axl666 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 http://features.metacritic.com/features/2011/best-and-worst-comeback-albums/Axl Rose’s mythical sixth GnR album (heck, the LP’s back story itself has its own Wikipedia entry) went from being the album that would never get released to the album some fans wished were never released. It’s not terrible, merely mediocre — but that’s bad enough coming from what was once one of the best hard rock bands on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbaugerud Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I agree. As a whole, CD is rather average. The highlights are great, but the rockers suck ass. Better, TWAT, The Blues and maybe a couple of others are worthy the GnR name, but not the rest. The magic has gone and the die-hards are slowly starting to realize that.That being said, I don't think a reunion would bring it back. Probably just as a memory of the last great rock n roll band. When Justin Bieber's "Baby" has as many views as no 2-10 on the list combined, that says it all. The era of giants has died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reunion would only work if the members actually reconciled their differences and did it as more than just a cash grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Metacritic is so far up its own ass it's not funny, just like Pitchfork Media. I never take anything they say as meaningful. Edited April 13, 2011 by DaneisKing1389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal'Akh Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Contraband better than CD? LOLEach Chinese Democracy song is better each and every song made by Slash and company since the left GN'R.And for the record, DJ's Motley Crue album Saints Of Los Angeles is better than all of that too.

Chewbacca Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 So...? Metacritic can shove this shit up their asses. So they think CD sucks? Who Cares? I know what I like and I don't need somebody to tell me what's good or bad. These critics seem to forget that their rating on an album is merely an opinion that is as worthy as mine. I mean, Who gives a fuck about what Jason DIetz has to say? What a bunch of arrogant SOB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitstorm Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I don't need a web site or critic to tell me what's cool or not. I liked ChiDem a lot and still do. I don't necessarily consider it a "comeback album" so much as a new album with a lot of interesting direction/ideas.Metacritic is the type of site that's always going to diss on albums like this and promote the more obscure lesser known bands I often find boring. Honestly, it's typical fare for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post does nothing but reinforce my opinion. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and mine is that outside of only one or two tracks CD doesnt even deserve to have the GNR name in front of it.

axl666 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) and your point with the topic is?I'm a big fan of CD.However a fact is a fact. It is a fact that a news item about Guns was reported on metacritic.You might not like this fact, which is your opinion. However it perfectly acceptable to post links to news items about Guns. People might disagree with the content of those news items (I know I do)but that doesn't mean that those news items should be censored from this board.
