The new, highly-anticipated solo album from former Guns ‘n’ Roses guitarist
In all honesty, this album is fantastic. The sound is huge and varied. Each track has a guest singer, all ranging in quality and fame. Some of these songs are, of course, better than others, but stand-out tracks for me include “Watch This”, “Ghost”, “Back From Cali”, “Promise”, “Gotten”, “I Hold On” and “Starlight”. Particularly good tracks were ones where I hadn’t anticipated liking it so much: Ozzy’s track, “Crucify” is superb; Miles Kennedy continues to show why he’s one of the most under-appreciated vocal talents in rock on his two songs “Back From Cali” and “Starlight”; Kid Rock surprises on “I Hold On”, offering a slow-burning rock song; Ian Astbury is also on top form on “Ghost”, which reminded me of The Cult’s Beyond Good And Evil album.
To truly appreciate the quality of this album, however, you need to listen to it. So, thanks for Slash’s website, here’s a special player for the album:
