Was it worth the wait?

Okay, it's not Appetite for Destruction. But if I were to criticize every album that isn't up to that standard, I'd be exhausted. And while I loved the Use Your Illusion albums, let's face it, there was a lot of filler there. "Get in the Ring" "Shotgun Blues" and "You Ain't the First" only served to lengthen an already epic release.
Like most everyone else, I miss the rest of the band. Izzy especially. He seems to be the unheralded ex-member, but he was a great songwriter, and I feared an album without his influence. What we have with Chinese Democracy is pretty good. Heavy and melancholy, aggressive, but with the ballads to balance it all out. "There Was A Time" and "Madagascar" stand out in what I've heard so far. But what this comes down to is a balancing act. If you compare it to the raw fury of Appetite, Chinese Democracy pales. If you compare it to what is currently dominating the airwaves, it's a masterpiece.
The bottom line here is this: The world needs Axl Rose.
What's great about it: At $11.99 that's less than a dollar for each year we've been waiting
What's not so great: Slash, Duff, and Izzy are not replaceable
I would recommend this to a friend!
