Have you met people? They'll eat up anything if there's enough hype around it. Including dogsh**, as evidenced by the fact that this album went platinum.

f*** GnR. The only good thing to come out of this band is the solo Slash made in November Rain, and that was only like a minute or two, AND at the end of the song!

I keep on seeing the same stack of Chinese Democracy in my local record store and the price keeps on dropping 50 cents every two weeks or so. They're down to 9.95 now so I doubt anyone will download any of this for $2.00 a pop

If the World, Better and the title track are fun to play, those are the 3 I got. How would you buying it for $12 and ripping it to your Xbox 360 work at all in Rock Band? I don't think that guy understands the concept...

cwolff: Put your crack pipe down. I've heard it and it fvcking stinks. I was glad I didn't waste any of my hard earned money on that over produced steaming pile of crap. There have already been several releases this year that wipe their a$$ with Chineese Democracy and the year is still young.

The album is good. All the negative comments surrounding it are the mainstream bandwagon crowd.

Yes I am a prick!!! I am assuming you were going somewhere with that? What does me hating Chineese Democracy have to do with me being on this website? I fail to see the correlation between the two. Grow a braincell.

I think Chinese Democracy is a masterpiece. I've listened to it everyday since its release. That's six months. I've only listened to a few albums by Led Zeppelin and The Beatles as much. Every song on Chinese Democracy is unique and great. The album is perfectly balanced.

Gnrs C.D cd isnt bad,....aint like old gnr, but i didnt hate it, sometimes people just go with the flow and bash just because its the thing to do,...u know like metallica.....but sometimes you gotta forget your head and grab your balls....and say what you feel even if its not the most popular thing to do or say .......

Considering the less than spectacular sales of Chinese Democracy, I'm not so sure it can be played off as a trend. I myself gave the album a few listens (based off the recomendation of a good friend, an archeology professor, actually) and just couldn't get into it. And (Gasp!) all this without any negative input from other people or reviews. I simply didn't like it. I'm not going to talk smack or insult the band, I'll just refrain from buying or listening. I guess some people hold to a higher musical standard and won't compromise their values based on a bands' past accomplishments. I'll put that last sentence out for Death Magnetic as well.
