They only have two out at the moment, both of which are really great with no clear favourite amongst fans. I would suggest 'Blackbird' though, the songwriting seems more mature, is definately darker and I think more consistent.
Their new album ABIII is out in a couple of weeks too. I will let you know what its like when I get onto it.

Sweet.
Will start with Blackbird then I guess.
What sort of music is it? Metal or Hard Radio Rock?
I saw Myles with Slash and he is a good singer and guitarist.
I also watched the Max acoustic sessions with Slash/Myles and he seems like a cool dude.
Interested in checking out AB.... Do they have much of a following in Oz?

I think the reason I prefer Blackbird over One Day Remains (their debut) is because Myles was more a part of the songwriting process and plays both rhythms and some solos which gives the music more depth. ODR was pretty much written before he was brought into the group, from what I gather. It is still a great album though.
They are somewhere in between hard radio rock and metal. I think of them as sounding like a cross between Creed (obviously), Black Label Society (Zakk has even guested on a track from One Day Remains) and Soundgarden (Myles sounds very Cornel in places, hence his awesomeness).
From what I gather they haven't had much of a following here in the past. They toured once opening for POD and Disturbed, which I passed on. I have seen them in Europe once though and they slayed live. I think the combination of signing to Roadrunner for ABIII and Myles' profile being raised by all the rave reviews Slash is getting will lead to the band getting a bit more exposure, and hopefully see them come back for some more shows.

Yeah, I just went to JB and they only had ABIII which I havent heard anything about. I assume its the new one.

Never heard Alter Bridge, only heard this guy butcher Guns N Roses songs with Slash.
I'm gonna post what seems like it will be an unpopular opinion:
I fucking hate Myles Kennedy.
His high register sounds like he's trying to front a Soundgarden tribute band with a bad Cornell impersonation and his lower register is pure DERPA DERPA. I can't stand derpa derpa singing, except to take the piss out of it.
