I like Chinese Democracy, particularly Axl Rose's singing, even though it is not G 'n' R. The 'modern' production reminds me of The Cult's Born Into This, but while BIT was a massive disappointment, Chinese Democracy hangs together somehow.

SuperHeavy is awful, awful. A novelty band at best, and a pseudo-multicultural cash grab gimmick at worst.

what is this SuperHeavy ?? I've never heard of it.

Chinese Democracy was interesting to begin with, hit and miss for me, but can't say I've listened to it again since it got released and I can't remember a "memorable" song

^^^ It's a supergroup comprised of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone and a few others. I really haven't gotten into it though so that's all I could tell you just about. Oh and I think one of Bob Marley's sons is in the group as well. :)

I have to admit Superheavy isn't earth shaking, but you have to like Raggae, tribal, and electronic stuff to get into this kinda music.


If I was reviewing the album I would give it a 3/5, for creativity. I am not real thrilled with Joss Stone, her voice seems out of place on the album.

Not worth wasting my time then? I have heard some pretty bad albums so worst album of all time is a pretty big call.

No album will ever match the Monumental underwhelming status of Axl Rose's solo album for my money.:nw:

Everyone knows how I feel about him using G 'n R for Chinese Democracy.

I haven't heard Superheavy yet...but my expectations wouldn't be high. I can't honestly remember any solo Jagger album I thought was worth buying.:dunno:
