Madagascar, There Was A Time and Better are all masterpieces to me, that rank up there with some of the top Gn'R songs of all time...

..everything else on the other hand has ranged from good to bland.  I hear songs like If The World and Catcher In The Rye and I wonder to myself "This is what I've been waiting 10 years for?".

I have faith that Chinese Democracy is going to be a good album, but now that we've heard 11 songs (Silk Worms included) I just feel like it's not going to be as great as an album as we deserve for how long we had to wait.

Again though, Madagascar, TWAT and Better are all fantastic songs that I can listen to over and over again, some of the best songs I've ever heard IMHO... these three songs give me hope, it's just the other 8 that leave me worried.
