LOL ! I agree with Duane...Great songs, weak vocals April 17, 2008

Maybe some of Slash's best writing for quite some time on the new CD. The band sounds very inspired and energetic. The vocals, really don't match the music...it's hard to describe, and I really like STP, BUT the timing and melodies just don't seem to mesh with the tracks....I'd like to hear something along what Duane mentioned with the Fozzy CD (which is AMAZING....All That Remains Reloaded)....
The band's gonna make it April 14, 2008
I was a teen in the 90's, and grew into music loving Stone Temple Pilots and the other Seattle bands, and hearing (through hearsay moreso than my own ears) that Guns Roses were rock legends. The 90's ended and so did my partying days, I started listening to different music from Jazz to Symphony Orchestra. I did so mostly because rock as I new it had truly turned Pop, something I still truly despise. All the credible bands and split up and the ones getting all the air time were bands with members like Gwen Stefani, who are more interested in being pop icons and with the look of their own clothes than the sound and intricacies of their own music like a real musician. When American Idol came around I pretty much considered myself and old man and stopped listening all together. Not only were the singers considered the most important part of the music's equation but these singers weren't playing instruments, let alone writing their own music. They were just puppets for the music industries pet writers.br /br /When I heard STP broke up, I was sad but not surprised because Scott Wieland was not much more than a ****up anymore. I'd heard of the formation of what was essentially GNR minus Axle Rose with Wieland in the front seat but I figured that it wasn't more than just a stunt, and nothing really credible would come from the union. Then one day out of the blue I saw an interview with Wieland and to hear him say he's beyond that and has grown up in his own words was actually convincing enough for me to give his latest project a chance.br /br /That project was this album. I also bought their first CD as well because I had read the reviews here at amazon and elsewhere and by all counts the members were serious about their work and weren't in it for the publicity. Their music on both albums prove it. The first album sounds almost exactly like a merger of STP and GNR. Needless to say I loved it.br /br /This second album though, the band no longer sounds like just STP + GNR, there are elements in this album that aren't found in any of the music of either previous band. Velvet Revolver has truly laid the groundwork for their own sound with this album. While I must admit I liked the first album's music more, songs like Fall to Pieces, You got no right, and Loving the Alien blew my mind because I hadn't heard music that good in years and honestly while the sound wasn't much of anything new it was performed and written better than I'd ever heard from STP.br /br /What truly sets this CD ahead of the previous album is the bands growth shown in every song. I can't give this album 5 stars because that's reserved for albums the caliber of Stone Temple Pilots Purple, or Guns Roses Appetite for Destruction where every last song is just incredible. That's not to say this album is without it's gems (so to speak), for me The Last Fight and Can't get it out of my head are every bit as good the best of the previous CD. Velvet Revolver isn't quite to the point of releasing a near-perfect CD yet, but I'd honestly believe they can and they will get there, very possibly with their 3rd release.
 A GREAT BUY! March 31, 2008

I thoroughly enjoy this CD. As far as I am concerned this CD is a bit off their beaten track with some bluesy sounds and of course, good hard rock. Highly recimmended.

A couple thoughts on this album upon first and second play throughs:br /br /- A very generic sounding album br /-I wanted to check the calander to see if this was 1988 or 2008br /- This sure doesn't sound anything like STP, GNR or Alice in Chains or any other hard rock bandbr /- The songs trudge along like I do on a full day at the office - br /- This should be a favorite among the mulletheads in the crowd.br /- Thankfully my local library had this cd to check out, it saved me some cash. I'm returning it now because it sucks.br /- I can see why it dropped quickly off the charts- most people probably used iTunes to download 1 or 2 tracks and called it good at that.br /br /Some of the 5 star reviewers said you could here the excitement and fun in Weiland's voice. Guess I must be listening to an entirely different album. br /br /-btw I'm not some Linkin' Park lovin' poser. My favorite bands include Metallica, AC/DC, GnR (of course) early 7marythree and others. Although I enjoy a wide range of music as everyone should.

Velvet Revolver-Libertad *****br /br /br /From opening riff in 'Let It Roll' to start off the album you know you are in for one hell of a ride. Libertad is a non-stop good time rock n' roll album full of out of this world musicianship complete with tight rythyms and incredible riffs to even rival Slash and Dave's early work in Guns N' Roses and Wasted Youth. And for those who complained about the lack of solos on Contraband, the band debut album this surly will not dissapoint you, even though I doubt see how Contraband could have either, it was the best album of that year, and Libertad is the best rock album of 2007 as well.br /br /Libertad is on a whole different level than that of Contraband, beucase this album is far superior. The band is tighter, the band influences are more noticable and yet they sound more origenal here then ever before, and the songs are just all around better. The lyrics are far more personal this time around if thats even possible. Dealing with what the band knows, drugs, sex, marriage, addiction, and death. A number of the songs are about frontman Scott Weiland's brothers death ('Pills, Deamons, Etc.' 'For A Brother' and 'Gravedancer') and they are three of strongest songs on the album. The lead single 'She Builds Quick Machines' is easily the strongest track while the second single 'The Last Fight' is not far behind, and I guarantee the band will never write a better lyric in their career, it is too good. br /br /Slashs slide playing on the contraversialy amazing 'Spay' so major growth in him as a player. But what shows the most growht in Slash as a guitar player and more importantly as a musician is that he shed his signature guitar tone for one that is more stripped and raw and all around better. Makes this album stronger and more honest.br /br /The bands cover of the E.L.O classic 'Cant Get It Out Of My Head' is melt in your mouth good, infact it is too good to be true. Makes you forget that it is even a cover. The soft spoken melody and tattered delivery from Weiland make this song his. On songs like 'Just Sixteen' and 'Mary Mary' Duff and Matt shine like never before.br /br /Libertad is the album we expected the first time around and almost got but fell short on, and the album that we did not think thay could follow up their debut with but they delivered.
