I find the voice of Scott Weiland too feverish to hard rock ... For simplicity, fortunately Slash is still there. He brings unusual themes for him, the solos are good and varied (better than the last Snakepit). "Let it roll" (which ends fishtail), "just sixteen" and "spay" are good piece, almost everything else is irrelevant for a fan of hard rock. I am very disappointed sound: flat ... Hyper compressed, no fishing. It's very disappointing especially coming from Brendan O'Brian who usually records, mixes and produces pretty good rock (Offspring ...). I bought it with confidence and am now disappointed.
