amazing! 

[Dalshime]

That's a great review. Very postive! I can't wait. It says it's from the November 27th issue. I gotta feeling Guns is getting the cover.

[Spirit]

First review, and we can happily say it was a positive one. 4/5 is real good in RollingStone.  

[LittleFly]

Awesome, awesome, awesome!  This is a incredible review and I'm very very glad we got a good one right out of the gates.  I just hope more reviewers will take the album like this one does.  Instead of "It took 14 years for this???", it's "The songs needed 14 years to perfect and it comes off incredibly"

YYAAYY for Rolling Stone!!

Awesome review. 

I'm glad there are journalists out there who can stick to writing a review about the music itself.

Like it should be.

Awesome Review !!!!!! 

[DeN]

cool review (even if it's a short one for an album like CD)

[dk]

Thanks for the heads up.

The is a great review for CD.

I'm pleased they reviewed the album based on the actual music on the album and not all the other stuff that's usually brought up when mentioning CD.

[MrMojoRa]

Fuck yeah, 12 days and counting.........

[Sharky-dude]

well done, RS. Gotta believe the rest of the critical acclaim will begin to pile up now

[BluesGNR]

Glad to see RS made a positive effort in their review - this should be well received by most of the fanbase. I'm looking forward to different perspectives in future reviews...it's amazing how journalists can put a different spin on the meaning of lyrics, etc. Some of it you wouldn't ever have thought of - not to say they're always right - but the perspectives are always intriguing.

so much anxiety into waiting for this thing. each day passes and we'll get more and more reviews and the next 12 days are just going to consume me. this is incredible.

i hope guns gets the cover of this issue. i'd snatch that in a heartbeat

[daviebuckethead]

excellent!

hopefully all reviewers will be as positive and impartial.

[TWT]

A good start to set the record straight before all the hacks get their chance to talk trash.

[mrarkadin]

What a great review! In a few years they'll turn around and give it 5 stars, I bet.

[cyllan]

Thanks for posting.  It's a great start and hopefully a few more journalists will follow suit and focus on the music too.

[Rainfox]

This is amazing.

Fricke is - BAR NONE - the best rock journalist THERE IS.

I've said it for years and years, and I even met him some time back, when he was in Denmark to talk about the Danish music scene (under the radar) and The Raveonettes and I was there as a representative for www.musikliv.dk. I pulled him aside afterwards and we had a chat. He's very, very cool.

"Yeah, I've been meaning to catch Axl and Guns, but they keep cancelling *laughs*. I had tickets for the 2002 tour," was his blinky-eyed reply to me asking him whether he had heard the new band.

He went on and said that "Guns was one of few inspired rock n' roll bands".

Great review, makes me more excited!

[greekmule]

excellent review.

And there is so much going on in "There Was a Time" ? strings and Mellotron, a full-strength choir and Rose's overdubbed sour-growl harmonies, wah-wah guitar and a false ending (more choir) ? that it's easy to believe Rose spent most of the past decade on that arrangement alone. But it is never a mess, more like a loud mass of bad memories and hard lessons.

the journalist hits the nail on the head with that one.

great review, and rollingstone went up a few steps for me. that review just got me 10 times more excited for this grand album, i think we can expect to start seeing alot of reviews and promotions this week! rock on fellow gunners!
