is it me or are the b-sides better than some of the songs on blackbird. i feel like this would of been a more complete album if it had some of these b-sides on it. i duno maybe im the only one but i really never listen to 'break me down'. im trying to figure out how that one made the cut over new way to live or we dont care at all

I kind of feel the same way sometimes but I respect what they chose, I think they needed more radio friendly songs like "Break Me Down" to help the album get airplay. Even though "New Way to Live" & "We Don't Care At All" are great songs I doubt they could be released as singles...but I'm not complaining though every track AB has ever put out rules B-side or on Albums

I actually agree about Break Me Down. I think anyone of the b-sides could've been in it's place.

Break me down is a great song. Actually... i would have rather seen a b-side in 'One by One's place.

When I first heard One by One I kind of thought that too but it's now grown on me as one of my favorites. But I agree "Break Me Down" is a great song too, very melodic & catchy, again every song they've ever made you can't really go wrong in my opinion...

Eh, I'm apathetic about it. Alter Bridge and Universal seem to be pretty smart. I'm sure they made the right choice. I'm not going to question it, because I'm sure they have a reason for it.


Though I do really like The Damage Done.

I love Break Me Down! the intro is great, and the feel of the entire song is cool.

I think break me down is the weakest song of the bunch. It doesn't sound very Alter Bridgeish to me. It could be about 100 other bands. The bonus tracks, however, are all great. We Don't Care At All doesn't really fit with the rest of the album, so I can see why that one was cut. But I think Damage Done is awesome and should have taken the place of Break Me Down. The dual guitar part in Damage Done is sweet. I want to see it performed live.

Replace Break Me Down and One By One with New Way To Live and Damage Done, and have One By One and We Don't Care At All as bonus tracks is what I reckon

I've said it before "new way to live" is the only good b-side and its still worse than every song on the record. The other B-sides are pretty terrible

Nope One By One and Break Me Down are two of my faves , i also think we dont care at all is much better than the damage done , i have no qualms with the current set up , every song that alter bridge have ever made are just strokes above any band , so how ever song are placed ill still love 'em !

One by one is great. That's why he wants to make it a bonus track. But break me down is... kind of ehhh

new way to live, i think thats teh one im thinking of cuz i dont have any of them... sounds alot like human clay. its got the same feel as other b-sides like Inside us all and To Whom it may concern, kinda weird.

Oh man! Break me down Has one of the best choruses on the record!!! Rock On
New way to live is a little on the boring side imo, still a good song though.
I herd somewhere that Mark said we dont care at all didnt make it cause it didnt fit the record's theme.?
I think they are all great songs!
