Title: It's great.... and it stinks!
Review: Take a bunch of fantastic and accomplished musicians, put them together in the studio and you're GUARANTEED to have a hit band with hit songs........ uh, NO! Although I can say nothing regarding the musicianship (hell, they ought to teach a class based on the playing on this album), one thing is certain: the songs themselves lack feeling, hooks or anything remarkable. The playing, particularly the guitar, is unparalleled and I often whip this CD out when a guitarist is visiting so I can watch his jaw drop. Bootsy also brings us some cool 'space bass' in spots. This is hybrid music, a little metal, a little urban, a little experiemental. It's actually a shot in the dark musically, as the songs themselves seriously lack charachter and emotion, yet a blistering performance exhibited within. Most likely will only be truly appreciated by musicians, esp. sweep-picking-hammer-on guitarists or any fans of the Collins/Worrell combo. 5-star performance, 1-star songs.
