I must admit that I was hesitant about this.  You know how the "supergroup" thing more often than not lets you down.  Lemme tell ya', if you're in any way on the fence about buying this, lay your fears to rest.  This is the best pure rock record to come down the pike in a long while.  The chemistry between Weiland & the rest of the band is addictive.  I've played it three times already & can't wait to hear it again.  Haven't had a chance to really sit down with it & take it in lyrically, but Weiland has a very rhythmic approach to his craft that meshes well with Slash's crash & burn style.  All elements blend in the pot & just combust.  "Spectacle" sounds exactly like Beautiful Creatures.  I didn't see any note of Joe LeSte singing on it, but it sounds just like him.  It sounds like Guns, like STP, but with a renewed freshness & vigor sorely lacking in today's music.  I love every song on this; "Falling To Pieces" is killer!  CRANK IT UP!  Da' Wolf
