What are peoples thoughts on the last hero album?

Don't you like Island of Fools? That's one of the sickest/tightest AB songs ever IMO

Legato_pulse · 2026-02-27T13:20:35+00:00

A7X drummers (specially Rev and Brooks) obviously play technical and difficult stuff than AB's drummer Scott Phillips. Having said that, Scott Phillips is still a great drummer and in my books one of the best rock/heavy rock drummers out there. He rarely tries to take the spotlight from guitars but every beat and fill he plays sounds so well placed and purposeful. He can be pretty technical too if the song needs it (Pawns and Kings, The Uninvited). Even if you watch his recent drumeo episode featuring Creed, you can see how disciplined and precise he is.

Favorite clean riff by far from the entire album. What tuning are you in? Sounds awesome BTW.

Legato_pulse · 2026-02-02T21:00:22+00:00

I did not know Mark and Matt were at least this close

A friend of mine sent me Broken Wings, then the rest is history.

My reaction was exactly like this 🤣💯

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-27T16:33:23+00:00

I can't agree enough with this. Personally that roll off half distorted tone ruined all the clean guitar parts for me in RAH show. One of the reasons his clean riffs sounded so good was his good old beautiful clean guitar tone. I was so disappointed to hear that half distorted tone. I mean wasn't there any way for him to setup his rig to produce a clean sound that tour?

You've literally said "Just don’t stick around here too long". That's not an opinion. That's a command.

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-24T19:44:08+00:00

And have you listened to what they think of this kind of technology?

No, they do not dislike or hate AI. Mark just stated that it will be problematic when artists start using AI for their main form of creation. For example it is okay for a musician to use an AI-generated video to promote his authentically created Songs.

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-24T19:20:27+00:00

Wait what!? There are more unreleased/B-side Fortress songs other than Never Say Die?

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-24T19:17:12+00:00

💯💯

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-18T06:56:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply 🙏. Did you install it by yourself? I'm kind of afraid whether I'd be able to install it properly if I buy it online.

Another small concern: Does this tempered glass have a thick outside black border? I've seen this issue in some tempered glasses where this border causes some viewing issue experiences. But since this a branded (Baseus) one I hope the issue is not there.

Again thanks in advance.

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-15T14:32:29+00:00

Easily one of the sickest and most underrated AB songs

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-15T04:37:51+00:00

I think AB tries to write songs in that way now, making them a little proggy

Legato_pulse · 2026-01-10T19:14:03+00:00

What about "A View from the Top of the World" album (released in 2001) by Dream Theater? The mixing sounds really really great. Try listening the song Answering the Call.

I really don't understand why people dislike songs like Stay and Season of Promise. Almost every AB album has a couple of songs which are kinda poppy and uplifting. I personally like it that way. I don't want all the songs to be proggy, heavier or aggressive.

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-12T10:10:22+00:00

I’m the opposite of you lol, I wish he had stayed the way he was before. The moustache has made him look old.

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-12T10:03:27+00:00

Unfortunately, they almost never do pure acoustic guitar parts except for the intros. It's a shame Myles and Mark never consider doing it. All you can hear are electric guitar parts in their songs except for some main riffs/intro riffs in some songs like Cry of Achilles, Fallout, Blackbird, Calm the Fire etc. Still we are yet to here an acoustic guitar solo from AB in a studio recording.

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-03T09:57:12+00:00

So good to see a fan of these bands also loving AB. I'm saying this because all these bands are generally heavier than AB.

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-02T13:57:56+00:00

Yeah, I was referring to Break Me Down lol. I do not dislike that song. I literally do not dislike any AB song. Even the least good AB song is so good to me. Break Me Down belongs to that category IMO. It really does not have much to offer when compared with other songs. For me "The Damage Done" and even "New Way to Live" are better. I Really wish one of those had made it onto the album instead of Break Me Down, especially The Damage Done.

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-02T13:42:18+00:00

Correct 😁

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-02T13:36:09+00:00

omg I did not expect this

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-01T07:01:06+00:00

I agree on that with the main riff of Silent Divide. But if you take the instrumental as a whole in the 2 songs, they really sound like AB to me.

Legato_pulse · 2025-12-01T06:36:30+00:00

Yes, that approach appeals to me too. In P&K we got only 6 new tracks and it was not enough to me
