Free Bird Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Battleground is a lot different to what I thought it would be. Still good though.Only listened to the album once so far, but I agree. I didn't even think it was a close call, tbh.How do you like the album after the first listen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Too Far Gone has a great solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) I still find Bent to Fly one of the best of the album. Myles voice is perfect in that song.Bent to fly is very strong. Love Slashs guitar. The solo isn't anything special but his guitar work overall is awesome. And like you say, Myles voice is great but as well are his melodys. It fits the song perfectly. The beginning of the song is pure magic Edited September 7, 2014 by Free Bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Not getting the hate for Safari Inn... Cool track.probably has to do with the fact that it's called Safari Inn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Question to the guitar players. How is Slashs guitar playing on this album from a technical point of view. He never was the best guitar player technically wise. Is it typically Slash, or has it grown? Is it good or mediocre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never was the best guitar player technically wise. Is it typically Slash, or has it grown? Is it good or mediocreClearly technically very high level. Very "in your face" solos.He is getting better and better now.I just miss some ballads with epic solos.To me that's his best work since "Ain't Life Grand". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah, the guitar playing on this album is absolutely killer. The riffs and solos are so strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Just a quick question -where do you listen album? Is it leaked, streamed or ...It was streamed in Australia... so the quality is only 192 kbps, so not the full 320 kbps which what the CD will be. The songs are on youtube.

Axl_morris Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I've giving Bent to Fly a bit more love today. Withered Delilah has this the best intro. Cowbell and the tone of the solo is just very SLASH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skik08 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Worst song on the album? For me it's Battleground as it is just too different for me. I understand why others like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why others like it though.fn' Safari Inn since the beginning! I really like Safari Inn. I guess I'm just a sucker for those Slash tunes where he showcases his abilities. It's pretty generic, not really a song, and not anything special, but it's got that Watch This vibe about it which I enjoy.Also: I like how damn long this album is. Most people can at least like a few songs and there are quite a few styles Slash plays with here, so that helps too I guess.

Simple Rock music with great leads all over it.As well I can't see any negativity in the albums length. There is just more variety to it and chances to get more good songs are bigger. You can skip songs you dislike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablabla123 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I don't think there is a really bad song in this album. Just another great album. Safari Inn, Automatic Overdrive and World on Fire are the only tracks that I don't care about. It's hard to choose the best tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skik08 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) I absolutely love safari inn! It's the sort of thing I want to hear on every Slash album. If they ever do a music video for Savage sun or Unholy, I really hope it portrays the strong message they are getting at in the song. If they ever do a music video for Dirty girl, I hope it's funny as fuck. The lads over at Alter bridge nation seem to be loving the album too. Happy days =] Edited September 7, 2014 by skik08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsfanoldie Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 IMO its one of the few long albums these days that doesn't seem to have a negative to it. I'm the biggest advocate for shorter albums, but I guess I almost feel like I don't want Slash to keep anything in the vault. At some point, I always seem to come around to it and as much as its long (and its loooong), I don't know what you'd cut. It kind of feels like everything is supposed to be there. Maybe because its cause the songs sound different, or I just really like this band, but at no point so far have I thought "you know, I wish this was just a 10 or 12 song album", and thats very odd for me. It just feels like a great album to dig through. Almost like an Illusions thing, where you just want to keep going back and finding more stuff.I'm really really impressed by this effort. Heard the whole album up through Battleground last night around 1 AM and I'm hard pressed for any song that ISN'T growing on me a lot that I didn't already like immediately.

tentonneskeleton Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Haven't stopped listening to Wicked Stone since I woke up this morning. That, Dirty Girl, and Withered Delilah are just blowing my mind right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetchild Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 And another very positive review:http://myglobalmind.com/2014/09/07/slash-feat-myles-kennedy-conspirators-world-fire-review/The album keeps getting better every time I listen to it.This might be my favourite Slash album since his GNR days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
