Lies and Perfidy
Gentleman of the Road
I'm finally listening to this whole album, at my friends'...it's really not bad at all. Some parts (like the backup vox in the chorus of the title track, and the "Ooh, what a good boy you are" bit on Invisible Kid, and the snare in All Within My Hands) set my teeth on edge, but a lot of it is very good. Sweet Amber is what Load/ReLoad should have sounded like, and Frantic is pretty badass...Monster, Shoot Me Again, and St. Anger have their moments as well, and if you ignore the snare, Hands is fuckin awesome. I want to kill Bob Rock, however...and James's vox are wildly inconsistent. I'll have to listen to it more once I get my own copy...however, I'm really too hooked on EoR.
