Negative Positive
Title: Clear Channel Riff Rock
Review: This album doesn't blaspheme Guns n' Roses or Stone Temple Pilots in my opinion, but I'm not infatuated with either band so that isn't saying a whole lot.The production on Contraband is just polished enough to remove all the soul from the songs. None of these numbers are all that well written either, so they definitely could've used some heart. Even the best cuts on here are generic enough to have been written by any pseudo-grunge practitioner on your local eagle nicknamed rawk radio station.My advice is to skip Velvet Revolver unless you're a fanatic of any of the bands these guys used to be in or you've just fallen in love with the stuff you heard on the radio.
Is the review positive or negative?
