Listened to it twice now. There are some really good songs on this. WAAAAAY too long, of course... not something I'd probably listen to ever again, but meh.. it wasn't bad. A shocking amount of creative arrangements... perhaps too creative (what's with the cheesy overprocessed vocals, pianos, and strings?.. and all the samples?). Lots of things to like on the record, honestly. It's not awful... just overlong, overproduced, and has too many dull tracks in comparison to the great ones.
But really.. The second track in particular has some fucking awesome shit on it! THat guitar solo is insane!
The whole thing is hilariously overproduced and Axl's vocals are terrible but musically it's actually creative and... sometimes even great. At its worst, its still mostly listenable.
