I think they'll be pretty keen to have it released. They'll never make all their money back, but even if CD only makes 5 million (for sake of argument), it's 5 million they wouldn't get otherwise. It's not a certainty but CD has potential to do very well, it could just as easily flop but it does have certain things in it's favour. The name GNR will always be a seller and to an extent the name CD is also a selling point, I'll assume after all this time they've got at least one hit single up their sleeve, a bit of good marketing regarding the whole 14 year wait kind of thing and the fact that every music magazine going will run a story on it when it's released gives this album a fighting chance. I appreciate there are as many cons to CD's pros but the factors I've listed above at least give it a figting chance, from there it largely depends how good the album is as to which direction it heads.

I'm quietly optimistic about this news, it seems without doubt the label now has the album, which as far as we know is the closest the album has ever got to coming out. That by no means guarantees it will come out any time soon (if ever) but at the very least it's a shoot of hope for 08.
