    It's gonna be very different from what people usually expect from Myles.

    ^^^ Guessing someone was expecting the solo album to be similar to that of Alter Bridge's albums.

    it's a grower and not too bad but in fairness this is only a project by the guy won't damage his rep much

    Plus it's a concept album dealing with a certain period in Myles life.

    Found some more information on Year Of The Tiger after listening to Myles on Eddie Trunk's podcast.
    I realized year of the tiger was 1974, which was the year my father passed away when I was a kid...My family, at that point, were Christian Scientists. So basically, this woman Mary Baker Eddy started this in the 1800s, and the premise is that you don’t go to doctors. You believe that God is gonna heal you. It's very frustrating even talking about it, frankly.

    Dad got sick and chose not to go and see a doctor. He died of the appendicitis. He died one night in his sleep because it blew up and gangrene went all over. He didn't know it was [appendicitis] because he wouldn't go and see a doctor. But what is interesting is that he got really sick about eight weeks prior. He was in a lot of pain. So there's a theory it might have actually ruptured then. He may have had gangrene actually for quite a while. But mom woke up one morning and he passed away.

    The light has actually gone off for her a little earlier, previous to his death. Because she worked at a nursing home and she realized that a lot of people associated with the Christian Science faith were passing away.

    Also on his website, but that's from the bandsintown, be worth waiting to see it on The Academy's Facebook or Twitter.

    Link taken down from Facebook site, wouldn't be the first time that bandsintown has misled an absolutely terrible app, that aside odd artists page would share the misinformation if thats what it is.

    Id say they just jumped the gun when they put it online before it was announced by the promoter

    Think it's very unlikely as added an extra date in London for the Friday 23rd.

    3rd and I would imagine final single before the albums released in 2 weeks time.



    And some live takes on the first 2 singles and a cover of Robert Johnson's Travelling Riverside Blues at Paste Studios in New York City.
