And the cover art is fucking terrible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slashcover.jpg

I'm not quite sure how to describe the style of that album art, but I believe it's one of the following:

1. Hair metal band's first album, released in 1992
2. 1996 ska album
3. childish, stupid, and outdated

I wish I could share your surprise about the cover art, but have you seen Slash's past album covers?

Worthy of note, the album preorder is on sale at Bestbuy.com with free shipping for $8:

The song on the radio is pretty good.

I will reserve complete judgment of the album until I have the CD and can listen to it as it was intended. Just like Chinese Democracy, I hated the album's web release but loved the CD's crystal clear sound.

I will say this though, I'm not sure how any amount of clarity can help me enjoy Doctor Alibi featuring Lemmy. Slash... what the fuck were you thinking with that song?

He originally wanted Jack White to do vocals on most of the songs. That would have been badass.

I learned how to play By The Sword last night. Bitchin.

Then I learned Back Off Bitch. Double Bitchin.

Then Double Talkin' Jive. Fuck, I'm awesome.

The intro to Back of Bitch is awesome.
