"Supergroup" with the formation of Velvet Revolver and was very
encourage by their first single Slither. It was a no brainer
that I would pick up the album.
After listening to it just a couple of times through, I was
somewhat underwhelmed by the album as a whole. There were a lot
of good songs, but they weren't great. Out of the entire album
there were maybe 3 or 4 songs total that just blew me away,
while the rest served their purpose. That was back in 2004. So,
how does it translate today in 2012? For me, it's better than I
originally gave it credit for, but it still doesn't quite get
where I want it to be.
The same songs that I loved are still the only ones that I can
listen to on a loop. I will say that I haven't listened to
Contraband much over the years. I still need to really give the
album a serious workout and see if those good songs will ever
elevate themselves to being classics.

Libertad is actually the album I was expecting from Velvet
Revolver when I got their debut Contraband. Overall Libertad is
a much stronger album and it all starts with the writing. The
songs themselves are infinitely more infectious and they sound
better as well. Even though it doesn't have any of the bigger
power ballads from the first album, this is just a great kick
ass album that really showcased how strong they were are as a
unit and left it opened to just how good and big VR could
become. Unfortunately (for the time being) this is their swan
song....er, album, now that Scott Weiland is back in STP and
Slash is doing his own thing. What does it say about an album
when I can say that I like their "country" song Don't Drop That
Dime? A lot apparently when I hate country music in general. By
the way, the song is a hidden track, so it's not listed on the
back cover.
Fave Songs: Every last m o t h e r f u c k i n ' one of them.
The Last Fight gets top billing for me here.
