When I first heard that Slash, Duff, and Matt had gotten back together, I was ecstatic.  This album doesn't meet my expectations, being a huge G N' R fan and a moderate STP fan, but my expectations were astronomically high anyway.  My main problem is just that the album sounds more punk rock in places than hard rock, and I hate punk.  The lyrics in lots of the songs aren't coherent and make no sense as a whole, too, but Axl could be that way, too, so I guess it's alright as long as they're listenable.
