I don't think Popdose knows what it's listening to here, but it's fun to watch a little blog look idiotic next to a review in Rolling Stone that tends to get the record a little better. <br><br>Yeah, these songs suck. And Hinder's first record was a masterpiece. It's been so long since good music has surfaced that Rose would have been better off letting the tunes stay stripped down like Appetite for Destruction. Then, at least, goofballs like Popdose would have been able to like the record. <br><br>But it isn't just that Axl doesn't give a shit. It's that you're wrong, man. There isn't a band out there right now that could even COVER half these songs, much less write anything at once as ferocious, experimental, and melodic as just about every song on Chinese Democracy. <br><br>And by the way, Axl Rose can sing. The review doesn't even discuss his voice, which is at the center of the record. It's like discussing a new album by Sade or Christina Aguilera without discussing the singer. I don't even know what to say abot that.

Sure, its kinda "shooting fish in a barrel", but seeing how much pure joy some scribes take in describing this disaster definitely makes for some great reading.

Axl would certainly be on my list, but I think John Popper would rank higher up. Hmmm…most irritating vocalists — there's an interesting idea for a post.
