Alter Bridge: Ranking All 5 Studio Albums

4. One Day Remains

One Day Remains is the most important album in the band’s catalogue. Having three out of the four members coming from Creed, people could be forgiven for thinking they had 'just replaced the singer'. However, what many didn’t realise was that Myles Kennedy is to Scott Stapp what Tom Holland is to Andrew Garfield.

Better. Better in every way.

Alter Bridge immediately put Creed in the past, opening the album with the pounding Find the Real, followed by Myles demonstrating what he is all about on the title track. By the third song Creed was forgotten, and Alter Bridge had arrived - a band in their own right.

Again it is tough to put this album so low because there are genuinely moving songs on here such as In Loving Memory, which Mark Tremonti wrote for his Mother after she passed away.

The only reason One Day Remains is lower than the rest comes from this being a debut album. The chemistry of not only Myles and Mark, but also Scott and Brian in the rhythm section has only grown since (Myles didn't even play lead guitar back then), going from strength to strength.

This standard nerd combines the looks of Shaggy with the brains of Scooby, has an unhealthy obsession with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is a firm believer that Alter Bridge are the greatest band in the world.
