An unwelcome jungle...
on November 21, 2008
Posted by: RaindropsOnRoses
from NY
I was excited for this album to some degree, but being a big fan of the original Guns line-up, I had low expectations based on the new Guns line-up, which, over the years, has had a roster that changed more than the old-school original L.A.Guns. When I first heard Shackler's Revenge earlier on, I was disappointed. It didn't sound even remotely Guns-like - it was way too NIN for me. I love NIN, and I know that Axl's time with Robin Finck obviously had influence, but there was too much of NIN's sound. I also was disappointed with 'Better', mainly because of the eerie falsetto voice Axl uses in the intro. I'm honestly disappointed. It sounds like a bunch of different bands mashed into one less-than-satisfying CD. Axl is just trying far too hard to compete with the old Guns, and isn't succeeding with Chinese Democracy. It took too many years to complete - and it shows.
What's great about it: Axl. And that's pushing it.
What's not so great: The lack of any consistent sound.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
