The time for comparing Alter Bridge to Creed is long past, yet there is another noticeable difference between the bands in my-love-was-never-enough-for-you song "Watch Over You." While Creed earnestly tried to create inspiring music (sometimes too earnestly), bombastic production rendered the effort heavy-handed. But songwriters/Alter Bridge members Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti turn a nifty trick of effortlessly making a sad lyric feel uplifting. A lament about a loved one now living unprotected are framed with lite-country acoustics that then take flight with bolder guitars and Kennedy's unforced tenor, which glides like an eagle. Like the images of nature it invokes, "Watch Over You" is pristine and majestic. —Christa L. Titus
