Contraband was pretty damn good

[makane]

Just gave a proper full spin for Contraband and wow, I don't know if it Scott leaving or just that I havent heard it in a very long time, but it definitely sounded better than I remembered.
I can't believe its been FOUR years since it was released. I remember it like yesterday seeing them in 2004. Time flies.

Contraband is better than Libertad.

"Slither" is my favorite song off either although I'll take Libertad beginning to end.

All subjective...

I dont know about beginning to end


Really the only song I skip on CB is Big Machine

On Libertad, I skip Last fight, Spay, For A Brother, American Man, and sometimes Just Sixteen

Big Machines is better live.  I like Contraband alot too; still listen to it on a regular basis.  One has to wonder how much better it might have been (in regards to the guitars) with a different producer.
Libertad is a fine record as well, but as others have stated its got too much of Scott's influence thruout.  There's some quality stuff there, but overall much too "middle of the road" for lack of a better term.
