Sweet guitar playing (Shackler's Revenge is definitely Buckethead styles).<BR/>The second half of "There Was a Time" is some sweet epicness. The album has plenty of tension building stuff, most of the songs being quality listens.<BR/>Oh, I quite like Rhiad N' the Bedouins! haha.<BR/><BR/>One of my gripes is that I would've liked the album to end on an awesome rocker track.<BR/>And maybe sometimes Axl tries to do too many different things in one song. (But at least he's pushing boundaries.) Some of the songs progress in a way that feels unnatural - making it feel very different from the GnR of old, but I got used to that after repeated listens. It is a 'grower'.<BR/><BR/>I'd write my own review but there's so many abstract feelings involved in music that I feel I wouldn't cover all the subtleties and thus wouldn't think my review would explain what I really thought ha.<BR/>Anyway, it's definitely good to at least hear Axl doing his thing again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
