The album was produced by Eric Valentine and features multiple musicians including four of the five members of the Appetite for Destruction era Guns N’ Roses lineup: Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler.
This album has its pros and cons. Slash, being such a legend in the guitar world, has contributed very little in terms of solos and riffs. Infact, the only riff based track on this album is By the Sword(featuring Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother). There are other songs in this album which are completely unbearable to listen to if you're a true Slash fan, like the one featuring Fergie on vocals. I mean Fergie? Really, wtf was Slash thinking? Songs like Gotten(featuring Adam Levine from Maroon5) is too pop based for Slash fans (like me). Each song on this album sounds like a song from the singers band/project. Songs featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmeister and songs featuring Dave Grohl/Duff McKagan(instrumental) have some good solos in them but apart from those to songs Slash hasn't really put out solos in any other songs. A good album for people who just like to listen to 'good music' and don't care about the artist. As for a Slash fan like me, this album doesn't really have much to offer apart from 2-3 songs. An okay album overall.
Rating - 3/5
