SamJFeb 22, 2009There's only 2 songs on it which didn't make me consider breaking the radio, and they weren't all that good.

JM.Nov 23, 2008Streamed this steaming piece of overdue dogshit on Myspace. Couldn't make it past 5 or 6 tracks before I started to feel nauseous. Thanks for nothing Axl.

TarquinO.Nov 24, 2008Much worse than I was expecting - horrible production, silly guitar solos that feel totally out of context and daft lyrics. Give Slash a call Axl.

JoeP.Nov 24, 2008It is crap. Guns and Roses has done godd stuff in the past, but this is awful. I think any good reviews are people just wanting it to be good. If it wasn't under the name Guns and Roses, nobody could listen past the first song.

SlyE.Dec 23, 2008So bad I actually thought it was a novelty record. Perhaps 15 more years of production might have saved it, perhaps they should have just retired, either way, I'd rather not have it raping my ears any longer.

LindsayJApr 11, 2009I hated every song on this album. I was looking forward to its release, and was thoroughly disappointed.

RimshotG.Nov 29, 2008Doesn't kick ass at all as rock'n'roll should. Overdeveloped, soulless and boring.

Jun 30, 2012Very over rated, it had its moments. But I think at best it has a couple good songs. The reason my vote it so low, because when you take 15 yrs to make an album, better be one of the best damn albums ever, and this is barely average

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.
-
An outrageously overblown pop-metal extravaganza, Chinese Democracy feels like a perfect epitaph for all the absurdity and nonsense of the George W. Bush era--one final blowout before Principal Obama takes our idiocy away.
-
Soundwise, Chinese Democracy is all over the place.
