After waiting years for this, including going to the New Year's Eve 2001 return of Gun's N Roses, it's here. Axl's voice is absolutely incredible. His range going from high and raspy to low and deep is unparaelled. His lyrics have more meaning than any other band from my generation. My personal favorites from this album are, Better, Street of Dreams, If The World, There Was A Time, Catcher In The Rye, I.R.S, Madagascar, and This I Love. Although we miss Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven(Matt) for nostalgia reasons, the new band does Axl justice. And remember this, he's even better live. Just like Appetite and Use Your Illusion's I & II, I plan on hearing Chinese Democracy over and over again. There is nobody better.
What's great about it: Axl's voice and lyrics, period.
