Everytime I hear this all I hear is Creed. With a fantastic vocalist this time. Oh well, a stigma they'll get over. Just wish they could!

Wow, I could see you saying that about "Fallout" but to me "I Know It Hurts" has the most immediate chorus on the whole album, so much so that I worry it's almost too immediate and almost cheesy. But the song has a good amount of energy and enough metal elements that ppl won't think they're TOO wimpy. Nope, too generic a chorus for me versus the much stronger and more interesting choruses in the other songs. |

^ A few years ago that wouldn't be looking too good. A top 10 debut with those figures is highly possible these days, though.

That compares favorably to the other Creed album from last year.

Yeah, it's also probably good enough to debut higher on the BB200 than Blackbird, which entered at #13.

You can't really complain about their performance this time around, their last album didn't do much either.

Interesting. 10 Years debuted the other week at the same position with sales of 19,000.

I think they should've released the album a little later, to make the lead single more well-known (I'm not sure if thats the right way to put it) and to make it in time for the Holiday shopping.

I guess the reason for these album sales is because it was released in the UK a month it got released here in the US

I only have one thing to that - Susan BoyleI don't care to check if you're talking about her actual album or some kind of Christmas thing, but the latter is obvious and if it's the former, well of course there are exceptions to the rule, but there's a huge difference between Susan Boyle and Alter Bridge, and I shouldn't have to explain what it is. |

Goes for Alternative adds December 7th (allaccess) AllAccess sent me a poster of the "Isolation" cover and claimed it was going for adds Dec. 6th. Never said anything about alternative, which puzzled me a lot. |

4 2 ALTER BRIDGE - Isolation 1641 1508 133 4.955 This looks like (deservedly) pipping "The Animal" to become the next #1  |

^Well those two have been flip-flopping every couple of days for the last two weeks. I don't think it's necessarily ahead of Disturbed for good, but I hope it can spend some time at the top both on active rock and on Billboard Mainstream Rock. I also hope that a #1 will help convince more alternative stations to come around and add this so it can eventually go top 30 there. Right now, top 40 doesn't even look like a guarantee.

Very underrated band. Phenomenal singer, probably the best around right now. Hope these guys continue to do well.

They have some pretty strong follow-up options, after this (presumably) hits #1, aswell. I can't wait to get the album for Christmas tomorrow. I always wait to get the album to hear all the tracks for the first time. Hopefully this album is awesome, as I expect it to be. |
