a funny trend with reviews for chinese democracy

[dave-gnfnr2k]

There is something I find humorous about the reviews that are coming out for CD and im sure the trend will continue.

They are giving CD a bad review because all the songs are not hits, maybe they think it should be because its taken so long. But most albums that get good reviews have 3 or 4 great songs on it and the rest are filler. CD only has 4 or 5 songs that they are calling filler and the rest they like yet CD is still getting worse reviews.  This is a trend that will probably continue.  If most bands put out a cd with 4 or 5 great songs they would get a 5 star review, CD has more than that and they are going to get a 2 or 3 start review.

Another thing. IT seems the reviews are based on one listen which is stupid on gnrs part.
CD is not an album you can listen to once and get a feel for it, you need to hear the songs 3 or 4 times to let them soak in and show you how great they are. Only listening to the song once, esp since its so different from old gnr, they are not going to like it.

Take chin  dem the single. The first time it was played on the radio people calling in were like WTF was that, but each spin more and more people started getting into it and then start requesting the song.

Another trend that I'm seeing is that they either say Sorry, TIL, CITR and ITW suck while saying IRS, Rhiad and TWAT are amazing, or vice versa.  Kinda odd.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Yes that is odd
Because IRS and Riyadh are filler IMO while TIL nad Sorry are the two best and if the world is great.
As for CITR, the new way the song is is medoicire IMO, its not nearly as good as the leak.

Horses for courses I suppose.

I also would like to have more actual rock songs than balladish stuff on CD.

I'd put Better with the Rockers and TWAT with the hybrids along with ITW

[DrRedFox]

sorry is one of the best tracks on the album

I did have that with rocker at first but it is kinda poppy then has that metal part in the middle.

This is not a good album at all for a come back. Not enuff rockers.

It will be hot for like 2 weeks then die. It will get dissed hard and Axl will go back into hiding.

It's really sad Axl used his grandpa vocal on Madagascar. That was the best song and kicked ass when I heard it at the VMA's and he kills it. Axl is a clown.

The only thing they are doing bad review because everyone been waiting really long for this album. I mean in my opinion this album is going to be fire. Whatch when this album comes out everyone will be talking about it. Its going to have great reviews after its release.

No everyone is going to be to took 20years for this shit?

This shit is not going to attract new fans. Maybe some 40+ year olds.

I agree about the madagascar vocals, he works on an album for this long and those are the best vocals he could use for it. Also the vocals on scrapped are shoddy in places.  You would think every lyric would sound perfect since he tinkered with everything else for so long.   This album could have been a 9 or 10 easily but its going to drop to an 8 or so because of some of the choices he made. (ie using those maddy vocals, screwing up citr, and putting IRS and Riyadh on the album)  I like riyadh but he should have used checkmate instead and another hard rocker instead of IRS

[CalumFarq]

sorry is one of the best tracks on the album

Agreed
