ALTER BRIDGE – Walk The Sky

Walk The Sky is the sixth album from the American Rock band Alter Bridge. Alter Bridge was formed in 2004 from the remains of Creed after parting ways with vocalist Scott Stapp. Singer Myles Kennedy joins guitarist Mark Tremonti, bassist, Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips, all founding members of Creed. Walk The Sky represents the first time the entire band wrote music together, as opposed to Kennedy and Tremonti working with a producer, and the result is a powerful, well-produced Rock record that stands tall in the current musical landscape.

The first single, “Wouldn’t You Rather”, kicks off with a heavy, eastern-influenced guitar intro, and crashes into a driving hard rock anthem. Kennedy’s vocals are clear and powerful, and the chorus is hooky and soaring. Definitely one of the strongest tracks on the record. The isn’t much slack in the pace, as Alter Bridge delivers 14 tracks that hit hard, and deliver. “Pay No Mind” is the second single, and its groovy synth lines and burgeoning guitar lay a textured foundation for Kennedy’s melodic and yet cryptic lyrics.

Overall, Walk The Sky is a world-class production, delving a tight, clear, and punchy mix, and the songs are well written and interesting, not following a formulaic approach. Fans of Tremonti, Kennedy, and fans of Alter Bridge will enjoy Walk The Sky.
