I think YGNR, Fall To Pieces slither and Set Me Free, Let It Roll and Messages are pretty much on par with anything he's done in the past.

I really like it, except for a couple of songs which didn't do much for me on first listen. The biggest surprises to me were the songs with Fergie, Chris Cornell and Kid Rock.

See the post I made on HTGTH for slightly more details.
