Chinese Democracy good or bad?

After 15 years GnR has finally released the much hyped Chinese Democracy. Has Axl Rose evolved musically, or has he just lost the ability to write rock songs with an FU attitude?

    He has shown that scaring off all the original members and having a revolving door of musicians that occured over a period of 15+ years doesn't mean you'll come up with a classic.

    Chinese Democracy has a few good tunes but overall I didn't care for it. It would have been better if he treated it as a solo disc and not as a "Guns N Roses" album. Cause its really not.

    His FU attitude is still alive but its pointed at his fans.

    It's good but it's just different from every other Guns N Roses album. Maybe it's because Axel is the only original member still left in the band. I'd take Appetite For Destruction any day over Chinese Democracy and yet who wouldn't?

    Sucks. It should have been a solo album. Axl is the only original member of the band in Guns N Roses. Guns N Roses is only good with the original band members.

    I think he has completely lost that ability. That whole album seemed like he was trying to get back his old FU attitude he had in the 80s but it's just not there anymore. And that made for a very boring album.

    I think it's more of an AXL Rose album rather than a GNR . It's okay , but it definitely doesn't compare to the old GNR albums

    Bad, it shouldn't be under the name of Guns N' Roses, it should be Axl's Solo project.
