May 23, 2012Best Hard-Rock Record I've been listen in years. Great work for Slash and Myles again.
The band has to grow even more. But has great songs and compositions that will make people fall in love common to the genre of it. -
May 28, 2012A well composed plethora of great hard hitting songs, from the titular song to the added extras this album just keeps on giving. Each song with it's own personal touch of LA badass that is slash with blues driven hard rock at it's finest and the breathtaking voice of Miles Kennedy, this is one album that doesn't disappoint.
Favourite song: We will roam, bad rain and No more heroes -
May 24, 2012I was pretty disappointed with this album. Save for a few great songs (You're A Lie, We Will Roam, Anastasia), this album is very middling and somewhat dull. The lyrics in the songs are very cliche, though Myles has a great voice. From a musician as legendary as Slash, I expected more than a standard rock record which took no risks in the making.

Jun 30, 2012At first I was somewhat skeptical of this album, and was unimpressed. As I kept listening to it, I have grown to like it more and more. There are enough catchy riffs and lyrics to keep you listening over and over. Yes, there is no Paradise City or Sweet Child O'mine, but still some very good tunes. We have to try not to compare this, to one of the best records ever made. Good Cd, worth buying.

Jul 1, 2012This album is truly amazing and reminds me a lot of the old gnr. Songs like Anastasia are one of slash's best songs ever. The album proves that rock and roll still exists. Yet again myles' vocals are flawless and in my opinion, has the best rock and roll voice in these modern times. The album was all recorded live so it has that raw feel to it. A must have for any rock fan!

Jun 2, 2012Collaboration of great guitarist and one of the best vocals I've ever heard gave us one of the best rock - albums in 2012. Some of the songs have such a great story, solos, and it's all covered with Myles's voice. And the favourites are: Anastasia, Bad Rain, Shots Fired, We Will Roam and You're a Lie.

May 24, 2012Really good old school hard rock. It's great to hear something like this nowadays. Listening over and over... Congrats to Slash, Myles and Conspirators!

May 24, 2012A solid, consistently hard-rocking album. Anastasia may be Slash's best song since Use Your Illusion -- or even Appetite -- with an incredible lead riff followed by a danceable groove and amazing solos. The title track, Not For Me, You're a Lie and No More Heroes are also standouts.

Jun 2, 2012This album didn't stick with me at first, which was disappointing. With each additional listen I liked it more and more and eventually decided it was great. The problem here is that the songs just don't have catchy hooks or big choruses to really catch fire, but the craftsmanship is fantastic. My favorite album so far this year. Standouts: Anastasia and Bad Rain. Duds: none.

Q MagazineOct 12, 2012A load of rubbish. [Jul 2012, p.110]

Kerrang!Jun 29, 2012Apocalyptic Love, the album, is at its best when Slash is operating within the team. [9 Jun 2012, p.52]

MojoJun 25, 2012Carolina's use of a talk box a la Frampton stuck in this listener's craw, but elsewhere the urgency and uncensored filth of Slash's playing is a joy. [Jul 2012, p.82]
