I think it was a great CD Axl, and band put together! However, it doesn't quite live up to the line that the original lineup set, with the exeptions of Chinese Democracy, Street of Dreams, Sorry, Scraped, and Better. This is however, a serious classic dudes! I've personally kept up with this album, all its leaks and watched its progress, and I knew exacty what I was buying when I bought the CD, and a VINYL copy along with it. This is a heck of an album. Its had much time to be made and has been very carefully watched, and put together. Think about it, its GUNS N' ROSES! Axl could get any instrumentalist he wants, just about... IF I were him maye I would've personally got people that had never been famous... Anyway. IT is a classic. I love the CD, 5 stars, and all hail Guns N' Roses!
What's great about it: The music from many directions, and even mixed. Metal, industrial, blues, and modern rock!
What's not so great: The reputation its been forced to live to, the original, majestic line up of Guns N' Roses
