THAT is seriously worse than fucking Spaghetti Incident album cover. That Chinese Democracy album cover is a fucking cop out. And what is up with Seb Bach saying Chinese Democracy is the first of 3 albums....

I am guessing that Axl plans to release two more within the next few years. Which will likely turn into decades. Expect the next sometime in 2023

I'll probably buy this even though I'm not a huge fan anymore. It's an album that's reached such legendary status that it's become a "must own". Quite a historic moment in popular music, this release.

To be honest, I kind of like the album cover.

It's actually decent.... Some shitty parts, more poppy and ballad oriented than I expected, but good. Not great. Good. Some interesting arrangements. Huge harmonies.

Actually, there are several shitty parts. The majority of the songs have shitty verses with cool choruses, I find.

Although, there is some very nice orchestration.

Quite a historic moment in popular music, this release. Funny, I think just the opposite. The apathy I feel towards this album is incalculably huge! It's the absolute antithesis of anything legendary or historic in my opinion.

I think one cannot deny how legendary the hype was. The album does not live up to it at all, but it's quite the milestone that it's actually out in a few days.

I agree that it's a milestone that it actually gets out, if it does, I'll believe it when I see it.

It's out. And it's apparently a Best Buy exclusive only in the U.S., because I found it at Zellers in Canada, 10 minutes walk from my place.

After hearing it a few times, I can say that it is pretty good except for the occasional hip hop loops. Some pretty boring verses here and there, but it definitely seems to be a grower.
