I think the tracks are fine.
The issue is the production with so many layers and multiple guitarists some of whom play in styles that don't really suit the underlying genre.
It's kinda an art piece designed to push the audience and stretch their tastes I would speculate......but fundamentally...
The reason Slash/Duff hardschool and absurd are better is because it's a simpler rock version of the songs.
Take any of the CD songs are redo them with the UYI band and the even same vocal tracks and it would come out like the classic records...it's not really the songs...it's the style.
Production is definitely the biggest problem with the album.
But I also think that the tracks chosen and the way they are put togher makes it long and hard to enjoy as a whole.
If we cloud get the absurd treatment on the whole thing I'd still prefer the alternative truck listing.
I must say, although I don't like particularly the open project band gnr have been for a long time, I loved the guitar work on the album.
If I was given the choice between having Izzy back with buckethead on the lead or what we have now, despite my love for slash I might be going for the other solution.

I can’t take any Chinese Democracy sessions track list serious without Madagascar.
I do like Madagascar and other songs I left out. My goal was to make a list that is more consistent, so I kept what reminds me more of old gnr and added the industrial stuff. There are a lot of tracks I would have loved to see on a axl solo project like Madagascar and if the world.

Since the album came out we heard some of the songs that could have made it on it but didn't for different reasons.
I always thought some of them were better than most of what we actually got on the record so I made my own Chinese democracy to listen to and I have to say I love it.
Here is my track list
1 Chinese democracy
2 hard skhool
3 street of dreams
4 oh my god
5 shackler's Revenge
6 absurd (I like the new version better)
7 better
8 athlas shrugged
9 this I love
10 there was a time
I don't think the songs that I included are necessarily the best on the album, i just think the list works.

Hi guys, I've been typing "guns n roses new songs" on chrome for a while and lately a weird result comes up.
It a Spotify link that says "the first new original GNR song in eight years, the industrial metal track "oh my god" finally appeared on..."
If I open the link it takes me to Spotify but I cannot find oh my god on Spotify at all.
Does anybody know something about this?
