Slash - Apocalyptic Love

You can't really go wrong with the combination of the ex-Gunner Slash and the Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy. Not even with The Conspirators: Eric Valentine, Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz. Their latest album Apocalyptic Love is worth your every dime. And I'm not telling this only because I'm a huge fan of Myles and I've liked every album of Slash as well. If you haven't heard their first single You're A Lie  on radio you must have been living in a soundproof bubble, that much it has been on air. Which I must admit is a bit saddening because the album is more than that. I also must admit that this album isn't quite as good as the previous albums from Alter Bridge: those albums have no tracks on them that I wouldn't get excited of. But Apocalyptic Love is solid. It has quality on every aspect and I believe I'll get warmed up for all of the tracks after a couple listening. So far I have three absolute favourites above all on the album: You're A Lie, No More Heroes and Bad Rain. But the rest of the tracks aren't bad either. They just require a bit more from the listener.

One thing though makes me extremely happy and that is the fact that Myles is getting the time on air he deserves. It doesn't matter that some of the attention for him comes because of Slash. Myles can definitely make it on his own as well. But like it's said, any publicity is good publicity and it certainly will help him to bring Alter Bridge to the knowledge of the general public. Apocalyptic Love is said to be more relaxed than Slash's previous studio album and it can be explained quite easily with the chemistry between him and Myles. Most of the tracks were written by those two on the road while touring with one exception: Eric Valentine co-writed No More Heroes.
