Metal-Temple rated the album 4/5 saying "Sick not only lives up to expectations, it exceeds them! The sound of the band is mainly blues-rock, although there are some heavier moments as well as some punk-influenced ones ("I See Through You"). Perhaps the biggest surprise is how good the vocals are. Not only does Duff seem right at home; he never sounds strained and the songs are littered with strong hooks and melodies."<ref>[http://www.metal-temple.com/review.asp?id=3590 Metal-Temple Duff McKagan's Loaded - Sick]</ref>.

History

Following Scott Weiland's departure from Velvet Revolver on April 21st, 2008[1] Loaded decided to regroup and record a new full length album and a European tour in the Fall of 2008, with Velvet Revolver being put on hiatus until a new singer was found. After a few jam sessions, Loaded began recording what would become Sick with Dark Days producer Martin Feveyear at Jupiter Studios in Seattle,WA. They released a series of Webisodes during this time featuring footage from the recording sessions for the group's new album [2]which was completed in less than 2 weeks. After signing a deal with Century Media[3], the band changed their moniker to Duff McKagan's Loaded to help promote the band further and an EP, Wasted Heart, was released September 22, 2008 to coincide with their European Tour although it was available before the release date during the UK Tour.

Release

Sick was released on March, 20th in Europe and April 7th 2009 in the US where it placed at number 43 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart selling 1,400 copies[4]. Loaded Toured in support of Sick playing dates in the US and appearing at serveral European festivals such as Download in the UK and Rock AM/IM in Germany. They also supported Mötley Crüe[5] then Black Stone Cherry[6] during their tours of the Europe and the UK.

Critical Reception

Reviews for the album were generally positive, recieving a 3/5 rating at Allmusic stating "Loaded is the sound of a working band working and an old rocker staying sober, kicking out some lead-heavy grooves and sculptured pieces of sleaze."[7]. Metal-Temple rated the album 4/5 saying "Sick not only lives up to expectations, it exceeds them! The sound of the band is mainly blues-rock, although there are some heavier moments as well as some punk-influenced ones ("I See Through You"). Perhaps the biggest surprise is how good the vocals are. Not only does Duff seem right at home; he never sounds strained and the songs are littered with strong hooks and melodies."[8]. The Sun also commented that "bursts into life with the venomous title track and continues with sparkling solos, nifty riffs and heartfelt lyrics."[9]
