Can we post all the links/articles in one thread? Maybe Jarmo or a mod can add the links into this thread as they come in.

good idea if we keep the comments in another thread so only reviews in this one?

like when there were updates and shit from shows back in 06, show updates in one thread and comments of the review in another.

I agree with several of the comments in this review.  I actually dug some of the comparisons made to other songs.  Not nearly as non-sensical as saying TWAT sounds like Bon Jovi.

In Brazil the reviews have been massively negative. The main Brazilian newspaper: Folha de Sao Paulo, and the 2 main magazines: Veja and Epoca have bashed the album like hell...

Thanks dude.

That was surprisingly positive.  I thought Spin was going to rip it.  3.5 out of 5 stars is above average.  Plus, no snide remarks about the old band or anything like that.  That was fair.

It will be difficult to get something better than this, which is by the way quite good. I would like to know what songs do they consider as "fillers".

I've read some Brazilian reviews, they were awful. Why do they have a grudge against Axl? They bashed him more than they bashed any music.

"twist off" is correct.   I still have a bottle left over from the 06 tour.  Maybe I will just have to do that on the 23rd......  ick

that wasn't a review it was a GnR bashing.  I am fine with if they don't like some songs but the reviewer does nothing but trash Axl.

A preview of the 2/5 review in the next issue of Uncut, one of the more respectable magazines in the UK.

http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/guns_n_roses/news/12462

It's interesting that they say some songs are louder than others, with IRS sounding like it belongs on a different album to Sorry. With all this talk of perfectionism, that would be a fairly spectacular oversight in the mastering!

Hmmm...interesting.

I didn't notice any glaring volume differences last night..

Anyone else at the NYC lilstening party notice any?
