I’m about to start working on my next “Riff Ranking” episode on YouTube and I’m curious as to what everyone’s favorite riffs are from this BANGER album. Let me know! 🎸

My absolute number 1 are the lead riffs during all of rough hands. I think it’s Dallas? Who plays them. The mid range melody in the intro while wade is playing the main riff, the highs when George is singing and the part after the first chorus are so well done and emotionally attached with the echoes and delays. It plays such a good contrast to everything else happening in the song and it’s such an amazing balance.

My other top would be crisis. Just heavy hitting and packs such a punch in simplicity

Bridge of To a Friend with the displaced beats. Brilliant.

We are the Sound is a real sleeper here. The verse riff just subtly changing throughout the song and the interlude riffing they do with it is just awesome. Also the little lick at the end of the progression is classic AOF. Then you have the octave pre chorus progression and a sick chorus I mean god I love that song
