Chinese Democracy

The day came and went. Chinese Democracy exists. The best review of the album is by Chuck Klosterman, writing for The Onion:

I've maintained a decent living by making easy jokes about Axl Rose for the past 10 years, but what's the final truth? The final truth is this: He makes the best songs. They sound the way I want songs to sound. A few of them seem idiotic at the beginning, but I love the way they end.
