Stream the Full Slash Album Now
Slash is set to release his self-titled solo album May 10, but the kind folks over at Aol. and Spinner have made it available for your listening pleasure now. Slash enlisted the aid of numerous musicians for this effort including Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Cornell, Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother, and Lemm from Motorhead.
That is a pretty impressive list, but it grows even more interesting when you add in the likes of Iggy Pop, Kid Rock, Dave Grohl, Duff McKagan and Maroon 5′s Adam Levine, all of whom appear on the album. Even if you are not a Slash or Guns n’ Roses fan, I would check out this album. I am not a huge fan of either but am intrigued to hear what will come out of a collaboration of these artists with the legendary guitarist. I am currently giving the album my first listen, and I have to say that its got Slash’s fingerprints all over it thus far, but it does not seem stale or lackluster, and his use of the albums’ guests thus far has been impressive.
To listen to the album for yourself, just head on over here.
Album Tracklist:
‘Ghost’ (featuring Ian Astbury)
‘Beautiful Dangerous’ (featuring Fergie)
‘Nothing To Say’ (featuring M Shadows)
‘Crucify The Dead’ (featuring Ozzy Osbourne)

New MGMT Album Streaming Now: Initial Thoughts
In case you missed our tweet, the new MGMT album got leaked so the band kindly put it up on their site for you and me to stream for free! I have been wanting to listen to the album for some time now – o, you too? – and now I get to. First impressions on my end are as follows: I feel that the album takes a definitive turn from the indie anthems that saturated “Oracular Spectacular.” Does that mean that the album is a lesser effort than “Oracular”? I personally do not think so.
In my opinion there is more of a flow to this than there was on “Oracular.” The tracks spill together beautifully, creating much more of a cohesive “album” feel. Don’t get me wrong – “Oracular” was one of my top albums of 2007/2008 to be sure, and had this album preceded it, I am fully confident that the buzz around the band would have been much different. The hits that are present on “Oracular” enable MGMT to create “Congratulations” and for it to be accepted. They established themselves with “Time to Pretend,” “Electric Feel,” and “Kids” and are now able to wander in new directions without risking as much. Right now, my favorite track on the album is probably the upbeat yet wandering “Brian Eno.” Hit the link below to go check out the much more psychedelic and chilled-out new MGMT album. Hit our Facebook page or twitter with your thoughts on the album.
Cheers.
