I am amazed at how great and new and refreshing this release is. It is not classic GnR sounding but instead is an amazing full body of work. There are traces of everything, GnR, Bee Gees, NuMetal, Beatles.). The whole album is a new direction for music as a whole. Noone has written music with these kind of chord changes in quite a while. I just say, listen to it as if you are hearing a completely new band and not classic sounding GnR you will love it. It has music for everyone. Complex layers of music and orchestration over great vocal melodies. Great job Axl, this was definitely worth waiting for.
