4 out of 5 stars Let's not waste talent...   December 15, 2007
Since Axl W. Rose is such a duchxbag a lot of talented musicians who counted on him during the 90's have moved on. Who did they get? Talented STP singer Wieland. Think about the mix between STP and Gn'r. Some may think of mixing JD and Jager but oddly enough, it works. br /br /As far as copy protection goes? Well if that is your concern, yeah, it is copy protected. Just be warned. br /br /Other than that, it is nice to hear the STP frontman singing to hardcore music and deliver a package that is worthy. br /br /You be the judge, but it is a nice revert to the oldschool that we used to know and love. br /br /Enjoy.


4 out of 5 stars better than expected   November 21, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

What a great album. Some of the best hard rock I have heard. The songs just have a great energy about them. Much better than I anticipated this album to be. "Dirty Little Thing" just smokes. A great quick number. "Sucker Train Blues" is one of the best albums openers in a long time. No real bad song.


3 out of 5 stars Scott was better with the Under-Rated, Brilliant DeLeo Brothers   November 7, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The riffs on the "Heavy" tunes of Contraband seem like last-minute/same-day studio creations. Slash has been way-more-creative structuring songs. He's going through easy motions. His guitar playing sounds like he's just BORED. br /Somehow, Chris Cornell fits into AudioSlave. Weiland did better on "12 Bar Blues" than he does here. He and the DeLeo Brothers, the VERY underrated and Super-Uber-Talented-Creative Guitar/Bass team, did wonders with Weiland. Certain bands just have that individual, unique way that they project their music and stand out from the crowd. STP had that kind of magic. BTW, I always thought of them as a "Unique Hard Rock Band". br /I am a HUGE FAN of STP and (1988 - 1992) GUNS-N-ROSES....maybe I am just prejudice. Buy it cheap for yourself and decide. Hey, I kind of hate it but you may love it!br /br /BOYCOTT GUNS-N-ROSES AND CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT BUY ANY FUTURE GUNS-N-ROSES CDS OR CONCERT TICKETS. I WANT TO SEE AXL HOMELESS! br /


4 out of 5 stars Scott's vocals = love!   August 18, 2007

This album is, in a stictly instrumental sense, exceptional. And of course the vocals are truly great. But very few tracks were memorable. Still, it's a nice listen every once in a while.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic merger of GNR and STP   August 13, 2007

The writing and the execution are exceptional. Saw them in concert and it was out of this world good.br /br /
