Slash's second solo album features just about exactly what you would expect, sleazy rock n roll in the west coast L.A. glam tradition.  There are lots of gritty guitar solos and the vocal histrionics of Myles Kennedy soars above it all.  Unlike Slash's last solo effort from 2010, that featured a myriad of guest stars, this album features Slash's touring band with gives the album a bit more cohesiveness.  Kennedy is one of the great vocalists in rock today and his presence here on all of the tracks really brings Slash's music to a new level.  All that being said, I don't think this album is quite as strong as the last one from 2010.  The songwriting here is good, but with 14 tracks it ends up having a bit of sameness about it all.  Still, if hard hitting old school rock n roll is what you are looking for, this album certainly delivers.  Slash is playing better than ever and obviously the fact that these guys toured together for over a year has made them a tight as hell musical outfit.  Overall I don't think this one quite rises to the level of its predecessor, but it is a solid 4 star album.
