After 17 years, Guns N Roses have released Chinese Democracy. So what do you think?

    http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses has the entire album up and it'll be available at Best Buy on November 23.

    Personally, I think it's a great album but it's impossible to live up to the hype of perhaps the most anticipated, infamous records ever recorded. It comes close to though...Axl sounds strong and I'd say it's their best since Appetite for Destruction. I'm really digging "This I Love" right now.

    I'm interested to hear opinions.

    Haven't heard the album yet, but this is not Guns N'Roses. This is Axl Rose and a shitload of other people. Without Slash and Axl together, I don't consider it GNR.

    The one song I've heard off of it was a disaster. Honestly, whoever was waiting all this time for it should be way disappointed.

    Plus, it IS Axl and some other guys.

    You're out of your fuckin' mind.

    Appetite for Destruction is the greatest non-Led Zeppelin hard rock album of all time ... period.
