I don't often review new albums but this one was compelling for a number of reasons.

I am this time because Guns N' Roses is a classic Rock Icon, and rock icon's don't make comeback albums after 15 years. Also I was never a Guns 'N Roses fan. I didn't dislike them at all, but I never bought or even heard an album. I've only ever known... you know, the popular songs that you hear all over. So I though it would be good to give a GNR ignorant opinion about their latest album. The main reason that put me over the top, was that fact that they managed to do what Metallica hasn't done. The made a good sounding album.

Yes I know Not this dynamic range crap again! I'm sorry, but yes I have to. I really like the songs on both Chinese Democracy, and Death Magnetic. However Death Magnetic sounds like shit. The dynamics have been almost completely leveled out, making it sound like loud noise. Apparently Guns 'N Roses are aware of this trend, and wanted the album to sound like what their fans remember. So I can say it sounds truly fantastic. Crank it up and it really makes you feel the music. Major props to Guns 'N Roses.

Alright. With all that technical audiophile crap out of the way, the songs are very cool. It's very clear they spend a lot of time on this album. Every song sounds meticulously crafted with purpose. Each one musicly (is that a word) evokes the perfect emotions to complement the lyrics. It's just all kinds of perfect. I fully expect them to win a Grammy for this.
