While I’m not sold on all the singers, or the choice of songs, overall as an album, it’s a pretty great listen, with some really tasty lead guitar from Slash.

As for the mix and production? Mike Clink is brilliant. He should be hired to salvage GN’R if they ever intend on releasing a new album.

This stuff sounds light and day better than Absurd, Hardschool, Perhaps and the General.

I don’t think it compares at all. SMKC toured most places after 4 was first released, but missed a lot of places too (like Australia), so it’s not as though they were going through the same places all over again (like NITL).

Hence why this tour is actually called “Rest of the World” tour.

No one seems to care about this…?

I’m pretty excited about it. Apparently the first single comes out tomorrow, and that the album is to follow in May.

12 tracks, rumoured to be all blues covers. Though that’s not confirmed just yet.

Either way, I’m looking forward to it!
