AB IIIとは 意味・読み方・使い方

AB III is the third studio album by the rock band Alter Bridge, released on October 8, 2010. Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette, the album is a departure from the band's first two albums for several reasons, the primary reason being that it is a loose concept album, a first for Alter Bridge, with lyrical themes of mostly struggling with faith. It is more dynamic and progressive, musically, and it features lyrics that are much darker than the lyrics on the band's previous albums. AB III is also the first Alter Bridge album to be released on Roadrunner Records, making it the band's third consecutive album to be released on a different label. The album was released on Roadrunner Records worldwide except North America, where it was self-released on Alter Bridge Recordings via Capitol Records. The first single, "Isolation," the band's most successful single to date, was released on September 26, 2010 in the United Kingdom and November 9, 2010 in the United States. AB III is the band's most successful album to date and has received general acclaim from critics, most notably Artistdirect, who called it a "masterpiece."
