Re: The Rolling Stone Review-Chinese Democracy
A very glowing review - I'm sure that didnt' happen by coincidence. Whilst Fricke obviously likes the material (so do I on the whole), Azoff wouldn't have left the first RS review of the album to just chance and the whim of the reviewer.

Re: The Rolling Stone Review-Chinese Democracy
Even though I could probably nitpick the positives Fricke lists, I'm very glad to see a review that's pro-CD. I haven't heard the latest leaks so I don't know exactly what's going on but from what I have heard I'd call it a 4/5 album too.
Re: The Rolling Stone Review-Chinese Democracy
That was a pretty good review. Nice read too. I have a question for alot of you though. If a not so positive review comes out, will it simply be that the person doing the review lacks credibility or any real integrity? I'm getting the sense for any review to be taken seriously it's gonna have to be all out praise for the album. Any knock whatsoever will be shrugged off as an opinion from some dumb fuck who doesn't know shit about music. Please tell me I'm wrong.
I'm very curious to see how this does and hear real people's thoughts not just paid journalists. Hopefully people will feel the same as this guy. Good music is good music so.....

I'm actually looking forward to reading some critical reviews. There are quite a few issues that would make a reviewer foam at the mouth, and at least one of the magazines will bring it up. Blender is pro GNR, but not to the point of blind ass licking.
Re: The Rolling Stone Review-Chinese Democracy
Yeah, if they're just going to be complaining about the lineup, the wait, the cost, the CD being labeled GNR, that smacks of ulterior motives beyond just music reviewing. Just review the music.
James, Blender is gonna put it through the blender, for lack of a better term. They won't give it a good review. Just my hunch. Classic Rock will probably give a good review.
Spin, who knows. Entertainment Weekly will just harp on what I mentioned above and give it average reviews.
In the end, it won't mean much anywhere but on these forums.

Blender has always been pro GNR. I don't have a subscription anymore, but during the dead years they quite often gave GNR mentions, and almost always included a Bucket pic in their articles. So they are open to a post Slash line up.
Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to the Classic Rock review.
