Awesome! Could you PLEASE also scan the review page,as well as whatever track they chose for the "keytrack" for the current months reviews? It should be right under the same page or the next,in grey.Thanks!

Oh,hey.There is another "keytracks" section,where they pick 1 song from a few of the major reviews,and write up a small summary.With Metallica,they had "All Nightmare Long",calling it the definitive Metallica song.Any mention of a Gnr track there?

Wow. A fair review. I'm impressed. Someone actually judged the album on it's own merits, rather than trashing it.


do you think it's possible to judge the album on its own merits but still not like it?  i honestly do not think so.

On a personal level who cares what the reviews say, cause if you(as in each of us individually) like the album thats all that matters.

On a business end the reviews are important, therefor if they need to be "bought" so be it, as it is the business end.

Sure we all like to read good reviews as it helps all of us that have been defending this album for so long, but in reality do they matter in what the album means to each of us?

Each of us as fans should want the music to get out there and for people to love it.  It's not about justifying our defense of the album to random internet asshats. 

But from the purely selfish perspective, good reviews help sell albums.  Album sales spark tours, put butts in the stands, and re-popularize the catalog.  Everybody makes money, and more money = more GNR both now and in the future.

We're obviously biased.  Go to a Britney Spears fan page and they'll probably say the same thing about her new album, but that single she's got out now sounds like all her other ones to me, terrible.

Yes. Pearl Jams second album. Based on it's own merits, is total shit.

And the comparison to the review to Chinese Democracy is apples and oranges...
