Chinese Democracy

Hell freezes over. Dr. Pepper offers a free drink to every one in America. The Chinese government bans it. And you too can reminisce about the golden age of rock with Guns N Roses’ new album, Chinese Democracy.

Chinese Democracy

My favorites include This I Love, Streets of Dreams and Catcher in the Rye.

While there is some synth that disappoints me, the album as a whole is quite good. There are some piano-rich songs, such as This I Love. There are some typically great Axl Rose vocals. And while unfortunately there is no Slash, Buckethead plays 12 of the 14 tracks — and it is a rather kickass performance.

To be fair, there are also some mediocre songs, and some that I find to be attempts at being a bit “prog rock”-ish.

But would I spend money on it? Hell yeah.
