This review refers to
Chinese Democracy (CD version).
Firstly, like most, i have been a huge fan of gnr since the beginning and have been waiting for this album for some time....not to buy it, but to see axl rose fall flat on his ass! My feeling is that gnr as a group bought individual flavour to the band and music which created the best album in the world in appetite for destruction. This is not gnr of old but gnr of new and is totally different to what was. The illusions albums were an insight to what was to be expected as axl had already took control of the band and so was mainly influenced by what he wanted it to sound like. Well, gnr is his baby and his alone and this album is totally how he wants it to sound. Now for the admission....not a bad album, some querky parts (spanish guitar?????) and he does sound like he's taken too much helium on some songs, but all in all not a bad album. Not the best out, but not bad. Must be honest though, if i didn't receive it as a present...i wouldn't have bought it!
