"Catcher In The Rye" - Discussions

[Charity Case]

Well Better is by far the best of the leaked tracks, and I like it better than anything we heard from the 2002 aborted tour. ?So comparing it to that is unfair IMO. ?I agree that the music just isn't good on this demo. ?I hope its one of two things...the sound quality or the fact that it is in some state of incompleteness. ?If that song doesn't change much in the final mix, then, for me, it won't get much replay on y stereo. ?Just too damn boring...kind of like the Beatles to me...boring.

Kudos for trying different things, but please...more Better and less CITR on the final album.

I haven't heard this one yet. ?I am very torn. ?Should I wait? ?Rate the song. ?Is it as good as TWAT?

[The Dog]

wow. I must be missing something ... I've listened to this a couple dozen times now and I cant for the life of me believe you guys think this is better then TWAT or for that matter any of the other leaked songs. Especially "Better" ... but it's all personal opinion I guess.

I wonder though if this had leaked first then TWAT would the reaction be different. Cause we've all had TWAT for awhile and listened to it a zillion times , maybe the fact that CITR is "new" is adding to it's allure?

Again , IMHO , good song but cant touch the other 3. 

Funny b/c I think Better is totally over rated, yet I think this song is a masterpiece.  To each their own right? 

This album is going to appeal to so many different people, I just hope its not TOO much all over the place so that it doesn't have an indentity.  It might be TOO ambitious so to speak.

CITR is such a great song though, went to bed playing it, woke up and put it on.  There were all these screaming kids on the train today and i just cranked up the volume and went to a "happy place" with CITR playing on my headphones...ahhh.

Takes a couple of listens, but all in all I like it. ?For me, and I hate to say this, but the only thing that holds the songs back are the vocals. ? I like the vocals on better and twat, but imo he sounds a little too whiney on this track. Sounds alot like the 02 tour bootlegs. ?

[Freya]

I love it, it's my favourite of the leaked tracks.  The emotion just really comes through on this song. 

[destroier]

CITR Sounds more like old UYI GNR and has a Vintage Feeling...

The Other 3 are more Modern Songs with a touch of Classic Rock Feeling..

All of them are awesome in their own right,...

I didn't expect C.D Demos to be as good....

I want the Real Thing now...

It sounds more like The Beatles to me.

I still think that 9 seconds from the clip sucks, but it fits alright in the song making it not so bad.

exactly my friend!    As long as there is a variety there that well appeal to broad base of people , thats what matters. Again , I'm not trashing this song , I like it .. had I not heard the others yet I would love it a bunch more I'm sure. But right now I find it hard to resist not skipping past it to get to "better".

But the main thing is it seems this album will have songs that will appeal to many different groups of people! 

 

Variety starts now

To all AXL haters, media and critics who used to say that the album doesn't exist... do you have anything else to say?

[Mr.Intensity]

Chris Pittman actually proves his purpose with this one.

Totally agreed...each song is different and the variety is what is going to be the real selling point...something for everyone.   As they say Variety is the spice of life

Everyone left him and yet he can still produce a masterpiece...
