It’s another Tracii Guns poop project.

This got so much praise here that I downloaded it and listened to it last night.

1. The music is good. There is no denying Tracii's talent
2. Did Jack Russell's testicles ever drop when he was a kid? His voice is so high pitched.
3. The lyrics have zero substance.
4. When Jack Russell is singing about wearing the crown and jumping off mountains, it is disingenuous bullshit. The guy can't even stand up and sing at the same time.

Nothing like a good custom made insult! Bravo!

Who actually wrote the songs on the record? I'm going to guess that Alessandro DelVecchio at least co-wrote them. He's chief/staff writer for Frontiers and has literally written hundreds of songs for the label.

Thank you, good sir!

I kept rolling my eyes listening to those stupid lyrics.

I don’t get the respect Traci gets as a guitar player /WRITER
Yeah his covers sound good and some of his work with LA Guns rocks but damn…. the guy can’t write a lick that’s worth listening to again if a gun was put to his head. The “reunion” with Phil should’ve brought out his best as their time is limited.
Only1-2 songs are worth listening to after 3 albums.
Wish they would’ve continued with Stacey Blades, those records he performed on and wrote were amazing.

Here are the first few that come to mind...

Don't Look at Me That Way intro/riff

Speed intro/riff (kinda sounds like Don't Look... but it's different enough)

Ya, I tried based on the praise, and was not impressed. Agree the sound is good, but everything else is completely forgettable.

Complete and utter generic, assembly line shit, written by the Frontiers in-house writing team. Devoid of any soul. Could have been performed by any “super-group” they decided to form that week.

[Vince Neil Eats]

Tracii isn’t a songwriter. Never was. Don’t underestimate the amount of writing Cripps and Nickels did on those first 4 records.
