I like The General but in no way begrudge anyone who doesn’t. It’s driven by a hip hop beat that could be from an Eminem song circa 2002. It’s a huge departure from what most would consider the classic GNR sound. It’s also fairly repetitive. It feels like an experiment, not necessarily a bad one, but for sure a creative departure. Is what it is. If you dig it, cool. If not, it seems like the next couple songs will be less controversial.
