FANTASTIC! (and I haven't even heard the whole first song yet)  

[Freya]

That was nice to hear.  I don't know if I'm old or what, but the rocker songs didn't do much for me, they all kind of ran together.

But Loving the Alien is an awesome song, with a PinkFloyd/Radiohead vibe and Slash does some fine work on it.  I love it.  

You Got no Right is also quite good.  Weiland does a good Bowie impression there.

This is getting impossible!  It's merely a click away...i will not listen...i can't at this point....waited so long!

[//JK75]

Listening !!!
Spectacle so far... I love Illegal I, very heavy !

[Naupis]

I gotta say the rockers (other than Slither and SMF which I really like) are just not up to par with what I was hoping for. The ballads are fantastic, but again I think FTP could have been tweaked just a bit to take it to that level of classic, but I love it, YGNR and LTA. All that said this is easily the most motivated I have heard the slash/Duff/Matt combo since their GNR days, and some of slashes work in particular stacks up there with some of his better GNR work. I love Scott but the comments I have been seeing about him not being up to par with the level of musicianship of S,D,M is a potentially very valid argument. It seemed that the skeleton of these songs could have taken them to huge things given the right nurturing, which I am just not sure these songs got. I like the underproduction vibe of the songs, but some of them I wouldn't have minded a more polished sound, particularly the ballads. As a first effort though, it definitely sounds good and should get people interested. THe second album will hopefully show continued growth as a band in their musical tastes and direction.

I think so too  

[Fretzo]

This is so good that I'm afraid Axl will have to start from scratch on his new album.

P.S. I was hoping for this album to fail and chinese democracy to be a smash hit but Axl's new songs sound to old and boring compared to these

Just previewed all the tracks.  I'm dissapointed, sounds more like a alternative album then hard rock album.  I like some of the songs favorite other than slither is "sucker train blues" but its a rip off of "right next door to hell" and "garden of eden"   I don't know if you can call it a rip off though since part of the group was in GNR.  Best songs:  Illegal I, spectacle, falls to pieces, headspace,  dirty little thing, loving the alien.  falls to pieces is alright but is a rip off of STP songs "I got you" and "Atlanta".  headspace sounds kind of like a audioslave song  .  Dirty little thing sounds like a motley crue song   .  I'm   on it so far, guess I'll have to wait till i get the real thing and get a few more listens.  I believe it will grow on me since i'm a big fan of STP.  

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

well you 'll have trouble liking anything if you keep comparing everything.

i'm listening to sucker train blues
and it ROXOR
