Heh, nice joke.
I was actually planning on heading out to pick up a copy of Contraband tomorrow, but because I’m a total disaster, I’ve already gone ahead and downloaded half the damn album.
Honestly, it’s alright—definitely an improvement over Slash's Snakepit, I guess—but there isn't really a connection to Guns N' Roses at all. Slash just isn't bringing those signature solos to the table.
They’re somewhat comparable to their older stuff, but let's be honest—the lyrics are total garbage. It’s the kind of absolute trash only a junkie like Weiland could ever write.
Alright, look, I've gotta sit down and listen to the whole damn album from start to finish before I can actually make up my mind about any of this.
