Well, the excitement over the release of Chinese Democracy by Guns and Roses and Axl Rose has hit a fever pitch. It should be in stores on Sunday, and hundreds of critics and insiders have heard it and have had their say. Seems that it's a very good record, but not without its issues. And it's impossible to live up to the hype created by an album a decade in the making.
Anyway, we got word that, beginning Sunday, the album will be available for live streaming at the band's Myspace page -- www.myspace.com/gunsnroses.
I may get a copy of it today (Thurs.) and if it surfaces, I'll make sure you have access to my review. It will likely be in Saturday's Leader-Post, and at leaderpost.com.
In the meantime, here are a few of reviews that I've read.....
