It is very good. Great to have Myles for the entire record, although I feel that Slash's previous collaborative record had more 'stand-out' songs like 'Back From Cali', 'Starlight', 'Ghost', 'Nothing To Say' & 'Doctor Alibi'. This does have some stand-out songs - 'One Last Thrill', 'You're A Lie' & 'Anastasia' - but it just doesn't seem complete. Maybe I need to listen to it more.
Listening to Standing in the Sun now.
It does to me as well, just seems like a one-take effort-sounding album. Still, it's good to still be getting albums from former members of one of your favourite bands in a couple of years. *cough*.
I was hoping for more Crucity The Dead, Watch This, Mother Maria and We're All Gonna Die-style songs but ah well. Still not bad - and Myles' voice doesn't grate on me, it's more David Surkamp-like than anything. And was this recorded on analog tape again, 'cos it sounds really full of life, like truly live.
but i like it ...is from the radio
