Of course...

So, what I can recall:

'Serve You Right' - Truly inspired by Aerosmith's 'Last Child/Movin' Out', Joe Cocker's 'Woman to Woman', Whitesnake's 'Ready N' Willing' and Ted Nugent's 'Stranglehold' and that outro vocal melody matches Joe Satriani's 'Ice 9'.

'The One You Loved Is Gone' - Alter Bridge's 'You Will Be Remembered' (intro), Slash 'Battleground' (outro - lalala sequence is a reference to 'Battleground' as the song continues the story of the old one)

'Driving Rain' - Slash 'Standing In The Sun' (bridge, reference to the song)

'The Call of The Wild' - Guns N' Roses' 'Don't Damn Me' (bridge) 

'Slow Grind / Lost Inside The Girl / Sugar Cane' - 100% Snakepit vibe

'The Great Pretender' - 100% Gary Moore tribute, 'Still Got The Blues', 'The Loner', 'Parisienne Walkways'

'Read Between The Lines' - it always felt to me like Extreme's 'Rest in Peace'

'Mind Your Manners' - I find it similar to 'Hard & Fast' and 'Shadow of Your Love'

'My Antidote' - main riff has the YCBM feel to it. Intro sounds very similar to 'Stone Blind'.

this album got great moments, I don't have a favorite, every song has it's moments. it works well as an album, you can hear they had fun doing it. really cool riffs per usual, a whole bunch of Slash solos, some of them really great, strong set of ballads and a couple of experiments. I'm not a myles fan so it's nice that in this release he's easier to listen to for some reason or I got really used to it at this point.

Slash still rocks even if it sounds like he doesn't really push himself on his own but I feel like this is the right album for them and they will develop from here. Still too early but I'm starting to wonder how the next album will sound like and what they will go for.

LTD debuts at No. 9 after first week of sale in Poland. Better than World On Fire if I remember it correctly [well, I don't, WOF was 3rd]. Apocalyptic Love was platinum here though :)
