Well... I would have been the first to have said it was going to be a pile of ste... But, its OK!!! I actually quite like it and I was never a GnR fan. I like the fact that it doesnt really sound like old GnR and they have kind of evolved, Metallica should take note!
Be interested to hear a bit more...

Have any of the other tracks been released? I can immagine that being a very respectable album track, not sure about it as a headline single though.
There's been a few leaks of demos and live versions, but the only "release" is that one.I'm looking forward to hearing "Better" in it's final incarnation.
Lets put it in perspective though, its been SEVENTEEN years since the release of any original GnR material and fifteen since their last album. If this is the best Axl Rose can do in 15 years then it doesn't say alot.
It doesn't bother me that its not too much like Appetite era GnR, after all who wants to hear the same album rehashed again and again but it's simpy not very good is it.
Geffen washed their hands of it a few years ago and although their official reason was financial due to the length of time Rose was taking with it, I can't help wondering if someone heard what they were recording and tipped off their boss.
Lazy to say the least on the part of Rose. If people like it then fine but for me its decidely third rate and considering how long its taken massively underwhelming would be an understatement.

What album IS worth 15 years though? If it came with a free GnR concert in your living room and a blowjob, then OK. But a lot of people seem to be saying "oh, it's been 15 years, I expect every note to bring me instantly to orgasm." Not gonna happen.
I like the album. Not a big fan of Shackler's, but maybe it's a grower.
