    Guns 'N' Roses Chinese Democracy Nov 23 & a free Dr Pepper

    Funny, at first I found Axl's ending lines flat and bending up to pitch in "If The World" annoying, now I sing along at full volume in the car. Those opening lines are an example of how the electronics are helping loads, I think. His voice was never that pure in the upper reaches. "Shackler's...

    Guns 'N' Roses Chinese Democracy Nov 23 & a free Dr Pepper

    Really, really digging this now. It's become my #1 in the car. Despite (or perhaps due to) the apparent electronic manipulation, Axl sounds fantastic, and the vocal lines and melodies are really working for me. The guitar is all-around great, and the juxtaposed styles/tones fits perfectly. The...

    Yup, agreed. I suspect even Axl wouldn't spend a year on each song. This album's growing on me quite a bit, and I'm really digging some of the tracks. "Better", in particular, is one I've gotten into quite a bit. As apparently processed as it is, I just really enjoy his voice. And the sound...

    Grabbed it yesterday at BB along with new Rush BD. Some cool stuff on there, and Axl sounds better than I expected, although to Paul's point there appears to be quite a bit of manipulation of the vocals (Vocoder or such) that may have been needed to bring them on-key. I thought it went a bit...

    I saw RW last summer and TFC numbers were the ones everyone took a chance to sit down and take a break during. Not I, however, and I suspect I was pretty annoying to those around me as I yelled "She bravely waves the boys goodbyyyyye again!" with Roger taking the low part. I was spot-on, thank you.

    Guns 'N' Roses Chinese Democracy Nov 23 & a free Dr Pepper

    That's how I've always thought about that album, solo Waters. My favorite "PF" album, in any event. Love Waters. I've enjoyed what I've heard from Chinese Democracy. It's not "Guns and Roses", no, but what they call it doesn't matter all that much to me. G 'n R is one of my favorites, and...
