Izzy Stradlin - Concrete (2008)

[Rocket Killer]

Can anyone make this pick bigger and the the photo being clear as possible? the dimensions need to be 200x200. I'm trying to have the cover albums in the media player the same size.


Also I'll be updating the photos/ and adding/updating the bio

Just downloaded it and gave it a first listen. 

Good album, with a straight up rock n' roll vibe (well...and a reggae number, of course) and some of the best guitar work I've heard on an Izzy release in a while.

Hey, if you get it can you pass it along?  I entered the new album in rateyourmusic.com, but didn't have large enough cover art to upload.  Anything over 150x150 I could use.

Been listening to it.  It's good.  I like "Bomb", the best. 

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Lyrics and vocals were never Izzys strong points.

The album is good though. Nothing spectacular, but a good ol' rock n' roll record.

You really think so?
I've always like his lyrics Dust n Bones; Pretty Tied Up; 14 years
which have pretty good points of view actually, but that's my opinion, also I rather like Izzy's voice than Duff, but hey who cares at the end it sounds pretty good

Izzy has hit or miss lyrics i think.  After his first solo album and parts of the 2nd, i think lyrically a lot of his songs haven't been all that great to me for the most part.  I still need to get this album.

How does it stack up with Like A Dog?  That to me is Izzy's best recent solo album

[IzzyDutch]

Like A Dog is the hardest one but still it's heavy rock, one of his heaviest after Like A Dog a bit similar to Ride On.  Only 1 acoustic and 1 ragga track, the rest are rockers.. all the songs heave a lot of single note guitar melodies running through the songs which isn't really on Izzy's previous stuff. Kinda reminded me of Hanoi Rocks a bit. Eventhough it's not really diverse compared to Miami it's got clearer production and is a better imo.  You just need to check it out to make up up your own mind

[GeraldFord]

Just downloaded it--I like it. Basicly, it sounds a lot like his other CDs, although each one is different enough to keep up interest. Still say Ride On is his masterpiece.

^ Been listening to Ride On for the past few week in the car on my way to work, it's a great album to listen to when driving

Ride On is one of my favorites too, imo it features Taz's best drumming work on all albums and Rick's finest lead work. It's also get a nice raw sound and has got a lot of diversity, in a way it's kinda like 117 degrees only a bit shorter and harder
