[Your Fan Reviews] CHINESE DEMOCRACY THE ALBUM

[misterbrownstone]

misterbrownstone's review:

the album is swell.  Sorry is the best.

[DrRedFox]

the demo is fortune and fame, but i can hear it pretty clearly on the album it is definately perversion and pain.


also, wtf is up with that missing 3 or so lines in Better, and the last bit of CD is missing. also, who wouldve guessed the lyric in madagascar was "My'd own denial". i have never once heard anyone say the word "My'd". wtf?

new info was posted by bp saying axl didn't authorize the booklet we have now and is very pissed it came out liks this

Well seeing as i have been listening to some of these songs for years now and only a few new ones i just heard recently i have to say im already bored with it, although i really enjoy This I Love.I guess i spoiled it for myself, i just hope they follow up with another album.i could see it being amazing to someone who hasnt heard any leaks though.my favourite song always was street of dreams(a.k.a. the blues) up til 2006 when they took out the guitar at the start and after he sings"the blues", so i will stick with my live version from boston 2002.it almost makes me sad that its over,so really hoping for another album.i wana see it sell good and at the top of the charts

Grade 18/20
Favourite Song: Better

I received my copy this morning and after a dozen run throughs, i concluded that Better is still my favourite track... it doesnt disappoint at all, how good is Shacklers Revenge!!! Loved that track too.
     The title track is a 'beat you over the head' introduction to the album which wakes you up nicely and with the driving beats and guitars, is guaranteed to have you headbanging by the second minute. Street of Dreams is still a beautiful song which in my humble opinion rivals November Rain.
     I hadnt heard There Was A Time before listening to the cd and at first i wasnt sure about it, i definitely liked the second half of the song though. Scraped, another great track though i found i had to listen to this second time around on its own and not while listening through the rest of the album, i think by now i felt kinda like i'd eaten a 7 course meal, very satisfying but leaving you a little overstuffed.
     I loved Riad, great track, thats my sons favourite too and IRS looses nothing at all, loved it totally.  Anybody else finding the chorus keeps playing through their head??
     For me Madagascar lost a little from the live shows... in the live shows the beat dominates the song and really gets you moving and that one high guitar note that done live seems to cut through the air like its a tangible thing that you can grab, does not come across so well here... i think thats a shame.
     The big surprise for me on this cd was This I Love, i hadnt heard it before the album and it was a welcome simplier addition at first until you actually listened to the song.  I felt a kind of embarrassment listening to it because it was so obviously his soul that was laid bare in this song, the pain he was experiencing was so overwhelming that it saturates through the song until you feel like you did when your best mates marriage had just broken up and you were trying to offer comfort when she was sobbing in your arms.  I thought it a very emotional, honest and heart breaking song...
     Prostitute, hmmm well... i dont think this one makes my top three favs list....

Hello everyone!

For me the whole album is great...fuck the word great...I can not find the words to describe this masterpiece.

It is an art that hit u right in the middle...listening song by song...and than over again and again...and now I realize that whole Chinese Democracy is in me...part of me...Is the stuff I needed...[/i[/color]]What GNR did is awsome! and Axl is the king...we should call the 11.23.2008: The return of the king! Axl thank u that u didnt give up! Thank u from the heart! Whant u to know, that all loyal fans have a faith in u all that time!

I guess Christmas comes earlier this year for me and other GNR fans  !

Damnit I can't stop playing Chinese Democracy!! lol. It just gets better with every listen. Astounding album. Playing it through a good set of speakers is great but it really is something else again when you crank it through a decent set of headphones.

Fave tracks at the moment are:

Sorry

This I love - They have to release this as a single...amazing. Amazing potential for a fantastic video too. Was this track going to be on the soundtrack for 'What Dreams may Come?' Awesome movie btw

Prostitute
Better
If the World
TWAT

How many times a day do you guys play it?! Lol Mrs is getting sick of me cranking the album so IPOD is primary listening source now! Love iT!

To all the CD haters, as Axl says in Sorry.. "Just shutup and sing!!...."

The album is great.


Second album should be fucking good eh friend.

[tamatt27]

My favorite at the moment is Scraped.  I do hope they release Sorry after Better, then Street of Dreams, then Scraped, then This I Love, then Prostitute.

[Axlcrazy]

I fucking love this album!!  Right now it's about all I can think about. There's always a different song in my head, right now it's "Sorry", very Floydish, very intense, incredible!

[Swamp Fox]

I'm going through the same addiction problem.  Last time this happened was when I got Use Your Illusion 1+2. Favorites at the moment are This I Love and Sorry.  And Better never gets old.
