Maybe they'll take years to solve, but right now I think that overall, every song on this album is tied to freedom of oneself, and the liberation of their soul (if you believe in that kind of thing).
From the moment you press "play" on your stereo, Axl takes you on an emotional journey that doesn't let up until the disc stops spinning.
Virtually every emotion is explored on the album: anger, love, happiness, regret, betrayal, deceit, etc; its all here.
As each song passes, more and more weight is no doubt being lifted from Axl's soul as over a decade of built-up demons and emotional dilemas pour through the album; full of aggression at the begining, and ending on a blissfully melancholy note of what sounds like someone whose finally at peace.
Great post my friend, i totally agree!
