5. You Will Be Remembered

It's easy to take one look at a song title like this and assume it's going to be something of a smoochy ballad, but nothing is ever so straightforward with AB, as You Will Be Remembered is actually a tribute to the armed forces, and all those who lay down their lives so we can sit at home and listen to something like this new album in the first place.

Myles sings about how he's "waited way too long" to put such a message out, and he's spot on. In these tumultuous, politically-charged times, it's easy to completely skate over what genuine bravery it must take to volunteer and follow through on such duties, and for that, You Will Be Remembered became one of my standout favourites.

"For the ones who sacrificed it all, we will sing. Who took a stand so we would never fall, you will always be a hero. We will sing, so you will be remembered"

From the heart, direct, purposeful - a really important song through and through.

Listen out for: Mark deciding to bend space and time with what sounds like three guitars playing at once around 4:20. His double-stop technique (if that's indeed what this is) is something else.
