its alright i guess. I think people are expecting it to be the old GNR which it will never be. SounRAB way over produced for its own good. But i guess you can expect that when you spend 11 years in the studio.

All around the net and even at Best Buy where consumers are rating their purchases and not reviewers, Guns N' Roses frontmant Axl Rose's new release Chinese Democracy has pulled off the release of the decade. 14 years in the making, the new album was never thought to have a release date and some gave up hope long ago.

Was it worth the wait? Consumers and artists, as well as newspaper reviewers all seem to agree..... yes it was.

"This may be the revolutionary album that singlehandedly kicks this Emo movement back out of mainstream and brings some real rock and roll back".

Chinese Democracy can be reviewed on the GNR myspace site and purchased exclusively at your local Best Buy (or on the best buy site) where the record is slated for release effective immediately pending the clock striking 12 tonight.

I got the thing in the mail the other day. It has some alright songs that sound like an extension of UYI. I can understand why Slash and Duff quit and did not like the direction it was heading, however, a lot of it still sounRAB "Guns N' Roses" to me. It is very heavily produced. There are like 3 pages of production notes in the booklet, sometimes as many as 5 guitarists and 4 keyboard players, plus bass and sub bass. It's a bit ridiculous.

I do think Chinese Democracy is a great single and sounRAB very GNR, and is better then most stuff out there now.

I'm more excited to see if there is actually a couple more albums in the can ready to come out soon as rumored.
 
I never seen it as GN'R. I knew it wouldn't sound anything like the old GN'R we're used to. If you expect something like UYI you will get dissapointed. But if you're open-minded and give the album a chance you will that it got its qualities.
 
Different and new... lol. Streets of Dreams isn't a spawn off of November Rain? PUH-lease. Play them both from the start together and you can barely tell the difference. The key's are different, but the songs sound musically identical.
 
Hey Red, what's up.

Having been spoiled by endless "catchy" rock and pop tunes growing up in the 60s and 70s, it took me a long time to adequately like original music again, when the old standarRAB weren't enough. So when I hear the new GNR release, I'll surely give it a decent rating also.

That's one reason I'm on a campaign to get as many CRAB as I can handle. I just bought 200 used CRAB at Rasputin's for 50 cents each. Also, I like the simplicity of having the music in hand and slapping it into my sound system. It's amazing how many good tapes are out there if you compromise your tastes just a little.
 
It sounded like they left the sex, drugs and rock n roll direction and went with a lets slit our wrists in a bathtub kind of deal. Album = fail.
