I am addicted to music in general. Not a day goes by where I don't listen to it and I would prefer to forget my phone at home over my mp3-player (yes I have an mp3-player, no ipod or whatever and it's been working GREAT for me for the past 4 years).
Anyway I've been a bit late to actually listen to Alter Bridge's latest album Fortress since it came out in September 2013. The reason was that after Blackbird I was a little bit disappointed with ABIII, though I also haven't intensely listened to that one either. It didn't grasp me, so I listened to other stuff.
With the first single from Fortress (addicted to pain) I was also not grasped. I don't really understand why they went with this song as a first single. Pretty much all the other songs are way better than that one. Not saying it's a bad song, it's just not a good representation of how good the album is.

I started to really listen to the other songs of the album about 2 weeks ago and I simply can't stop. The top songs for me from the album are: Cry of Achilles, Lover, All Ends Well and Fortress.
It is a great piece of work we needed in the rock genre. The riffs are great, but then again that is to be expected from Mark Tremonti, and Myles Kennedy's voice is still one of the greatest in this era of rock. There is a reason why Slash wanted him on 2 albums and along on tour - just saying!
So all in all I am obsessed and so happy I finally gave this album a good listen! The only bummer is that I just missed them when they were playing a show here. Next time I'll be there for sure!
Here's a youtube clip of the Fortress - the first song I favorited from the album:
