Product Description

When they exploded out of the gates on their 2004 debut, Contraband, Velvet Revolver were met with as much diffidence as appreciation. After all, supergroups have tended to detonate as often as succeed, and with vocalist Scott Weiland, bassist Duff McKagan, and guitarist Slash all vying to keep the lit match away from the fuse, the odds against this band ever seeing album #2 were even money at best. Surprise! Not only have Velvet Revolver survived three years with unreckless abandon, this album blows the doors off its predecessor. Save a pair of disinfected ballads ("The Last Fight," "Gravedancer"), Libertad is all about hand-grenade chords, drag-racing riffs, and circus-tent choruses. The ageless McKagan and Slash continually gun for the disorderliness of their former band (most notably on the punkish opener "Let It Roll" and its lewd brother "Spay"), while Weiland sounds--knock on wood--positively clean and like a voice of boisterous renewal on tracks like "Mary Mary," "She Builds Quick Machines," and the melt-in-your-mouth cover of ELO's "Can't Get It Out of My Head." Obviously egos have been checked at the studio door, as Velvet Revolver have already exceeded their anticipated existence. And now that existence goes back on the clock, trying to outshine a second album that's head-and-shoulders better than the first. --Scott Holter

Not a huge fan of Suoperbands (Powerstation blew), but this one seems to work. From a songwriting aspect, theyre Meh, but performance is flawless
Format:Audio CD
I'll face up to it, Libertad isn't as good as Contraband. Where Contraband was hard, Libertad wasn't hard enough, Where Contraband was emotional, Libertad was a little cold and stale; But that doesn't make it a bad album. She Builds Quick Machines is worth the CD price alone, and the others are of high enough quality to warrant a thumbs up as well. Gravedancer is a beautiful song that doesn't deserve to be ripped on. This is like the old GnR "Oh, Chinese Democracy sucks because it isn't Appetite for Destruction".
It's a great album, the only difference is it has it's weak spots.

This album is ok, a disapointment next to Contraband, but how could it not be? That CD was one of the best rock albums of all time as far as I'm concerned.
I LOVE 5 songs off this album...
American Man
Get Out The Door
Let It Roll
She Builds Quick Machines
The Last Fight
... the rest isn't bad it's just not my style. Seems like they might be trying too hard to make a modern rock sound, and I love these guys for what they do best.. ROCK & ROLL OLD SCHOOL!!

I've been waiting for the follow-up album to Contraband for so long and this cd has NOT disapointed. Definitly worth the wait. This is by far the best Rock album of the year. Read more

Libertad is a failure. Velvet Revolver is a band going nowhere
Velvet Revolver has released their second album and after a disappointing debut on the Billboard 200 albums at #5 and falling to 19 in the second week- it is apparent that Revolver... Read more
