First official Chinese Democracy review running in Rolling Stone
November 10th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
It’s official. The most highly anticipated release in modern rock history, Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy, has finally arrived.
RollingStone.com has run a 4-star review. Here’s the opening ‘graph:
Let’s get right to it: The first Guns n’ Roses album of new, original songs since the first Bush administration is a great, audacious, unhinged and uncompromising hard-rock record. In other words, it sounds a lot like the Guns n’ Roses you know. At times, it’s the clenched-fist five that made 1987’s perfect storm, Appetite for Destruction; more often, it’s the one sprawled across the maxed-out CDs of 1991’s Use Your Illusion I and II, but here compressed into a convulsive single disc of supershred guitars, orchestral fanfares, hip-hop electronics, metallic tabernacle choirs and Axl Rose’s still-virile, rusted-siren singing.
