We been gone so long "Chinese Democracy" even came out!
Waiting for the army to return was worth the wait, I'm not so sure about AxHole's SOLO disc. I hear most of it and thought it was interesting but it's not a Gun's disc. His voice sounds like shit on most of it. The Spaghetti Incident smokes this shit even for a bunch of covers . I love the fact that it will be in the $ 6.99 bin in a year !!! It was like listening to Van Halen without Dave. VERY FORGETABLE !! Sorry Axl .
Nothing could be worth that wait, but 'Chinese Democracy' is a grower.
No, it's not GNR and, yes, there are one or two many ballads on here, but there are some great moments on here: 'Better' is a great song and 'If The World' is something that I realize myself in, and 'Madagascar' is epic.
The problem though is that - for all the song craft - there is no DANGER, no swagger. As Badguy point out, where are the riffs? I keep hearing how amazing Bumbledick and Robin Fink are, but Slash has never been found wanting in the riff department.
I auctually really enjoyed it..Sounds like some weird overproduced Use Your Illusion. Which is what you have to go into listening to it..You can't go in thinking you're going to hear a "Night train" or "Mr. Brownstone", You're going to hear modern versions of stuff like "November Rain", etc.
Madagascar, Better, I.R.S., and The Title Track are all pretty good IMO.
That said, Axl now that this is done, its time to reunite with Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Matt Sorum.
"Scraped" & "Riad N' The Bedouins" both contain some nice riffage, although somewhat buried in a rather busy mix. "Street Of Dreams" has a great Queen-esque power rock vibe going on. "Better" and "I.R.S." are also great tracks.
Haterz b damned! This record sounds way better than Death Magnetic.

No, I'm with you. I enjoyed it. I don't think it's a great, or even consistently good album, but there a moments of real class and a handful of great songs. 'Sorry' is a real grower....
