I was eagerly awaiting the arrival for this CD, but to my surprise Velvet Revolver Contraband fell way short.  I have given the CD three good honest listens and can't recommend it to any one, let alone have any desire to make copies for my children.  I understand the artists not wanting their intellectual property copied and their music and hard work given away, but to install software on the CD to prevent this is just plain insulting.  Maybe if record companies lowered their prices and paid the artists in a more timely manner people would not steal music.  The guitar work on the album is good but, I feel the next CD from these guys will be better.
