Honestly, I like this track better than Modzilla. As a guitar player, though, that riff in Modzilla is pretty righteous. Modzilla just goes flat for me in the chorus. This song has some attitude in it.
Black Heart is probably about as good as this song. Tomorrow, though, to me, is a classic STP song. I think people are letting Chester blind them on that one. Yeah, his voice is a bit whiny on it, but he sounds great on the track for the most part.
Anyway, I am pleasantly surprised at the two songs so far. I really thought, after the Christmas album and then the awful performances a couple years ago that this album was going to be cringe-inducing.
Scott may not have the cache that "STP" or "Velvet Revolver" does, but this stuff is pretty good.
The one *bad* thing here, and this is me LOOKING for something to criticize, since I think the song sounds great, is that it seems Scott has gone back to a lot of vocal layering. A single, solid, main vocal take is not easy, but it usually sounds so much better than a bunch of layered takes. Just my opinion, FWIW.
