Naupis Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Not for Me is one of the best songs Slash has been a part of since he was in GNR. His solo, and little lead in are fucking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I like parts of songs. Anastasia minus the riff and any time Myles is singing is amazing. The rest is meh. I'd say I was disappointed if I had expected anything more from this. Edited May 14, 2012 by tuyfuvk17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my main problem with the album is Myles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grouse Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Fuck if slash were to be keeping a certain song for a guns reunion it would certainly be anastasia. can you imagine izzy/duff/axl parts on that song. One word.....damn!Even the drums have got a sort of steven feel to it. Edited May 14, 2012 by grouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunblues1978 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Standard post-GnR Slash album; a few of really good songs scattered amongst a bunch of mediocre ones; very average songwritingYou see glimpses of what he's capable of songs like Anastasia but for the most part it's "paint by the numbers" once againSeems he simply isn't willing to work with or can't find a singer/songwriter to work with that will push him. A lot of people thought Myles would be "the answer" because of his vocal range but that wasn't really it. It's more of a songwriting and push/pull issue than it is a vocal range issue. But the hardcore Slash fans will gobble it up, post glowing reviews like it's a cross between Zeppelin II and AFD, and he'll keep doing what he does, which is fine in a lot of respects.

Is it the album of the decade? hell no it's it's not. Slash is capable of so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapitch_77 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'm almost done listening to it. It reminds me a little bit of the snakepit albums, in the sense that it's a well balanced album. The kind of album you listen to without skipping songs. Velvet Revolver has a bunch of really great songs but I can't help but skip some songs that I just find kinda boring. It's not the case with Apocalyptic Love. Good songs throughout the whole album. I'm absolutely not disapointed. The only thing I would suggest to Slash is to make more songs that last longer, 6 to 7 minutes, even more than that. But I'm nit-picking here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grouse Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) They'd better play Anastasia when i'll be seeing them a month from now rock1And they'll also better play carolina, it's fucking awesome.

I sure love my talkbox Haha, yes the talkbox is awesomeAnother thing I'd like to add regarding Apocalyptic Love, a few songs have a gnr vibe (to me at least), like Standing in the sun, Anastasia, Not for me, Carolina... It's been a long time since I didn't hear that kind of vibe in a Slash record. We need more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matinator Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) was uneasy when i heard the samples, but i kinda love this record, reminds me of appetite meets ain't life grand, with a little AB for good measure. But that's just my opinon, Ijust like seeing slash working with a singer that can match Axl's range. Edited May 14, 2012 by The Matinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original GNR Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I'd like to see Slash and Myles do more songs like Anastasia on their next album. They are both more than capable of making those kind of epics - we've seen Slash do it on the Illusions albums and Myles do it with a few songs with Alter Bridge (prime example being the song Blackbird). I think the reason most songs are 3-4 minute straight up rock songs is simply down to the fact that that's what Slash wanted. It's not that he isn't capable of more ambitious song, it's that he wanted this to be a straight up rock n roll record. Maybe on the next album the guys will experiement a bit more. Anastasia shows they can do it. Edited May 14, 2012 by Original GNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose! Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I kinda expected more of that epic riff to be in Anastasia. But needless to say, wow! This song's probably up there, if not at the top, with one of his best works since GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 theres nothing wrong with the 3-4 minute songs, they absolutely rock. and i was disappointing by the lack of epics/longer songs on the last album so i am totally happy to get Anastasia. Its so good! Great, great, album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuddMckagan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 From what people are saying about Anastasia, it sounds gucking epic. There's still 4 hours before I can listen to it D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
