		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/axl2.jpg?w=202&h=300" />By the time <em>Chinese Democracy</em> actually comes out, we’ll be sick of all this insanity. But for the moment, we’re pretty flabbergasted that we can simply head to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses">MySpace</a>—a little invention that saw daylight ten long years after Gun N’ Roses’ last record—and hear the entire album for free. All of <em>Chinese Democracy</em>, not just a handful of random tracks, leaked on Tuesday, but today you can hear the full record without risking a run-in with the FBI. Axl finally has what he’s always wanted: all eyes on him and his cornrows.</p>
<p>In related news, many of you may recall Chuck Klosterman’s <a href="http://www.spin.com/reviews/guns-n-roses-chinese-democracy-interscope">“review”</a> of <em>Chinese Democracy</em> two years ago—an April Fool’s Joke, and a good one at that. Well, yesterday, the AV Club published Klosterman’s <a href="http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/chuck_klosterman_reviews">real review</a>, and it seems the guy likes the album even better the second time around.  Klosterman is “impressed by how close<em> Chinese Democracy</em> comes to fulfilling the absurdly impossible expectation it self-generated.” Chuck even wishes Axl had indulged in a triple album (a possibility we’re sure the singer spent at least a couple years considering). Still, he (unlike many fans) is glad Slash never showed up. “What's cool about <em>Chinese Democracy</em> is that it truly does sound like a new enterprise…” It also sounds like the last “Old Media album.” <em>Chinese Democracy</em> is “the last album that will be marketed as a collection of autonomous-but-connected songs, the last album that will be absorbed as a static manifestation of who the band supposedly is, and the last album that will matter more as a physical object than as an Internet sound file.” </p>
