Chinese Democracy is starting to become the 00's version of "Hysteria" without the hitfactor.
Too overproduced, the drums are not pure rock, more like some funky drummachineloop, and every little keyboardsling in inserted where it can be. Its like cramming too much in a small space, like it's meant that we should be starstrucked every second of the song. That's a pretty tough challange.
Especially since everybody does not listen to the song in order to find the smooth touchy third syntheziserlayer, making it less appealing to trad.rock fans.

Too many loose ends.

But I guess this is nothing new for this thread since you GNRibans has been disecting this topic completely.
