It's really him... it's out! ...I buy it immediately and don't even do the grocery shopping, I go back to the car and slip it into the player.
CHINESE DEMOCRACY! On the first hasty listen, I thought: "mmm There's something rotten in Denmark...", I sigh and put it back in the case, I look at the cover and I couldn't help but smile because the last graffiti I made was 15 years ago, and it said Guns n' Roses, it's as if Mr. Rose wants to tell us: Remember..? It's a comeback from the past, by now those writings have been erased, above there are the names of other bands, among them also TOKIO HOTEL!, and I was sad.
That little writing on the wall out of the way is the light, folks, maybe rock will be reborn, they aren't the real GUNS, but the soul is there, the desire too, and in my opinion, a big surprise is just around the corner of that photo on the CD, which you can't see, but it's there, a reunion! It's everyone's dream.
Having said that, I’ll talk about the album, which I don't want to review track by track because many of you have already done so excellently. When I listen to an album, I don't read the track names, I consider it all together like a punch in the stomach, only subsequently do I go on to translate the song lyrics.
I listen to this album practically all day, from sunrise to sunset, and after initially turning up my nose, now the image is clear.
It is a daring work, cared for in every minute detail, every Gunners album has a story of its own, this one continues their story, Axl uses the name Guns n' Roses proposing a completely new and courageous work, for me the best of 2008.
Sung beautifully, I finally hear Axl’s basses again, some new studio nuances, a bit of electronics, but this album speaks and says that Rock is not dead, I'll just say to trust my words which might seem a bit biased, it's not like that, we return to rock guys...WellcomebackToTheJungle!!!!

Do you want to understand that it will never come out???
By KingJudas
It was supposed to come out a good ten years ago but still nothing, it will probably be released this winter and finally we will be able to listen to the new songs from the best glam metal band of the last 25-30 years.
THE GUNS ARE BACK!

"Chinese Democracy is a great album with impeccable mixing and truly excellent songs chosen in the most appropriate order."
"'Sorry' is one of the best on the album, entering my personal Top Three of this Chinese Democracy!"
By MichaelRose86
"The entire CD is the result of Axl’s grace in terms of composition and silences the many skeptics about the condition of his vocal cords."
"The advice I can give to all those who will listen to the album is to have no prejudices, don’t think of the old 'Guns' but instead focus on this crazy, ambitious, discussed project by Axl Rose."
By Anatas
This album stands to Guns N' Roses as the pope stands to Bin Laden.
More simply: this album is fucking awful.
