You Got No Right and Slither are by far VR's best songs and probably the only songs I'll ever listen to again.

Damn, this album is one of my favorite rock albums and it's too hard for me to choose just one! Slither & Superhuman are probably my favorite ones, even though there are many songs I like very much, eg. Loving the Alien & You Got No Right. Both Superhuman and Slither are so good that it's impossible for me to choose. :thumbsup: Maybe Pawnshop will help me out! :D

I picked Fall To Pieces. And Slither was close to my first choice. But to be fair, I've only heard those two :giggle:

Do It For The Kids is another one of my favorites. The "Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck!" line is awesome and it's definitely the best riff on the album imo. :bow:

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed "You got no right"  :cool:!

I go for "Sucker train blues" as best track. It's a real kick ass song and the album version with Scot screaming at the end is amazing. I would have chosen "Do it for the kids", though I don't like the album version verry much (the chorus sang by the whole band is a bit 'soft', I think  :smirk:). The live performances are offcourse  :bow:!

If an album comes out, then buy it. If there's a concert you can go to, then go to it. You're not owed another record. You're not owed any inside stories. You're not owed the band to be managed by people you approve. It's just electronically recorded vibrations that you happen to like.

It's a pretty good song imo. Slash and Dave trade kickass riffs, and the vocal melody is interesting and cool. Great lyrics, too.

Yeah, Libertad was pretty bad. I was so pumped for it after watching the band interviews and the video diaries. But after I listened to it a couple times, I thought it was a bit of a let down. Everyone was raving about She Mine, Mary Mary, For a Brother etc but it just didn't connect with me at all.

My biggest gripe had to be the production of it though. Brendan O'Brien did wonders for RATM and STP, but he dropped the ball on this one, big time. Contraband wasn't anything special when it came to the production, everything seemed rendered in the bass frequencies, but at least the riffs were tight and the solos had vigor to them. Libertad, on the other hand, sounded like a collection of undermixed demos. And lord almighty, there was too much pop present throughout the album.

Hasn't put me off the band though - Contraband for me is one of the best rock albums since 2000. Was interesting that the band put out a raw, thumping, darker record when they had next to no time.... you could almost hear the urgency in the music. Then when they had a lot of time to follow it up, they went down the more mainstream sounding route.
