Skip this one

Review Score: (4/10)
I've had my eye on this CD for a while. Then, me and my friend traded CD's for a little while. He got my Texas Chainsaw Massacre Soundtrack, and I got his Velvet Revolver Contraband. And let me tell you, the trade wasn't fair. He got a head banging CD that sported such bands as Pantera, Hatebreed, Lamb Of God, Mushroomhead, Meshuggah. And I got THIS? Hell, no! Man! I was mad. I listened to this once all the way through, put the CD back in the case, and wanted to smash it. What a terrible recording! I was expecting what I heard from Fall To Pieces, and Slither. But the whole album was...was...not good. I give this two stars because - and I hate to say this, because I hate those people who buy a whole CD and only listen to the single(s) - the singles are the only two good songs. Do yourself a favour, skip this one. Get something else. As for me, I was glad I got my Texas Chainsaw Massacre Soundtrack back. Get Guns N Roses, there WAY better. I suggest Appetite For Destruction. My friend ended up buying the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Soundtrack, and I ended up writing a negative review on this site. What a waste of time. Slash is better than this.

Keep Shredding
