Thank you for reading my review.

Finally, a Rock band worth a rat's a@#!! Yes, this band rocks!. The album was way beyond good and the near future looks promising(for now atleast). First of all Scott Weiland is the 2nd best singer out there in mainstream Hard rock. Only Chris Cornell is better(keep in mind I am referring to mainstream Hard rock so Metal singers not included...). Scott Weiland is the reason STP is a legendary band and the reason this band is any good. Before I go into the review of the actual album there are some things that has to be takent off my chest.

1. Attention all you so called experts...SLASH IS NOT I REPEAT NOT THE co-FOUNDING MEMBER OF GNR IT WAS TRACI GUNNS. JESUS GET IT RIGHT ALREADY.
2. SLASH IS WASHED UP AS FAR AS GUITAR SOLOS GO. Solo cds sucked!
3. This band as good as it is, it is NOT I repeat NOT better than the NEW GUNs N' Roses the best songs on this album that really rock hard could not hold a candle to the few NEW songs/Demos played by the new GNR.
4. This band will break up or implode cos Scott Weiland is still on drugs and SLash has too much of an ego.
5. Last and not least Buckethead is ten times better than Slash ever was or ever will be. "POPULATION OVERRIDE" ANYONE?

With that said this album rocks very hard & I highly recommended it. Scott is right on the money he screams with ferocious versatility and yet he somehow adds a unique melody to his voice. He's like a LASER being right on target. The songs are all very good and well written(although a few dumb lyrics here & there) and the sound of the band seems a combination of old classic rock, punk/garage rock, hard rock rhythm and blues, and a little glam, with a twist of FRESHNESS AND NEWNESS.

My biggest complaint is the Guitar solos. Slash what the hell happened to you? There is like 13 tracks and only like 2 songs had a guitar solo worth a crap. The guitar solos were too short to begin with and in some cases not even there? The ryhtms guitars are right on the money(thanks atleast for that but that was the new guy not SLASH), but in a time where rock music has literally made the guitar solo a "lost art" it would seem to me that Slash would of broken the norm and he failed miserably. Not to mentiond Slash justified what I always have known, but his fans won't admit, which is that:

Buckethead is way.....way.....way.... better not to mentioned musically younger meaning the best is still yet to come. Anyhow, go buy this album it is good from start to finish and enjoy while it can cos after 3 or 4 albums it's over. They will break up, run out of ideas, or Scott will overdose on heroine...on that same note we should get atleast 3 more albums from them in 8 years span so have fun.

Now will AXL ROSE please release the long awaited "CHINESE DEMOCRACY" album.
