Chinese Democracy

I listened to the whole album on myspace yesterday: Link

Pretty good, not worth 17 years of waiting, a few good songs.

15 years, not 17, spaghetti incident came out in 93. the two songs ive heard are descent..axl's voice is just as good as ever though, seems as if the music is lacking something, not necessarily slash, just doesnt have the same vibe that they did back then.

Haven't heard the whole thing yet just a few tracks briefly. I thought Axls voice was not as strong, as least on the tracks I heard. Not sure who else is doing vocals, but, it sure wasn't all Axl.

Almost forgot, heard on radio - Dr Pepper offered free Dr Peppers for everyone when/if G&R came out with new album. They said to look for a coupon on their website. I just looked-nothing yet.

I liked it quite a bit. I gave it a quick once over last night when I got home and was very impressed, it was very eclectic.. ranging from piano driven songs, to very heavy guitar riffs and 80's style solos and even a little latin and techno flavor here and there.

I went back and have listened to songs a few times over in three song increments to get a better feel for each song.

I love tracks 1,3,4, & 6, I am ok about track 2, but not a big fan of track 5.

I had pre-ordered it and received it Saturday. It's OK. Axl's voice is still incredible, of course, but I do miss Slash! I think the main reason that I'm not head over heels for it is just because I don't know the songs. The "oldies" have great memories to go with them so I think that makes a difference. I think, with time, the songs will grow on me! If you are a G&R fan, I would still recommend buying it.

Ace and TJ were talking about it and they said "don't waste your money."

All the more reason to get it.

I heard one track, and it was ok. I don't think I'll buy it.

I got the new oasis last month when it came out, and I'm glad I did. the whole CD is good.

Oasis is a very good band. I have most of their stuff, but the Gallaghers can be immensely annoying.. Liam more so than Noel.

I very much agree with this,currently it is my least favorite GNR album of original material but even this one is **** near perfect.

Anyone who liked GNR music up til this point will also enjoy this album and if they trash it they do so because GNR isnt trendy,hugely popular now because it is stil high quality music.

Chinese Democracy,Better and Madagascar all amazing
