axl666 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 For me, the standout track is C'est La Vie, which I think from looking at the lyrics for the first time is about domestic violence. Other standouts are Spirit Love (very heavy Alice in Chains influence track) and Fall to Earth. I find fall to earth interesting as the solo at 3.48 slightly lets down the song for me; is it in a different key? Really like the rest of the song and once the solo is over the song builds and builds again. Continues Slash's Godfather influenced stuff, and song is a bit like the solo in Serial Killer as well. Rest of the album overall is good- really good. I don't mind the production as much as some people (I think this might be Slash's St. Anger). I actually think that this my favourite Slash album overall since It's 5 O' Clock Somewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelmi Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 For me Call of the Dogs, Cest a la vie, Fill My World, The River is Rising and Aprils Fool are the listenable songs. Pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuerta86 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 C'est La Vie Fall Back To Earth Fill My World Spirit Love Whatever Gets You By Honestly I love them all they are so different. Even Call Off The Dogs which I didn't like when it was originally released and only heard a couple of times I've grown to really enjoy after the Studio 60 release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycgunner Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I saw the NYC show before buying the album. Fill My World sounded great. Picked up the album and love that track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoking guns Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Fill My World should be getting radio play but no video and Slash didn’t promote it. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Well it's got basically a video like every other song of the record has. But you're right, there wasn't much promotion for it like it was for The River Is Rising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Fall Back To Earth is the highlight for me. I like the whole song but the riff is one of those things only Slash can come up with. Spirit Love, Whatever Gets You By, and The River Is Rising are all favorites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Anyone else still digging this album? I like all SMKC albums to varying degrees, but 4 is probably the only one I can play front to back without skipping a song. Funnily enough, the only song I don't enjoy that much is The River Is Rising. I always thinks Slash seems to choose weak tracks to start his albums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm often coming back to the Live at 60 Studios, album just sounds bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come back to listen to live performances of 4 tracks often and I like the album. A lot of really cool tunes, especially instrumentally. The studio versions of Slash's solos are undercooked imo, but live it all sounds pretty damn good. Fall Back To Earth is a highlight for me. The River Is Rising is a fun little tune. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still listening to this every now and then but like Ralphelmo I watch the Studio 60 recording. My thoughts on this are very similar to yours. Its the only SMKC record that I can listen to front to back. The weakest song imo is The Path Less Followed even though it has probably the best solo on the record. The best songs overall are Whatever Gets You By, C'est La Vie and Call Off The Dogs I think, but it's difficult to tell because the whole record contains easy listening music with not as many highs as their previous albums, but with very few lows. I'm really looking forward to Slash's next record and I'm curious not only about who's gonna sing on it, but with which musicians he collaborated. Would be funny if it's Duff snd Richard.

I don't like any of their opening tracks. Apocalyptic Love was decent but far from the best on the album, World on Fire is weak Call of the Wild meh and The River is Rising is the worst track on 4 imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I think 4 is Slash's best album instrumentally in some time. Very diverse set. C'est La Vie, Spirit Love, Whatever Gets You By, Fall Back To Earth are all pretty cool, and I even really like the siren riff on The River Is Rising. Just needs a real songwriter to collaborate with. Fill My World is the only song Myles wrote above average melodies for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
