A work of art, which ....

Long ago an old hat, even 1000s of times up and down part, I have struggled through to reviewing this.

For this I must go back a little ....

Fundamentally it really is extremely rare for me that my album completely equal like the first preview. I was skeptical in this work all because, as is well known, from the original band nurmehr the oblique "F ++ ku all" frontman Axl Rose's left. But Chinese Democracy is one of the few albums that I liked right away while you listen.

Well may one album to remain permanently interesting for me not to open up fully at first hearing. It has to keep up with each time new surprises. And this is truly the case. Every song is so full of arrangements and a variety of instruments that they all are not recognized at once. I found this album really up several times in recent years, is down and has been able to truly discover something new every single time.

There are songs that would, in my opinion duchaus fitted onto the large works of the band.

Riad n'the Bedouins example is hard and fast, have a little less produced and fitted loosely on Appetite for Destruction without the Industrial deposits.

Prostitute recalls Coma on Use Your Illusion I.

In addition to harder songs there really ingenious ballads ("Street of Dreams" is a dream of a ballad that could easily fit fitted on Use Your Illusion.).

In addition, Axl Rose has however developed, has gathered some of the best musicians around him and comes up with some quite unusual, and even progressive sounds on ("If the World", for example (though not prog sounds, but a good example for new innovative sounds) was getting used to for me - nothing sounds less like the old Gunners, as this title - but I like to repeated listens really good)..

Even without the added really brilliant Guitar God Slash, has this album in addition to some of the best Guitarrensoli the last decade. I missed Slash second to none.

Many a time I asked myself what would have come out, the original band had released an album. Thank God this is not so, because so was Rose its full creative potential and controls so innovative at a new musical era. Where Slash and Co go musically where you left off - even if it still insanely good, honest music is created - Rose risked something. I like not always and not everyone, no album in recent years split tempers as this, but "F ++ ku all" - "Then it takes me just 15 years ..." - Rose, this is pretty much the same. I think time will prove him right, because this has the potential to become a classic.

Conclusion: Do not give up at the first preview, it pays to start multiple passages. For the old Gunners fans possibly even a test of patience, here please expect a rehash of old classics under any circumstances. For me, a little masterpiece and thus a whopping 5 star value.
