OK, this isn't the best album ever, but it deserves a better rating than 2 stars!!! I'm listening to it right now and it is amazing, there is one song with any words that could remotely be considered offensive, and Slash is on tune with some amazing solos. Not as good as Libertad, and Scott Weiland (singer) is a big ######, but it deserves a better review!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Contraband
Parents need to know that most of the songs here are innocuous, but those that do have offensive lyrics pack a wallop, and the music isn't brilliant enough to make them worthwhile.

Awsome
A self defined supergroup falls flat? when hell freezes over! This is the best music around these day so much better than rap. I grew up with Slash, Matt, Duff, and GNR also Scott and STP. If you ask me awsome

best rock group...ever
i cant believe the rating CSM gave this CD. Velvet Revolver is one of the greatest rock groups on earth formed from the legendary guns n' roses and stone temple pilots. so theres a few swear words???? what song doesnt have any?? the wiggles soundtrack?? i think this is a great CD (and group) for ppl who care about real music..not rap. we need more rock bands like VR.
