Chinese Democrazy

Chuck Klosterman reviews the New Guns 'N Roses album for the Onion's AV club. Pretty interesting musings on Axl, making music and narcissism.

Sometimes it seems like Axl believes every single Guns N' Roses song needs to employ every single thing that Guns N' Roses has the capacity to do—there needs to be a soft part, a hard part, a falsetto stretch, some piano plinking, some R&B bullshit, a little Judas Priest, subhuman sound effects, a few Robert Plant yowls, dolphin squeaks, wind, overt sentimentality, and a caustic modernization of the blues.
Has anyone heard it yet? Impressions?
