Chinese Democracy Review
The highly anticipated album from rock gods Guns n` Roses. Incase you’ve not been in the loop and don’t know the amazing album that was Appetite for Destruction, made by Guns n` Roses in the 80’ and is one of the top selling Hard Rock/Heavy metal albums of all time. The album in opinion had three of the greatest songs of all times; Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Chile o` Mine, and Paradise City. All three of them were singles on the album. But however former band members Slash, Duff Mckagan, And all the rest of the original line up aren’t even on the album!!!!! The album has been many many years in the making so now let’s see how the album lives up in this review.


The albums tracks provide a nice variety of songs ranging from the slow to the fast to the classic songs by GNR we have come to know and love by them. However being almost decade in the making and having many many artists working on the album it can feel a bit bland and can get very boring after a while.
"Catcher in the Rye""Chinese Democracy""I.R.S.""If The World""Madagascar""Prostitute""Sorry""The Blues""T.W.A.T. (There Was A Time)" "Rhiad and the Bedouins""Oh My God""Silk Worms""Ides of March"
(Tracks not in album order)
So all together Chinese Democracy brings some good music to the table but still falls very short of other GNR classics. The albums sound and usage of Axls amazing vocals and the nice harmonizing of the instruments’ makes this a worthwhile listen. But buyer beware listen to the album on a site like http://www.grooveshark.com/ first before you purchase this album. All together this album is a 4/5
