Chinese Democracy, the album - General Debate Thread!

[b]

Discuss the CD.

If you want to discuss a specific song, try to use the specific threads.

Merci,

[Throwbacks]

Well this is how I like it IMO:

1. This I Love
2. Scraped
3. There Was A Time
4. Street Of Dreams
5. Sorry
6. Madagascar
7. Chinese Democracy
8. Catcher In The Rye
9. I.R.S
10. If The World
11. Prostitute
12. Better
13. Shackler's Revenge
14. Rhiad N' Bedouins

This is really just for everybody that has heard it, not spoiling anything MOD's.

My overall grading = B++

Gotta wait till Sunday bud

I'm not releasing anything or asking about an unreleased song. The CD has been leaked and streamed and I just want to know how everybody who has listened to it thinks of the songs in order of what they like and don't like.

[chops]

im not at all satisfied with it, i like it tho. doesnt sound at all like gnr.

also the songs sound like there were recorded like they were (recorded by alot of people and in differnt times).
doesnt sound at all consistent. the recordings were clearly overdubbed (something the original lineup would have frowned upon), and mr rose doesnt sound like anything like is youngerself, sounds like for all these years he hasnt at least done any vocal pratices to keep his voice in shape, his arrogance probably plays a big part in that.

i feel sorry for him, hes a sad lonely old man.

i am so fuckin' pleased with what they did with IRS

but yes i agree

they get a B+

at least there is not as much filler as there was on USI I & II

[Erik T. Rose]

Anyone who says overdubbing is a problem clearly hasnt heard the Illusion albums....

[another.raisin.for.peace]
