Chinese Democracy: Yay or Nay?

[bostonbred]

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.

 

[Tom Petty]

use your illusion was by far and away GnR's best stuff.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Chuck Klosterman just came in his pants.

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

 

[BYH]

Hope it sells six copies.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

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 ****in' mind.

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

False.

i'm guessing you were 12 when it was released.

Non-AC/DC category, I presume?

 

[prezclinton]

I like it so far. It's Guns n Roses. Sounds like them with some modern industrial watering it down a bit.

 

[WaylonJennings]

I don't like the industrial stuff. If I wanted a Nine Inch Nails album, I'd buy one.

Nothing against AC/DC, a band i enjoy, but the above statement about Appetite is wholly true.

Better than "Highway to Hell"?

I wouldn't buy a Nine Inch Nails album anymore either though. With Teeth was worse than getting a BJ with teeth.

I thought Robert Johnson was going to release an album of new material before this clown did.

I think they're close. I've seen both in concert, and I wouldn't even feel comfortable saying which was better, but the GNR show was in 2002 and the ACDC one was sometime after. So not like they were in their prime.

"Street of Dreams" sounds like a keeper.
