Customer Review: Excellent
it is PC speaker system but looks like a semi-professional one.

I wish it could be wireless…

Customer Review: Worth every penny and then some
Wow! I bought this set specifically for my home computer because I listen to music all the time while on the internet. I thought it was about time I purchased a real set of speakers and I most definitely made a good choice.

The bottom line: you are not going to get a better 5.1 surround system for the price. The subwoofer pounds and the satellite speakers are crystal clear. Buy this system. You won’t regret it.

Customer Review: Works Great and Looks Great Too!
The clock set it self just like the instructions said it would and it looks great. It is very quite and that is a big plus since we got it to go in our 3 week old baby’s room. I am very glad we got this clock
Customer Review: Stay away from this clock
The clock stopped working in 3 months. The manufacturer confirmed that there is a defect in the design. They sent me another one for replacement. But, again it broke in 2 months. I am not going to contact the manufactures anymore since it will take a long time (1 month) for them to send you a replacement and cost me $10 in shipping.

A pretty good hard rock album, and a nice first album for Slash. “Neither Can I” starts off the album in a dark blues that’s very appealing, and the bluesy feel carries through “Dime Store Rock” to album highlight “Beggars & Hangers-On.” There are a lot of good tracks on this one, and a few misses as well, but it’s mostly a strong album. The songwriting is strong, if less than what it was in Guns N’ Roses. The instrumental work is strong throughout, and the vocals are generally good, though somewhat inconsistent at points. Unfortunately, this never got the play it deserved. To boost sales, the record company insisted on putting adding Slash’s name to the bands name “Snakepit,” turning the album from a cool new rock record to a side-project. Side-projects can be good, but fans rarely get as invested in them as they should, and I personally would rather see fewer sales and greater, deeper fan appreciate for “Snakepit” than increased sales for “Slash’s Snakepit.” But, alas, I’m certain that the record companies would disagree. It’s just a shame that this is less famous than Velvet Revolver, as much of the music is better than that band has produced.
Customer Review: Long live Slash! He is ROCK’N on this album!
I think this album shows a great side to Slash! By creating this side project, I think it opened many doors for him as a guitarist. Two BIG thumbs up!
