Track Highlights: Riffs and Epic Closures
The album features “Rue The Day,” “Disregarded,” and “Scales Are Falling,” echoing Alter Bridge’s classics. “Trust In Me” showcases Myles Kennedy’s verses and Mark Tremonti’s chorus, while “Tested And Able” flips it with Tremonti’s verses and Kennedy’s soaring chorus over a heavy intro. “Hang By A Thread” promises to be a live favorite, and the 9:03 epic “Slave To Master” closes as their longest track yet.
