Chinese Democracy Reviews?

[oldgunsfan]

too me, the only review that will matter is my own

[oneAXLinamillion]

I think People who is doing this job are people that haven't come to a solid point in their life and so they trow their anger to nearly everyone they review.

So i don't care that much of this fuckin review...people will buy it because it will be one of the greatest record ever done not because it's 5 0f 5 stars rated or so

The only review I care about will be the one in Rolling Stone.  They'll probably have David Fricke do it which isn't the worst thing but his reviews are sometimes questionable.  He gave Contraband 4 out of 5 stars for one thing.     But I gotta admit when I first heard it I was really into it but it has not stood the test of time nor can it compete with any of the GNR leaks.  But I trust Rolling Stone's taste in music and I'd love to see it get a perfect 5 star review which they've only given to 2 albums in recent years (The White Stripes' "Elephant" and Beck's "Sea Change.")  Both of those albums are masterpieces by the way.

I agree with Rolling Stone more often then not and usually with David Fricke. RS has (in the past) been guilty of and admitted to reviewing an album without even hearing the whole thing. But Fricke is almost always fair and honest.

Rolling Stone, Playboy or the NY Post are all reviews that i tend to agree with

[ComeOnAxl!]

Queer. You!

I've never actually read a Playboy interview but I've heard that before. I personally can't wait the lamest of all the reviews which I'm sure will be: Entertainment Weekly!

Why would theirs be lame?? That is the only magazine that gave a good review of TSI. They have always been pro GNR.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

But all their movie reviews are negative.

Thats because movies suck now.

I can't remember any review of theirs I've ever liked either. That magazine has gotten worse and worse over time.

Well, I haven't paid much attention to the mag in years, but they used to be very pro-GNR. The reason it has gotten worse over time is the worse quality in movies and music.

My prediction:

Next GNR album; average score, 3/5 (or equivalent)
Next Britney/Christina/Shakira/American Idol album; average score, 4/5.

So why care what reviewers say? When we get some actual critics with more musical credibility than "I've been reviewing albums for years!" Then, maybe, I might listen. But for now we're stuck with the opinions of failed sportswriters and t.v. columnists and I, for one, would be happy to never know what any of them think about anything.

Personally though GnR is one of my Top3 bands of all rime depending on the version of the band, I really enjoed Christina Aguilera's last album and am looking forward to her next

Oh trust me, I listen to just about every type of music out there. While GNR is definately in my top 3, I still listen to TONS of different music. I certainly don't think that other bands/artists shouldn't get good reviews compared to GNR.

The point I was trying to make oringally was the bias of reviewers. For example; Pink Floyd. They put out a so so album w/o Roger Waters and the reviewers just shit all over it soley because Roger wasn't involved. Then in '94 they released a SIGNIFICANTLY better album that also got panned by reviewers again soley because Roger wasn't on it.

That to me is ridiculous. I don't think both albums should've gotten good reviews just because they are "Pink Floyd" albums. I think the good one should've gotten good reviews because it was a good Pink Floyd album.

I fear the same thing is going to happen to Chinese Democracy.

^^ I agree with that sentiment about the bias against Axl, and the subsequent reviews about CD; personally, I don't think it will get good eviews no matter how good the album is jst because of the facts you stated....

f you read a earlier post, on this page even, the only review that wil count to me is my own....

I also think he might get a fair review from playboy, the NY POST, and RS magazine

I buy Rolling stone (my country version), last 2 Issues. only because they had Axl on back (The greatest cover issues of all time) There are interesting story bout Axl in the past.and the second edition because there are reviews about Guns , Im so happy.altought it just only one pages.reviews about the Hammerstein show and the fight with Tommy hillfaggot.there are good reviews.
so i think i can trust RS.don't know the rest.
