This record is very big. Big in every way, production, expectations and content. Axel's vision so far exceeds what the old GnR were probably capable of 20 years ago. Does a movie director use the same cast for every movie, no. If so after a couple of movies we would all stop watching. Axel has done what only a very few are able to do. He has transcended GnR. by making the name of a band just that, a name. Regardless of your musical preferences there is something here for you to love. Chinese Democracy isn't a $13 million dollar record it's a priceless record.
What's great about it: After a few listens it really grabs your ear and demands you to hear it.....
What's not so great: Never Complain, be happy we can go to the store and buy music
