Alter Bridge’s latest album, Blackbird, prove that the band is definitely no one-hit wonder. With a more brash, aggressive and raw feel than One Day Remains, the band performs well together. The album begins with the aggressive metal track “Ties That Bind” that features the heavy guitar riffs of Mark Tremonti and his brilliant soaring solo on “Come to Life.” One of the best tunes of the album has to be “Before Tomorrow Comes,” and it showcases why Alter Bridge has become one of the most exciting current metal/hard rock bands. The eighth track which is also the title track, “Blackbird” is more than just a soaring anthem; it’s a true hard rock masterpiece. The album also includes the beautiful ballad “Watch Over You” with its heartfelt lyrics and soft guitar. Blackbird is a great second album and is sure to please any Alter Bridge fans.
