After reading many news articles and reviews about this album before it came out i was kinda unsure weather to buy it or not but in the end i did and after listening to it a few times i have adjusted to the new sound that Axl has made into Gun N' Roses and i kinda like it and can now listen to the whole album without skipping any songs. Now yes this album is a mix of music that some people may listen to once or twice then never want to hear again or not wanna listen to because it isn't original Guns N' Roses but in reality there hasn't been original Guns for 19 years so get over it and give Axl a chance seeing as it has some good tracks on it like Chinese Democracy, Street Of Dreams, Catcher In The Rye, I.R.S., There Was A Time and sorry being personal favorites. Also 1 more thing, People need to stop saying this isn't Guns N' Roses because it isn't the original line up or its just musicians axl has chose for the band or because slash isn't in the band, its a band of musicians making and playing music and even the original line up was all brought in because of axl and in all truth the band started because of axl and as much as i love the other line ups and would love to see the old band it will most likely end with axl too.
