

    I disagree that AB3 doesn't hold a candle to Blackbird. They're very different. That being said, it's a REALLY good problem when a band's fans fight over which album was the best and any fan looks at any of their album as a "once in a lifetime record" With that in mind, AB is tremendously underrated.

      Blackbird and One Day Remains were musical master pieces!
      The Alter Bridge formula was sorta still an experiment and a natural evolution up until ABIII. ABIII incorporated 2 new elements that hasn't been there in this form before and to which the band shouldn't have stuck:
      1. They incorporated that Ghost Of Days Gone By intro guitar sound, that from there on is present in basically every other AB song. (and I hate it)
      2. They took the initial AB lyrics formula of being as relatable but vage as possible and took it to a over-exaggerated cliche level, which just makes it cheesy and dull.
      It's kinda like Breaking Benjamin changing their style after "So Cold" was dropped and became a huge success - they produced two whole stunning albums as an evolution of that sound (Phobia and Dear Agony) and then fell into the same ever repeating pattern, riding that formula to death and becoming a cliche and almost a parody of their own.
      The fist two AB records will always be in my heart as two of my most favorite albums of all time, which I come back to every couple of months, but I honestly haven't dug out ABIII in 10 years after listening to it for a while right after it dropped. I checked out all the following albums to look how or rather IF the band evolved but AB by now is just a shadow of it's former glory. It's a shame.

Blackbird really is one the greatest rock and metal albums ever created. It’s definitely a masterpiece

    You can actually tell they took their time and have dedication to what they do, where as guys like Wiz Khalifa just chew out the same shit everytime and everything seems like it doesn't come together well. Thats what I love about musicians that use real instruments like rock and country, they don't stop until it sounds just right. Pop lovers and rappers call rockers like Alter Bridge emo and untalented, but at least they take their time to make something different

    I used to think they don't have a hard time playing their own tunes and then Mark said with Blackbird it's a pain lol.
    From Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Tremonster. My fave band ever

    I love all the AB records, but to this day my two favorite records are, in order, Blackbird and Last Hero.

    Their first, and last truly great record. There are bright spots on their subsequent records, but nothing has been as good as a whole. Blackbird is a masterpiece hard rock record.

      I personally think this and Fortress were top notch. Fortress and Cry of Achilles are amazing!
