Title: VR in Classic Rock
Post by: thegoat77 on May 15, 2004, 02:56:08 PM
In this months Classic Rock, there is an exclusive review of Contraband.

The album gets 3 outta 5 stars in the review, it basically says the first half of the album is pretty average but the second half is great.

Also says the best tracks are the slower ones such as Fall To Pieces, Loving The Alien and YGNR. But they also say that Superhuman is prob the best track on the CD.

I'm pretty sure the album is gonna be better than that, they didnt even mention Slither or SMF in the review and they are brilliant! Also thought that Illegal I is called the Illegal Song or something like that.

I'll reserve my judgement til I buy the album in just over 3 weeks, I cant wait!

Yes we all know your opinions. Not sure why you even bring your annoying ass over here.  Anyway, I love both Set Me Free and Slither. I think Set Me Free is a great song and Slither in my opinion is definately brilliant.

Suckertrain Blues did get a small mention, they didnt say anything about the quality of the track although they mentioned one of the lyrics as "someone raped my tapeworm abortion, come on motherfucker and deliver the cow" or something like that.

Sounds a bit weird and spaced out but Scott has the style to pull that lyric off.

They said the first few tracks were the weakest but I am pretty sure STB is gonna be one of my favs

Dave, I'm pretty sure you haven't given VR a change, you prejudged them cos it's GnR without your beloved Axl!
