First Review Of Scott Weiland's New Album 'Blaster'

[IdahoSTPfan]

Believe what you may......I was lucky enough to preview
the unmixed or mastered version. Album is badass Rock & Roll! Why do you think Scott talks so highly of it.

Yeah, I can't think of ANY reason Scott would speak highly of his own album.


I do believe that it is Badass Rock N Roll, though, whether you've heard it or not.

Haha that made me laugh!

I'm a huge fan of Scott and support all his work whether it's in a band or solo but he does have a tendency to talk up ALL of his releases, which there's nothing wrong with, just thought I'd point it out.
I remember right before 'Libertad' came out Scott said he felt it was his best work since 'Tiny Music' and well, as we all now know, that wasn't the case... It had some good tracks and his vocals were excellent but I would rate 'No.4' and 'SLDD' much higher as complete albums.
I think he's made a similar statement now regarding 'Blaster' but as others have said I do think this will be a pretty solid release and I'm very excited for it.

If Modzilla and White Lightning are actually 2 of the worst songs on the album, then it'll be a pretty good album to say the least.

Not sure why everyone hates on Brett so much?!

Because he's a massive tool that comes into the house that Rik and Ivy built to advertise his shitty website that's comprised of stolen articles or clickbait from other more established and reputable sites and he constantly takes jabs at Weiland, while much is definitely warranted most is just ridiculous (ie boners)

Thanks for the review, have only heard 5 tunes from 'Blaster' and agree with "Modzilla" and "White Lightning" so looking forward to hearing the whole thing,  thanks

Interestingly enough, I was PM'ing with Brett last week and we sort of compared notes regarding the album and I told him my tracklisting varies from the retail version and there is one less song than the retail. Pretty sure you and I were given the same advance promo/demo.

I dog on Scott quite a bit but there isn't much negative on this to crap on. Yeah, some of it is generic. Most rocks though, and it sounds like he's having fun.

I think most people on this forum are going to really like it.

I'm glad I'm not the one getting shit-talked though. I'll bet some of you will attack me now that I posted again. I wish you guys would just lay off Brett. Some of the bullshit attacks are classless.

All good though. I love all of you.

[IdahoSTPfan]

yes vaporized you are correct. they left off another cover to clarify that we do have the exact same thing

Sadly, I have to agree. He did it last night with the Sir Paul/Gaga/Mike Mc Cready  picture and story about some project Gaga referred to in a picture, that had floated around hours prior. He post his link on the PJ 10C FB page.

I looked on his page  and nothing new in that article. Just recycled from other sites, which is again nothing new, which is as you said, Lazy.

Anyway,  it's his opinion of Blaster as we all have our own. Let's see what the real music folk have to saw about it.


PS. I WILL give Brett credit on the interviews he does.

Thanks for the review Brett, looking forward to hearing the album.

And God this forum has gone downhill. I miss Below Empty from 2009

[Slither]

The fact that some of you can't handle the slightest criticism of Scott makes me wonder how you could possibly handle criticism yourself. Good God, you people have some of the thinnest skin I've ever seen in my life. How do you even step outside, much less interact with other human beings?

Also WELCOME BACK VAPORIZED! Just in time to once again swing and miss at relaying information you don't have.

[Vaporized]

Ahhh yeah. Here we go.

What do you want to know about the new album? I too have had it since November. What can I say to prove how mediocre some of these songs are? How cheesy some of them are and also how great some are?

Nice in-depth review, Brett! I have similar feelings about the 2.5 studio songs that have been out now. So, I have a feeling I'll probably agree with you on the rest of it. And, why would he put a cover of 20th Century Boy on there? It's soooo overdone. Every time one of these all-star cover bands, like Camp Freddy, get together, they always do that one too. I think Weiland could dig a little deeper with his cover song choices. He's supposedly this HUGE Bowie fan, but he always does the most over-played ones. Why not something like Black Country Rock? And when he does the Doors covers... always Roadhouse Blues, LA Woman, 5 to 1. Why not something that he could put really do something with like Crystal Ship? I just wish that, if he's gonna do covers, quit doing these festival/wedding band songs that are so over-played. What's next... Brown-Eyed Girl or Old Time Rock N Roll? But I'm looking forward to this album because I do enjoy the songs I've heard, even if they aren't up to par with his classic material, in my opinion, and if those other couple are as good as Brett describes them, I'll be happy with a couple more classics to add to his catalog.

Goddammit, I want to hear this album so bad! If someone emails it to me, you would be making February a very happy month for me! pjferguson96@gmail.com  PLEAASSSE


I did pre order the album on pledge music as well, so regardless, I am still buying it and I am really digging White Lightning and Modzilla!

[StoneTempleBrett]

Due to the people here on the naughty list, I've decided I will not leak "Happy."
