Hey guys, regarding Guns N' Roses' most recent studio release, 'Chinese Democracy' it is worth a listen. I had to listen to it 8, 9, 10 times or so for it to grow on me. But it did. It's a good overall CD, but it isn't Guns N' Roses. My brother says otherwise. Since none of the other Guns N' Roses CDs sound the same, this one has a place of it's own. And he's right, kinda. Although the others don't sound the same, you can still tell Slash is playing guitar. In other words, the CDs may not sound the same, but at least it sounds like the same band. Slash's riffs and solos are unique, and that isn't to be found on 'Chinese Democracy'. To me Velvet Revolver sounds more like what Guns N' Roses should sound like, for that reason. It's an entire band. 'Chinese Democracy' is (Hired) Guns N' (Axl) Roses. It's like when Motley Crue released their one album without Vince Neil. It was an awesome CD but by no means was it a Motley Crue CD. Besides the fact that Vince Neil didn't sing on it, it was heavier than most Motley albums. So basically what I'm saying is, the name is the same, but the content is different. So let the buyer beware, but it is worth listening to. So is Motley Crue's CD, 'Motley Crue'.
Notable tracks to listen to;
- 1. Chinese Democracy
- 2. Shackler's Revenge
- 3. Better
- 4. Street of Dreams
- 5. If the World
- 9. Riad N' the Bedouins
