Review says, "Slash's solo album is miles better than Chinese Democracy."

I don't get how people will complain about brothels, but keep funding the whores...it just baffles me.

i love both records, but cd is my favorite out of those 2

Slash's record is decent. but it's lacks, imo, that something a little special and different. The only track that stands out for me is Nothing to Say. you dont expect Slash to do a full on metal type song, but there it is. It's different, the vocal is great and it kicks ass all round. There's a few cool moments but overall it lacks inspiration for.

CD however, is very diverse, certainly complex (the mini debate that is isn't complex is ridiculous) and very emotive lyrically. It certianly doesn't sound dated, quite the opposite imo.

But really it doesn't matter. people have different taste's. I'd bet the people who preferS Slash's record over CD also prefer AFD over UYI. that's fine. nothing wrong with that, as said, it's just different preferences...

slash's album is decent, but way behind CD. way too mainstream and predictable.

"Yeah man. it like you know,  conforms too much like you know man" (in the voice of a rebellious young scamp)

It a simple, un-pretentious rock record! It's a good record to put on when you have a party or something, that's what it's for, and it rocks!

^ its also at times boring and downright uncreative.

Slash's new album is awesome. He allowed each guest singer to adapt his/her's style on their track and it worked out for the most part. Myles Kennedy is just mind blowing and I had always dreamed of slash and him working together. I still would like to see Myles doing a song or two with Axl. I have never been a fan of Kid Rock till I heard his work on the album and the rest of the artist including: Dave grohl, Chris Cornell, the guy from wolfmother and Maroon 5 are great as well. I missed some vocals on the Grohl/Duff song which I think is the weakest song on the album. Overall is worth it every c
buck. Have you heard Back from Cali? Starlight!? By the sword? Man I love that album. With that said, it would be dumb to compare Chinese D. With Slash. It would be like comparing Dog food with cat food.

At least there is no shredding/Super Nintendo noises on Slash lol. Nice bluesy and melodic solos, something I missed a lot with CD.

[Tronx]

fuck it ...I say CD, Slash album im more of the same....VR,

[suckerpunched03]

it sounds like an uncoordinated mess of decent ideas that did not materialize

cd or slash, or both?

[mooney]

CD sounds like every working idea possible was explored to me, so im guessing he's talking bout Slash's album, 2na.

Easy decision, in my opinion. There's really nothing to talk about right now. Leave it in the main section, where it might actually lead to a discussion.

Ding ding. We have the winning reply to the mods' hand-wringing dilemma.  Pretty simple actually.

On topic, it's difficult to compare CD with Slash's record - it's like comparing apples and oranges. Both are great albums but neither sounds like GNR - both are missing key ingredients.

I like GUNS N' ROSES album CHINESE DEMOCRACY!

slash's album is generically boring,lyrically uncreative,sorta like the vr albums.
