Not worth the wait, but worth a listen!

Several people have said this album takes several listens to really get into. That's not to say the songs aren't good, or, on the whole, the album isn't GREAT. Because it is! No, its because there's SO MUCH to listen to.
This album is BIG. Its the musical equivalent of a James Cameron film: its big, bloated, long, took years and lots of money to make, and ultimately is something you come back to over and over again. Because there's so much THERE!
Seriously, nothing is worth this long of a wait. But in terms of production, sound, songs...this album has got it. Lord forbid an artist wants to actually EVOLVE, but that's what Axl has done. Its a natural progression...albeit 15+ years worth - from Use Your Illusion 1 & 2.
The guitar work - mostly from the since departed from the band Buckethead (interesting he's the second picture in the booklet) is amazing. Axl's vocals soar, growl, whisper, scream.
Highlights include "Shackler's Revenge," "Catcher In The Rye," "Riad N'The Bedouins," "There Was A Time" (fantastic solo on the outro) and possibly the best track, "This I Love." Each have lot's going on - big guitars, interesting rhythyms, big hooks.
Get it. Listen to it objectively. Its not 1988 anymore. Enjoy it.
What's great about it: Lot's of songs, great sounds, big production.
What's not so great: Some songs drag a bit, wish the CD booklet had more pictures
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lot's of good songs and one truly GREAT song!

You'll like this album if you like bands like Nickelback, Three Doors Down, etc. All the songs are pretty good, there's some real aggressive songs but the best song on the album is "100 In A 55" which is kind of a ballad (but not that slow). Its one of those songs where you will LOVE it the first time you hear it. You can definitely hear this song get big on the radio!
What's great about it: Cool sounding rock album, especially good to listen to in the car!
I would recommend this to a friend!
