Not bad. AC meets Pink Floyd meets Def Leppard, with a modern twist on all three signature sounds.

Not bad. I rate it a 7.

I really enjoyed it...it reminds me of a mix of Hey Stoopid era/ACAS bonus tracks/Mankind plus lyrically its very much an AC song....can't wait until the rest of the album drops next month

Not bad but it ain't sounding anything like LITD or Killer, which Alice referenced. Too sterile and studio / guest musician sounding. He has a killer touring band that drips with attitude and I wish he would take advantage of that. Have to hear more before I spend any money on it. Fingers crossed.

Did anyone else catch the "Vicious Rumours" reference?

Got to be honest it didn't grab me on first hearing. Very ACAS sounds more like an album track rather than a single! Maybe a few more listens and I'll get hooked.

Not bad on my first hearing, but no Killer sound at all.
That being said, I was never a fan of the hits/singles in general.
Hopefully there will be some more creative tunes on the album.

I'm sure there will be many more GREAT songs on this new album, well every Alice album is good in my opinion except Along Came A Spider.

I thought when it came out you were raving about it while everyone else hated it

Much better than I'll Bite Your Face Off. Snide lyrics, has a garage rock feel to it.

A good start.

Actually Si, I didn't become a member here until 2011 after ACAS was out for a while. But it was W2MN that I was raving about actually while everyone hated it and people still hate it to this day. While even currently I still enjoy W2MN quite a bit.

Ah yes, you are right.
And yes, W2MN is a great album.

There's a part during the guitar solo that reminds me of the music from the shower scene in Psycho. I'm sure this was intentional. Nice one, Alice.
