Best Album in 10 Years
Posted .Axl Rose has created a masterpiece. On these 14 tracks he tells a story that the world has been dying to hear. This album contains 2, 180 gram records, which means that they are thick and heavy and will stand the test of time along with the music recorded on them. The album is incredible from start to finish. Everyone needs to hear this album. At first it is just good. But after multiple listens, the songs take hold and then they are impossible to forget. Do yourself a favor and get this album. Axl Rose is the last Rock Star. We may never hear music like this ever again. Don't miss out on this peice of history.

Axl Rose is a Genius
Posted .Axl Rose is a genius and anyone who takes the time to write a negative review even before the CD or Vinyl version is not fair. You have a great opportunity to buy an exclusive CD or Vinyl copy from Best Buy. Maybe even buy both like many fans are doing. Buy the music and support the band and give the music a chance before you give it a negative review. That is the fair thing to do. If one is a music lover then one appreciates all music. Great music is great music! Great art is great art! This brilliant piece of art is not about comparing and contrasting Old Guns N' Roses vs. New Guns N' Roses. It's also not about the length of time it takes to produce great art -- so what if "Chinese Democracy" took years to complete -- it is art and there is no time limit on art. "The Last Judgment" is a mural by another great artist, Michelangelo, on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel. It took eight years to complete. It was created from 1534 to 1541. To this day in history it is appreciated as one of history's most amazing, brilliant works of art, which I believe "Chinese Democracy" will also be. Artists work to create their art and if they chose to share it with the world -- that is their choice. Axl Rose is another artistic genius that creates what is in his heart and soul and we are fortunate that he choses to share it with the world and history. Be appreciative that you are alive to witness one of the most brilliant minds (Axl) and bands (GN'R) in history. Many of us young fans weren't around to witness The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Now we are fortunate enough to live in a time where we get to see Guns N' Roses -- and a band like GN'R (both the new and old versions) does not just come around every day/every year. This is a once in a lifetime experience. So buy the music!! :) Rock on Axl! GN'R!!! We LOVE YOU, Your REAL FANS!!! And there are so, so, so, so many of us.

Honestly, it really is awesome...
Posted .I have listened to this album several times. At first I was not thrilled with a few songs...Sorry, If The World, and There Was a Time were not on the top of my list..but after a few listens all of these songs are awesome. Axl's voice sounds great and these are amazing. If you like rock n roll and guns n roses then this album will not disappoint. These songs will be played in my regular rotation for years to come and that itself is worth a 15 year wait.

good stuff!
Posted .i did have reservations for years. i didn't really like the demos,but even in the past GnR demos don't sound good. I liked some songs better after hearing them live. Now the finished product is ALOT better than i expected. Now a few songs <There was a time> if the world, and Better sound somewhat dated to me. would have fit into Illusion 1+2 great. it made me wonder why this took so long. GnR fans will LIKE this not sure if they will LOVE it.

Great!
Posted .Magazine reviews said this would suck. i went out and bought the album and not only were the songs great but the for an album it sounds really good. Plus you can get free downloads for the entire album so you can burn it to a CD too.

Axl's voice is back.
Posted .After waiting years for this, including going to the New Year's Eve 2001 return of Gun's N Roses, it's here. Axl's voice is absolutely incredible. His range going from high and raspy to low and deep is unparaelled. His lyrics have more meaning than any other band from my generation. My personal favorites from this album are, Better, Street of Dreams, If The World, There Was A Time, Catcher In The Rye, I.R.S, Madagascar, and This I Love. Although we miss Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven(Matt) for nostalgia reasons, the new band does Axl justice. And remember this, he's even better live. Just like Appetite and Use Your Illusion's I & II, I plan on hearing Chinese Democracy over and over again. There is nobody better.

Well Worth the Wait
Posted .This is the best album out this year. I have purchased the CDs for stocking stuffers for many family members. I bought the CD and LP for myself. The music here is deep, multi-layered, and excellent. The vocals, guitar work, and lyrics are far beyond those that you can find on ANY other album out there right now. This is a unique and powerful work of art--it is a masterpiece. Note: The LP makes for an excellent show-piece / collectible, as well.

Well Worth the Wait
Posted .I don't know if any album can ever measure up to Appetite for Destruction, but Chinese Democracy is not far behind. Chinese Democracy is a solid effort from Axl Rose. Say what you will about the man, but no one can deny that he is a musical genius. My wish for the band is that we will some day see the "Appetite" lineup reunited, but it's going to take one of those hades freezes over moments for that to ever happen. So far, my favorite tracks are Chinese Democracy, Shackler's Revenge and If The World. Chinese Democracy is easily the best rock album of the year. 5 Stars!
