Contraband would be a classic album if the tracks from DIFTK to FTP weren't so mediocre.

It's funny that some people look at it like that, I love Big Machine, Illegal I and Spectacle, especially Spectacle, that is one of my favs on the album. So I disagree.

On another note, the start of Sucker Train Blues and that heavy riff is one of the best openings to an album since WTTJ.

I like Big Machine I do agree Spectacle and Illegal I are the two weaker songs but I think it has more to do with the tracklisting.


just too many rockers right in a row.

They shouldve done it like this:

1.STB
2.DIFTK
3.Set Me free
4.Big Machine
5.FTP
6.Headspace
7.Illegal I
8.Superhuman
9.spectacle
10.YGNR
11.Slither
12.Dirty Little Thing
13.LTA


that way it seperates them.

BigMachine,Illegal and Spectacle are the three weakest tracks, they are good songs but when u hear them back to back to back it wears on u some. so had they each been sandwiched between 2 great songs, it wouldve made them even better.


The album as a whole though is amazing.

ilegal eye, spectacle and big machine fucking rock.. Big machine has a great chorus, with true lyrics... Spectacle and illegal eye just have great opening that kick ass.. I think the only downer on the entire album is ftps

Of course, Illegal Eye, which is not one of my favorites on the disc, is one of my favorites live, which is a big contradiction

I like FTP alot, and I'm not a guy that loves ballads

Ftps reminds me of an illusions track like DC.... I like the instruments played and the riff, but for me it has that 80's cheese

It's so odd, because Illegal is one of my favorite's on the disc, while big machine reminds me of a nissan truck commercial or something. Can't remeber the last time I listened to BM, FTP, superhuman & headspace. I think those are the 4 weakest tracks on Contraband. I like the music in Big Machine, just not the lyrics, they seem generic to me.

I agree. They should have rid of Spectacle, and if there was a mid-tempo (and great) song on the 4th place, noone would complain. I would accept even a cover, for example Money.

No way, I love that song.

I don't know why so many people don't like it. It's got a bit of a Queens of the Stone Age vibe about it and has a great solo from Slash too.

Yeah, to me it sounds like Jane's Addiction (especially Scott's vocals) and it sounds great live.

The music is good (although not great), but the vocals are weak. It's interesting you mentioned QOTSA, for me Spectacle's music is close to.... classic GN'R'.  Lips Sealed

it is a fun, solid, rock n' roll album. You Got No Right is one of my favorite songs ever. But, they can, and most likely WILL do better on the next album  drool

I love Spectacle. I don't know why most people here do not enjoy it. It sounds like most of the other songs on there.
