It's no wonder it took 14 years to record. Axl was exercising musical alchemy, trying to turn shit into gold. The tracks are mediocre and no amount of production will change that. The tracks are over polished and feel like disparate parts stitched together by his vocals. And it's not even rock.
And one track in particular sounds like a James Bond theme song. The Gn'R name should have been retired.
It's own hype crushed it. I'm disappointed.
