Here are the simple things about Chinese Democracy: Three of the songs are astonishing. Four or five others are very good. The vocals are brilliantly recorded, and the guitar playing is (generally) more interesting than the guitar playing on the "Use Your Illusion" albums.
-
60Yet even if it defies expectations, Chinese Democracy is not the masterpiece that it so desperately wants to be.
-
Even if it came out in 1996, it would still be self-absorbed, turgid, over-produced and soulless.
