This album is a hard energetic sonic assault with wild vocals, awesome drums, and gigantic guitar rifts. It's one of the  best albums to come out this year and better than any other album any of the members of the band have made sense "Appetite for Destruction" by GN'R and "Thank You" by STP but those are forever classic albums (like this one should become). It has sounds from both GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS but VELVET REVOLVER also have their own sound. Every song is good.  If Axl ever does release the mystical "Chinese Democracy" it probably won't be as good as this. This will probably be in my CD player for at least three weeks and I know the words to each song.
