Can't get it out of my car!

I'm not a long time diehard crowes fan. So I'll save you the overly analytical, tooth comb review. Basically if they had more CD's as consistant and well crafted as this one I would be that long time, diehard fan. Over the years they always had some great songs but I never found a disc that I liked the whole enough to buy. This is the best American rock album I've heard in so long I almost forgot there was real rock n roll bands left anymore. Chris Robinson's melodies are very focused and musical and the guitars and rhythm section are all meat. I read some of the reviews saying they missed the more loose, jammy feel from previous CD's. I personally don't think the Crowes do that too well (leave that to the Allman's and Carlos). I love that this CD is one strong "song" after another and they all are to the point without any unecessary fluf. The backup vocals in the gospel, R&B style give great counterpoint melodies to Chris's lead vocal. Maybe all that matters is like the title of my review says. It hasn't left my CD changer since I first put it in. When "Horsehead" starts your yugo turns into a GTO!! It melts blaring, stoplight hiphop at 20 yards baby! If your sick of buying remastered 70's favorites because there ain't much happening in rock right now, check out this CD and it will renew your faith that there's life after Bonham, Jones and Bolin ceased to be.

P.S I refuse to accept that Appetite for Destruction was meant to be my generations rock revival.
