..speaking of which: look who’s name is on the album cover: Axl Rose! An interesting appearance, since the rock world has hardly heard anything from the man since he announced a new Guns n Roses album somewhere around the industrial revolution. But in the end, even though Rose helps along on three different tracks, this is a Bach album, and it’s his typical vocals that make that very much so. It’s actually a Skid Row album, to be precise. And well that’s nice for nostalgic value, but today one doesn’t really have a need for it. Except for the fans back in the day. Who are all forty-something and own a Land rover.

 

So what, so good. Because it’s all good fun, and reminds the listener of a rock era that’s disappeared. Especially the addition of the typical Axl Rose vocals make it an experience of reminiscing. But after two or three listens, that’s enough, and chances are you either pick up a Mastodon or Coliseum record, or Skid Row’s self titled. Because frankly, that will do just fine.
