bacardimayne Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) World on Fire is probably better than YCBM.This is probably somewhere between "those Indians shouldn't give us much trouble" - General Custer - and "Hitler wasn't really that bad a dude" - some guy - on the scale of least right things ever said.

ZoSoRose Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Here my little review:1. World on Fire: I was one of the people who weren't too impressed when it was first released, but I actually really like the song now. 9/102. Shadow Life: immediatly loved it. 10/103. Automatic Overdrive: didn't really catch my attention at first, but not bad. 8/104. Wicked Stone: good song, not as good as some people are saying, but it's still good. 8.725/105. 30 Years To Life: One of my favorites. 10/106. Bent To Fly: Decent... 8.5/107. Stone Blind: pretty catchy. 8.5/108. Too Far Gone: it's good, not much else. 8.7/109. Beneath The Savage Sun: best song on the album. In fact, best Slash song ever. 11/1010. Withered Delilah: Cowbell!! 10/1011. Battleground: Yes, Myles sounds great in this song, but the song itself never really clicked with me. 9/1012. Dirty Girl: catchy. 8.5/1013. Iris of the Storm: not really memorable, but good. 8.5/1014. Avalon: not much to say about it, it's catchy... Like all the other songs.... 8.5/1015. The Dissident: where the fucks my tractor? 100000/10 (without the amazing intro: 8.5/10... Don't really like the chorus)16. Safari Inn: thank god a song on a Slash record that focuses on Slash. 9.5/1017. The Unholy: it took me a few tries to listen to the entire song, but I'm glad I did. 9/10Overall: 9/10Best solo album Slash has put out.Do you work for IGN by any chance?lol"This game is repetitive, has awful graphics, is too short, and shuts off every 4 minutes" 9/10- IGN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 World on Fire is probably better than YCBM.This is probably somewhere between "those Indians shouldn't give us much trouble" - General Custer - and "Hitler wasn't really that bad a dude" - some guy - on the scale of least right things ever said.In some ways it is, it's looser and more rock n roll than YCBM. I might like YCBM more in the long term.But the main difference between UYI and WOF is that I prefer Perfect Crime, RNDTH, Garden of Eden to some of of the filler on WOF. But there's some nice slower ones here, Bent to Fly or Battleground. Safari Inn and Unholy kind of cool. I guess there's no classics like Civil War or Estranged. It's missing a couple of Izzy songs and an Axl epic. But there's 7/8 great tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's really good up until Bent To Fly then it really falls in quality and only recovers in a few isolate songs likes Iris Of The Storm and Safari Inn. Was expecting so much more of The Unholy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I wonder if he'll win a Grammy for this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelian Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I wonder if he'll win a Grammy for this album.probably not. He's not really a breakthrough artist, making a huge comeback, or the next big thing. When he won with VR, they were the triumphant exiles from the wreckage of GnR. When Halestorm won, they were/are the next big thing; when Sabbath won, was also the 1st album with Ozzy in 40 years. My guess it will be a band like The Pretty Reckless since they were the 1st girl fronted rock band to have 2 #1 rock singles off the same album. Not debating the merits of whether they deserve to win, just oberving the trends of the last few winners in the rock category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really do not like that one either. And you are totally right, Slash still has that raw heavy sound in some of his new songs. That Wicked Stone song definitely has an old GNR vibe to it. I am trying to think of another band today that still has that awesome rock n roll sound like slash does, but just can't seem to find one. Does anyone know of any?

Free Bird Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 And Black Sabbath. The guitar parts on 13 are awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skik08 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ah yes, how could I forget ACDC. I really can't wait for their new material. Sabbath's riffs on 13 are great, but I would not class new sabbath as rock n roll. Still love them though. 13 was disappointing for me. I preferred The devil you know. Poor Dio =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Heard the whole record as background music as I was hanging with friends last night. They are GNR and rock fans so they were curious to hear it. I think the fact that it was in the background kind of made the music get lost on them, but they definitely enjoyed it. Despite the joke about how every song sounds the same, mainly cause of Myles, they did say it was cool that it sounds like the albums explores a lot of different genres and methods of Slash's playing.Other comments were Myles sounded great, the choruses kind of sucked and weren't as strong as they expected. Safari Inn got a great reaction, with one of them mentioning it didn't sound like a waste of space at all to them. "If I'm hearing a Slash solo record, I want to hear a song that is actually just Slash!" was the exact comment. Another comment when Bent To Fly started was "oh, Anastasia!" which made me think of people here. They also loved the silly intro to The Dissident.Overall, this was probably my 9th time or so listening to the record in full and it hasn't gotten old yet.

ZoSoRose Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I gave a copy to my friend who loves Alter Bridge and Myles. He is digging it.My other friend who loves GNR and Slash (thinks we're all fucked for posting on a forum though, but he lurks sometimes) thought Apocalyptic Love was just alright but he seems to be digging this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsprettytiedup Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Withered Delilah will be one of the best songs of 2014. Oh my god that cowbell...Battleground is an epic ballad with a touch of Beatles in the end.The Unholy is so... dark. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
