    Despite this lingering scent of stale nicotine, alcohol, and leather, The Taking does make a brute impression, McKagan's Loaded playing with a vitality that almost compensates for how they fetishize the past.

    Anthemic opener Lords Of Abbadon, Indian Summer and the gutter-sleaze of Cocaine are the crowd-pleaser, but the main thing is that Loaded sound like a proper band now. [16 Apr 2011, p.51]

    Their third album, The Taking, is a perfectly respectable riff and hook delivery system.
