So i just checked metacritic again and Guns are 68 out of 100 from 20 reviews. So not alot of movement.
Some reviewers will rate it low just because it's axl rose and there is no slash in the band, etc...
Reviewers are biased...
Yeah but they have included more reputable reviews aswell.

The Beatles 'Love' album from 2006 has an 83 average. Sure it's a remix album, but it's fucking mega.
Fuck all these retarded reviewers that honestly don't know shit about anything.
Point being, don't take this site to heart. CD is a great fucking album and we all know it.

Yeah i understand, it just gives a good idea of how the "reviewers" rate this album.
Please Note: i used the term reviewers loosely in the sentence above.

Metacritic is only relevant for modern bands.

The average fan who has rated the album on metacritic gives it an 8.2 out of 10. That is more important to me than what the reviewers say.

I'm surprised it's getting such low scores. It's really a fantastic album.

It's funny though...
If you look at the reviews, the publications I'd consider more reputable are all giving it good scores...70's, 80's, and 90's.
The publications I've either never heard of (no rip cord? tiny mix tapes? prefix magazine?), or ones I'd consider rags at best (Slant), are the ones giving the album low scores. They really seem to be pulling down the number. If I look at the sources I'd consider reputable, the average is closer to 80, it looks like.
CD is certainly going to suffer from the "over-reviewed" syndrome that you sometimes find on metacritic. It's so mythical in stature that everyone and their grandmother is going to want to review it. I half expect to see a review in the next EGM, and maybe even the next Rachel Ray mag (it's my WIFE'S!! I swear!!).

I'm not. Considering the delight some critics have taken in ripping it to shreds, the Metacritic score isn't all that bad. It's still in the green.
