This is what all their fanatics have been waiting for? It sounds like Nelson.
However, Axl's voice is really good, probably the best I've heard from him.

It sounds like they spent the 13 million dollars and 14 years programming 100 Axl Rose-Bots to all sing and shred on guitar at once, and recorded the results.

It's not nearly as bad as that leak from a few months ago. "Better" has some delicious sweep arpeggios!
But the whole thing is a huge overproduced Pro Tools clusterfuck.
Read the NY Times review.

Ooh, and even more fun is the Chuck Klosterman review.
On the aforementioned "Sorry," Rose suddenly sings an otherwise innocuous line ("But I don't want to do it") in some bizarre, quasi-Transylvanian accent, and I cannot begin to speculate as to why. I mean, one has to assume Axl thought about all of these individual choices a minimum of a thousand times over the past 15 years. Somewhere in Los Angles, there's gotta be 400 hours of DAT tape with nothing on it except multiple versions of the "Sorry" vocal. So why is this the one we finally hear? What finally made him decide, "You know, I've weighed all my options and all their potential consequences, and I'm going with the Mexican vampire accent. This is the vision I will embrace. But only on that one line! The rest of it will just be sung like a non-dead human."
He also references Extreme's "Get The Funk Out," my favorite shred funk cheesesteak of all time.

I don't think it's THAT bad.
That being said, the title track sounds like it belongs on stp's core album from 1992.

It's not a bad album, it's just boring. It's an Axl Rose solo album, not Guns. If it really were his solo album, it would be good on its own merit. But an album full of ballads is not Guns n Roses.
Listening to it today, you can really tell that some of these were written around the mid-90s and just have this Soundgarden-meets-Pearl Jam feel to it, but not as good. It took Axl 14 years to write an album everyone has already forgotten about before it's released.

The first song wasn't bad, although I couldn't get past all the thousands axl Roses singing. The rest of it is freaking boring as hell. So, as an end result

Sorry, brother...I know you like that album but I just can't stand it.
On a lighter note, I've been listening to the first four Metallica albums on constant rotation all week. I forgot just how awesome Ride the Lightning really was and is. It's STILL relevant.
Sigh, what happened to these guys? I wanted to BE James Hetfield when I was a kid.

15 years later Axl's voice still makes me grind my teeth. It's fucking awfull.. Someone I know said that Slash should pick up Sebastian Bach for Velvet Revolver. That seems like it would be a good mix there.

lol i know, many people don't like it. I was just being goofy as usual. It has been awhile since i gave ride the lightning a good listen, i'll have to do that tonight.
I liked "Shackler's Revenge". I still haven't listened to the entire album, but buckethead is on that song, and i like the chorus.
On that note the Sneap forum did a MoP cover making fun of that one...
