My cousin reviewed the new Guns an Roses album thusly, "It doesn't sound like Guns and Roses."He hated it but he's wrong. The new GNR album is exactly like all the other GNR albums. They don't sound alike of course, the first album, Appetite for Destruction is a mean heavy metal album. The next two, Use Your Illusion 1 and Use Your Illusion 2 were hard rock records that added some 70s balladry to the mix. The latest, Chinese Democracy, is a hodge podge of different styles and eras.
While they may all sound diffrent they are all exactly the same. Why? Because they all have exactly three good songs.
Appetite had Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine and Welcome to the Jungle. Personally, I never need to hear Sweet Child or Welcome to the Jungle again but Paradise City hits the spot every time. You can make a case for Rocket Queen or My Michelle I suppose but, if you are honest with yourself you would have to agree that those two tunes are just good filler. Plus, the story behind Rocket Queen ewww.
Use Your Illusion 1: Live and Let Die, Don't Cry and November Rain. See how easy this is.
Use Your Illusion 2: Civil War, 14 Years, and Yesterdays. Knockin on Heavens Door may be the exception that proves the rule.
Chinese Democracy: Better, Street of Dreams, If the World. These three make up the early middle of the album. Just turn it off after If The World. I promise you won't miss anything.

Really, because no one else has mentioned this. And I have checked my blog on several different computers with different connections to the Internet. I've also had several close friends check it out and none of them have mentioned anything about slowness.
hmmm
Thanks for the spam.
