Just click on listen to entire CD. It plays all the way through no interruptions!

Pretty damn good, I really liked Superhuman and Fall to Pieces

thank you Sami!

We are about to experience a VR - AB (healthy) competition in the near future!

perhaps i remember alicia (rockgoddess) saying they were basically in the same genre, whatever gets good music back on the airwaves! will be interestering if that eventuates since the VR guys have said some fairly negative things about Creed and Myles had to turn down an audition for VR.

Anyhow i'm going to wait until the 7th when I buy the album, only a few days away! Fall to Pieces is supposed to a masterpiece, but how can the album live up to the hype?

I really like Fall to Pieces, it is a beautiful song. The last one on the cd is good too, can't remember the name off hand.

I liked the entire cd, can't wait to get home tonight to listen to it again!

there have being many saying VR are the saviours of rock and touting this as album of the year. so apart from AB :D any chance that such predictions are correct? saviours of rock is obviously crap but there is the potential to bring good rock back to the airwaves? is it a candiate for album of the year? how good will AB or any other album have to be to take the throne?

okay temptation got the better of me! :D

suckertrain blues is a fantastic opener such a cool grove
do it for the kids ain't too bad at all but not as good as the opener
big machine is very punky and i like it! :)
illegal i-the weakest track so far
spectacle is very different and another punky track but not too bad, using that purple type voice
fall to pieces-wow this song is excellent a very good ballad, this is a song you just want to play over and over. i just hope radio doesn't overplay this one.
headspace-the intro to this is MAD but drops off a bit after that, very cool drumming from matt sorum here. weiland vocal styling of old around the purple era.
superhuman-cool bit of hard rock here, nothing totally special but very solid hard rock.
set me free-we've all this before but this song is seriously cool
you got no right-another ballad this is good bad at all but i prefer fall to pieces
slither-well we've all heard this one as well man the solo is fantastic
dirty little thing-another song that is bordering on punk in the beginning and some cool guitar work from slash.
loving the alien (sometimes)-VR are a hard rock band first and foremost but Contraband has some quality ballads and this is right up there with fall to pieces.

it was always going to be difficult to live up to the hype but they have delievered, i am happy with this effort no doubt. they will obviously be compared to audioslave but i have found Contraband more accessible on my listen compared to the first listen of Audioslave. Too early to tell obviously.....

This is a very good album but AB can pass it! :D

Nicely done handmedown! YEAH, what you said! :D

cool thanks will be buying this on monday for sure! :D
