The first album was all the pent up and somwhat held back energy from held back from stapp. One day remains was the showcase showing and prooving what mark and flip could really pull off. Now with brian back to the mix it's all the sweeter. However, IMO as much as one day remains kicked ass it still just in my view had a few weak points like in loving memory. Sorry, that song just does not do much despite the intracate guitar licks. But also, it's their first album so it's going to take at least 2 more albums for AB to further establish their own sound. Yea, I know that does sound moot considering alter bridge is technically creed with out stapp, but it's also a second chance and I think it's going to be way better this time around with out the constant media bombardment and all the animosity from the music community.
With the next album I would like to hear an instrumental or two, of course more sreddidge from mark but also some bluesy stuff. Also, have myles put in just a bit more.
