There is a long running joke online among music fans that there will be democracy in China before the sixth Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy, is ever released. On the 18th of June however, 3 days ago for those who are counting, we were one step closer to hearing the final product of 14 years of recording, delays, some more delays and reportedly $13 million of production costs. In total nine tracks, which are apparently mastered and finished, were leaked. Only 3 of the tracks have not been heard before with the remaining 6 having been previously leaked or heard live in varying degrees of work in progress. So far the reaction from music fans online has been mixed, ranging from "It's terrible" to "It's fantastic". Only time will tell if the album will ever be properly released. As for me, I wouldn't bet against democracy in China coming about first.
Tracklisting: 1. Rhiad and the Bedhouins (3:47)
2. If the World (5:00)
3. Untitled (5:50)
4. Chinese Democracy (5:01)
5. Better (5:12)
6. The Blues (4:53)
7. I.R.S. (4:41)
8. Madagascar (5:52)
9. There Was a Time (6:51)
They've been going on about this album since when I first got into metal, which was 10 years ago, and we're still waiting!
My tastes have changed a lot since then, from the lighter side of metal, the likes of Incubus, to the much heavier melodeath pouring out of Sweden.
The thing that hasn't changed is, I still have no interest in a new GnR album! It's gone from people anticipating it's release, to people laughing about how long it's taken for Axl to get his lazy butt into gear!

It's funny for me to watch people anticipate it. This isn't Guns N' Roses.It's an Axl Rose solo album.
