Chinese Democracy – Guns and Roses

 I spent the weekend on and off checking out the Guns and Roses new album Chinese Democracy on MySpace.

 The begining is pretty dissapointing especially for those familliar with the repertoire beyond the hits except for some occasional and sporadic visits of the real AxlRose, some decent guitar solos and a hint of Arabic harmonies in “If the world” but nothing that resonates. But then comes song number 9 “Sorry” and brings the entire experience to a different level. From that point on its uphill. Now I am sucker for metal ballads and “Sorry”, “IRS”, “Madagascar”, and “This I Love” match the expectations and hype of the  14 years of long waiting for the next GNR. 

These are the songs that got  the least plays on myspace of the entire album as of tonight and its a pitty. I guess the perception is that you put the best songs first and  the rest are space fillers.  This has never been the case with GNR.

So if you listen to the album, perhaps start from the end and work your way until it starts going downhill.
