A vote for 'Chinese Democracy' - The Boston Globe
Much of the criticisms I've seen for Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy have been fairly standard "I have to bash it if I'm a critic and it's not a favorite band of mine" nonsense, but this one is pretty balanced and humorous to boot. My personal opinion is that the album was worth the wait and Axl Rose has grown phenomenally as a musician. Each song on the album is quality, and even though two of the songs (10 and 14) aren't exactly favorites of mine, but I haven't liked an album this much for a long time. I think the last album I heard that affected me this much was Def Leppard's Hysteria. Some critics hailed both albums as "overproduced." Funny, far more people bought these two albums than would ever read those "critiques."
