As if to preemptively counteract the argument that his Playboy financial advice column has made him soft, Duff McKagan turns in his hardest record in recent memory with The Taking. Taking full advantage of Pantera/Slipknot producer Terry Date, The Taking rumbles with a bone-rattling low end, its guitars and bass hitting with an underhanded force. It's visceral enough to excuse the under-formed songs and the vague feeling that this is the work of dyed-in-the-wool rockers railing against the dying of the light. 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. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Duff McKagan is a founding member of both Guns `n' Roses and Velvet Revolver. He has sold over 100 million albums in his career.The Taking is the brand new studio album from Duff McKagan's Loaded. It is the band's third studio album and the first to feature new drummer Isaac Carpenter. The album features 11 new songs, which continue the band's trademark blend of hard rock with a punk edginess that makes them instantly identifiable. The songs were written over a period of time in late 2009 / early 2010 and the band went into the studio in August 2010 with renowned rock producer Terry Date (Slipknot, Pantera etc). The result is Loaded's most accomplished and most hard hitting album to date.
