For The One You Love/In The Gentle Hours - Ronnie Aldrich

Advantages: Feels like I'm back in Vegas! Guitar heavy anthems
Disadvantages: As ever...not long enough!

...of the album and indeed I was for most of my first listening to the album. Again, Flowers and the rest of the band had adjusted their tone and their music to show how versatile they can be. Not a lot to say about this track that can do it justice in a review. 13. Where The White Boys Dance Don't be that jealous girl. Just telephone you need an hour or two A 'bonus track' on a limited edition of 'Sam's Town' although I have yet to see a copy without this track on! Like the 2 predecessors to this track, Where the White Boys Dance starts off very soft, very innocent and melodic. A simple guitar rifts starts this song and their piano resurfaces again. This track is a very gentle track and it again manages to convey that The Killers are one of the most versatile bands in music at the moment, both lyrically and musically. The simplicity...

...It's fair to say that I like to listen to some very unusual bands that are certainly not mainstream in their country of origin, let alone here in the UK. It's also fair to say that Alter Bridge are not mainstream which, by my account, is a great shame. Why, I hear you cry? Well, it's simple; the talented four piece's first album, 'One Day Remains', is spectacular, ranging from gentle rock ballads to hardcore head banging tracks and songs of hope even in the darkest hour of a persons day.
