I have a copy at my CD shop waiting for me, will report. Sofar it has had surprisingly good reviews here in Germany from non.hard rock associated media. Any album with Slash playing where Axl Rose is not screeching on every track is good news to me. I still miss Velvet Revolver, while they lacked GnR's mass appeal and accessability I thought their songs more ambitious and Scott Weiland's new wavish, sometimes off the wall singing a breath of fresh air.
