I'm a younger GNR fan. I've been waiting for this album for over half my life. I've never been so excited for an allbum. I want to thank GNR for finally getting it out to the public. Go to GNR.com to listen to Chinese Democracy. The best song out there

I'm just really amped up about this album. I've heard Chinese Democracy and it sounded good. The vocals are a little different because Axl recorded himself twice in two different melodies, but it's still Axl
What's great about it: It's AXL and he's back!
What's not so great: I've been waiting for this album since the original release date of 1999!

1. Chi Dem - great catchy song "B"
2. Shackler's - great video game song, definitely different "B-"
3. Better - Top notch song "A+"
4. Street of Dreams - One of the best songs on the album "A+"
5. If the world - great new sound "B"
6. There was a time - another top notch song "A"
7. Catcher In The Rye - ok song, 1st impression is album filler "C"
8. Scraped - More album filler, waste of plastic "D-"
9. Riad - the one song on the album I actually will not listen to again, very disappointing song...or maybe I just can't open Axl's head to find the hidden meanings. "D"
10. Sorry - Would be great without the profanity "B"
11. IRS - I have not made heads or tail of yet, not a classic though "C"
12. Madagascar - this song is actually better in one of the leaked versions. In the leaked version there is a pause between "I" and "won't" that makes a difference to me. It should be "I.....won't be told " instead of "I won't be told". This is the one spot on the album that shows too much tinkering and editing. "C+-" ....would have been "A+" with less editing and no profanity
13. This I love - slow love song , beautiful song, maybe one of my new favorites "A"
14. Prost_itute*... - Not a bad song. As good as anything on the radio today, but not very special at the same time. I would have put a better song at the end of the album to close it out. "B" *best buy will not allow me to spell out the song name because they consider it profanity, go figure.
My Summary: I love a few of the songs and would love clean radio versions of a couple others as well. This album has filler just like almost every other CD ever made. The filler is the worst part of the album. After this long, every song should be able to stand alone. Having said this, remember that it is still a very solid album just not quite the perfection we all think is possible from this artist.
What's great about it: Great vioce and music variety through the album
What's not so great: The profanity just brings the album quality down.

I have been a GNR fan forever and I think this album sucks. The lyrics don't make any sense. Half the time it doesn't even sound like Axl singing. I can't believe we waited all these years for this. I think it's time for Axl to give it up.

This album took a minute to really make me change my original speculation. I listened and then listened again, but in the end (when I started to know the words) I could feel it! I have always loved appitite, and I grew to to love the changes G-N-R has gone through. They still are different from all the new C**P out there, then and now! This album rocks! The way he did it without Slash I will never know, but he did. The only thing that would be better is if Slash was involved because I listened to Velvet Revolver and it was not even my style. Keep Rockin!

ANY GN'R FAN HAS TO BE ABLE TO LET THE PAST REMAIN THERE. THIS IS NOW AND THIS IS THE WAY AXL HAS CHOSE TO EXPRESS HISELF. GN'R HAS EVOLVED AND I FOR ONE LOVE IT. THE LYRICS ARE GENUIS..JUST AS THEIR LYRICS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND THE MUSIC IN MY OPINION IS EQUALLY MASTERED. WHAT A GREAT SURPRIZE !!!!!!
What's great about it: the diversity , the lyrics and the music all are exceptional
