 Contraband Rocks Mar 23, 2007
The best of G'N'R and STP have one of the best debuts in Rock and Roll in a long, long time. Scott Weiland is in fine form, and Slash is the master shredder of hard rock, pealing off killer solo after killer solo, without the the fickle Axl to bring the proceedings to a crawl. Anxiously awaiting chapter 2.

 Only True Rock Band Out There Jul 25, 2005
This album is simply amazing; it sounds as real rock would sound in the Twentieth Century, and not like the trashy grunts put out by the likes of rocker wannabe bands such as Blink 182, or the sickening wails of Good Charlotte (most appropriately known as Good Grief). The best of the best is here. Get it one way or the other.
Great twenty-first century rock 'n' roll. Jul 14, 2005
A really great CD. Velvet Revolver is an amazing hard-working, hard-rocking band. Rock 'n' roll has been suffering since Nirvana. Velvet Revolver has brought it back. Some other new rock 'n' roll bands you should check out are Silvertide and Jet. Sucker Train Blues and Dirty Little Thing are very similar. That isn't bad though. The more the better! Do It For The Kids is pretty good but not as good as we will hear from the boys. Big Machine and Illegal I Song are better but still not as good as some others that we'll hear such as Spectacle, which is a great romping rock 'n' roll song. Fall To Pieces is a ballad but great as they go. The one-two-three punch of Headspace, Superhuman, and Set Me Free. The latter is my favorite song off the album. Followed by Headspace, then Superhuman so you could imagine how much it means to me that theey are all in a row. You Got No Right is the second best ballad out of the three. Fall To Pieces being the first. Slither is a great rocker and I never tire of it. I already mentioned Dirty Little Thing, and I ain't got all day. Loving the Alien is the third ballad and it's pretty good.

It's Not DualDisc's Fault May 15, 2005
Just a note to anyone who is afraid of buying a DualDisc because they won't be able to rip the songs... With Velvet Revolver's Contraband, it doesn't matter. I bought the album originally when it was released last year. The regular cd's have been encrypted as well. There are ways around it if you really feel the need to rip the songs from the disc, but it's not only the DualDisc format that prevents copying. Just a fair warning. I actually commend artists who are taking these steps to keep their material from being handed out for free online. As for the album, yeah, the DVD side is a bit disappointing, but that doesn't mean that it's not an amazing album. One of the best of 2004 by far. The enhanced sound on the DVD side is fantastic, but if you aren't into that, go with the regular cd version. (But it won't matter for rippers... the cd's actually have a warning label on the front telling the consumer that it cannot be copied... it's pretty easy to see.)

 Don't buy this CD! May 08, 2005
I am one of the few people that buys all of his music (instead of illegal downloading) because I want to support the artists that I like. When I buy a CD I always make a copy so I can burn a back-up, play it in my portable player, make my own mixed cd,etc. These new "Dual Discs CANNOT be copied/ripped on a computer!!!!! I have tried 4 different programs and it wont work. In my opinion it ruins the way that I want to use the music I purchased. I will NEVER again buy a dual disc. What sense does it make if you cant listen to the music the way that you want to enjoy it.
BE WARNED. BOYCOTT THE DUAL DISC!
