So...Chinese Democracy
mberan42:
I can up it to the mediaf!re thread, if people want it. (mp3@v0, for those terribly concerned)
Thrillho:
I'll only believe this when it's in a shop. I'll also buy it, though.

This one is the best. I haven't listened to the album. I probably won't. GnR are on my list of "Bands I Hate the Most" and, to be honest, I don't need to remind myself why.

I read that when I grabbed my Onion wednesday afternoon it basically made me not want to listen to the album, despite his high score of it. This is why. (block for context, bold for main point)

If somebody has that attitude about their music, I could really care less about how it sounds. This quote is taken somewhat out of context, but I feel the point of it still remains. Also, I really hate this statement as well:
--- Quote ---For one thing, Chinese Democracy is (pretty much) the last Old Media album we'll ever contemplate in this context—it's the last album that will be marketed as a collection of autonomous-but-connected songs, the last album that will be absorbed as a static manifestation of who the band supposedly is, and the last album that will matter more as a physical object than as an Internet sound file.

The last album that will matter as a coherent whole? Fucking bull. Maybe in the mainstream, but there's a whole lot of other music out there.

I completely agree. Other than that, i thought the review made it sound like an interesting album, plus, i love Chuck Klosterman's writing.
