Did anybody else listen to the new Chinese Democracy album? What the hell?

How could anybody even call this **** Guns N' Roses?

well, technically it's not. just in name only. i didn't know what to expect, but i didn't expect anything like the former band. can't do it without those other guys.

Well I guess the old analogy about lipstick on a pig applies to this album.

I guess I had my hopes a little to high after listening to ACDC's new Black Ice album (the best album since Back In Black, sans the overplaying). I figured that if ACDC could produce the sound equivalent of awesome, that GNR (or I guess it's GNRINO-Guns N' Roses In Name Only) would be able to squeeze a little more excellence onto a stagnant and shitty rock scene.

My mistake... or should I say, Axl's mistake?

for some reason it's getting lots of good reviews. i don't understand that. for a while i was googling, looking for negative reviews, expecting to find some. but there weren't many. personally i liked aspects of some of the songs. scattered moments here and there. sometimes a single chord choice, sometimes a chorus (shackler's revenge has a good chorus), sometimes another section (the final track's outro is nice). but all in all i just dont know what the album IS.
