En lo que para muchos fans (incluido mi Bro) pudiera ser la segunda vuelta del mesias del Hard Rock, hace apenas unos minutos es oficial el lanzamiento ahora si del primer album en este milenio de esta "banda", algo que personalmente considero se hubiera llamado "The Axl Comedy Project" o algo asi, incluso tengo la ligera impresion que lo hizo nada más por fregar a Dr. Pepper, que sino este disco seguiria en el refri por unos dos años.
Bueno, en Inglish dice asi:The wait is over. The new album from Guns N' Roses,
Chinese Democracy, has arrived. The disc, which features 14 brand new songs from Axl and company, has garnered rave reviews and is easily the most anticipated release of the year.
The following has been updated to correct inaccuracies contained in the previously posted version.
Chinese Democracy is everything you've been waiting so patiently for -- and a lot more.
Here's a full track description:
"Chinese Democracy" opens things up on a theatrical note. Right away you realize that frontman and GN'R mastermind Axl Rose has never sounded better. Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal's guitar solo is another highlight of the title track. "Better" couldn't be better, with a five-pronged guitar attack setting off explosions while a hard beat crunches away. Tommy Stinson's bass line provides the backbone of the rhythm. "Street Of Dreams" comes next, the beautiful song that you might recognize during GN'R's 2006 tour, introduced as "The Blues."
The fifth track, "If The World," is a classic funk-rock song with Middle Eastern elements and liquid bass playing from synth man and programmer –- and track co-writer –- Chris Pitman. There Was A Time" "Broken glass and cigarettes, writing on the wall/It was a bargain for the summer and I thought I had it all," Axl sings before this instant classic crescendos into the powerful chorus. Other highlights include Dizzy Reed, Pitman and Axl's synth orchestra, which gives the song a movie feel.
A gorgeous instrumental intro featuring piano, bass and Axl's signature wails begins the album's next track, "Catcher In The Rye". Two tasty guitar solos here –- one by Bumblefoot, one by Buckethead. "Scraped" features Axl all over the register, with layers and layers of vocal tracks piledt on top of each other while a sinister guitar riff shoots through the chorus: "Don't you try to stop us now/'cause I just won't let you." Meanwhile, "Sorry" is a kick-back track with acoustic guitar but with Axl-penned lyrics that bite: "You don't know why I won't give in," he says. "To hell with the pressure, I'm not caving in."
Track No. 10, "Riad N' The Bedouins" has Axl giving his all to the vocal over a complex, multi-layered guitar rhythm. The instrumental bridge segues from strings to a Bumblefoot solo assault. An electronic drum loop leads right into the next song, "I.R.S.", which contains some of Axl's most inner-reaching lyrical content on the album. Track No. 12, "Madagascar," features accltaimed orchestral arranger Paul Buckmaster and emotional samples from history, including two speeches by Martin Luther King Jr., the films "Mississippi Burning" and "Cool Hand Luke."
"This I Love" starts with only Axl's voice and piano playing, and it's the only song on the album solely written by Axl. "Prostitute" brings things to a close, with Axl saying, "It's not a question of whether my heart is true."
Chinese Democracy is a truly epic project, GNR's first studio release since 1993's The Spaghetti Incident?.
Retail chain Best Buy is the exclusive outlet for the CD and vinyl album in the United States. The album is also available via the iTunes Store.
Y Bueno, ya lo escuche desde hace muuuuuuchos dias, y lo unico que puedo comentar es, ¡¡¿quien chingados invito a Mickey Mouse?!!, NO MAMES, sera que mi copia esta jodida, cosa que desde un principio consideré, pero hasta que no vaya al mixup y lo compre no voy a cambiar de opinion, pero desgraciadamente desde que lo escuche, ese deseo no ha vuelto a cruzar por mi cabeza, probablemente se lo compre a mi bro para esta navidad, o se lo anticipe, pero no creo que se quede en mi almacen de CD's.
