1 - Chinese Democracy : this one is skippable for me. it's hard for me not to skip it sometimes but it's so so
2 - Shackler's Revenge : i do enjoy this tune quite a bit; the guitars are definitely worth waiting for
3 - Better : they definitely made it better!
4 - Street of Dreams : still one of my favorites all though the ending "inside of you" part seems kind of tacky
5 - If the World : neat intro with some revamped percussions. very good
6 - There Was a Time : amazing
7 - Catcher in the Rye : amazing continued
8 - Scraped : fucking sweet.
9 - Riad N' the bedouins : AWESOME percussions. i was asleep with the album on repeat and this one woke me up. very reminiscent of 'right next door to hell,' which is a favorite
10 - Sorry : doom'ish, not really my style but awesome guitars
11 - IRS : this song is fucking rad.
12 - Madasgascar : good stuff
13 - This I Love : cannot get enough of this one; deserves to be on repeat for at least 1 hour
14 - Prostitute : lovely track. the ending orchestral piece reminds me of the serenity also exhibited in 'claire de lune'

This has been the high point of my 2008 year. glad to be apart of the history in the process and will cherish this album for years to come
I'm sorry for you, not sorry for me!

for me, the solo is maybe the most shining point on the album ;)

just listened to it all on the myspace - wasnt gonna, but seeing as it was official and legal i thought, "fuck it".

I think it's possibly/potentially my fav album ever (After one listen lol) - i listened to scraped twice coz its fuckin cool.

I was a bit apprehensive about Brian May not being on Catcher, and after some of the comments i was disappointed even b4 id heard it. Well, i love it. I think Catcher is better than the leak.

This I Love had me stunned for a few moments. It's incredibly heart-felt and sounds like some classically composed song rather than a song by a rock band.

The whole album is amazing, though im gonna resist listening again until Monday when i get it for real. :rockon: :rockon:

Listening on MySpace. I Think this is Amazing.

My question is. What music do you think it's gonna be the BIGGEST ONE in this album?

For me is THIS I LOVE!

I can't stop to listen this. So sad and so beautifull.

Sorry for my english, but I'm portuguese.

1. Sorry
2. Scraped
3. Shacklers Revenge
4. Rhiad and the Bedouins
5. Prostitute
6. IRS
7. Street of Dreams
8. There was a Time
9. Chinese Democracy
10. Better
11. Catcher in the Rye
12. This I Love
13. If the World
14. Madagascar
