Excellent debut album

Review Score: (8/10)
I'm gonna start out by saying that this is my favorite album. Every single song on this cd is my favorite.

I read a few reviews saying that this album is bad and that Velvet Revolver thinks they can sell albums based on their already famous band-members. There is no question about it that the fact that the singer of Stone Temple Pilots and much of Guns and Roses starting a band gave this a lot of hype before its release, but on top of being a supergroup, this album is GOOD.

After I heard Slither once I thought, "Hmm... that was pretty good." Then a day later i NEEDED to listen to it again. after listening to it over and over and over AND OVER, I decided i NEEDED to buy the album. And it wasn't till a few days after I bought the album did I learn that it is infact a supergroup (i'm only thirteen i didn't really know slash was a famous guitarist heh)

so....
buy the album.
and some people have said it doesn't work with ipods because of some copyright protection. thats bs cuz i have an ipod and it works perfectly...
