    "Reviewing Chinese Democracy is not like reviewing music. It's more like reviewing a unicorn. Should I primarily be blown away that it exists at all? Am I supposed to compare it to conventional horses? To a rhinoceros? Does its pre-existing mythology impact its actual value, or must it be examined inside a cultural vacuum, as if this creature is no more (or less) special than the remainder of the animal kingdom?"

    I love Chuck Klosterman's writing - there's no more appropriate person to review this album than Chuck. I strongly recommend reading Fargo Rock City, where he professes his love for hair metal bands.
  • inactive, on 11/19/2008, -0/+9Obviously its the context of the album, but its nice to see a long, in-depth review. Much better than the 8 sentence blurbs we're seeing all the time now.
  • anderzole, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6Unicorn metahor is right on.
  • BaudiIROCZ, on 11/19/2008, -0/+6Call me a nerd but when I heard Chinese Democracy was finally being released, I thought to myself "I wonder what Klosterman is going to say about it?"

  • veganbilly, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5I just want my damn Dr Pepper.
  • rheaume, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4Listening to it it and now and I must say its epic. Im very impressed, but like 3drealms I hope this isn't a trend, release good music more often please :)
  • jamangold, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Klosterman is a tool of what or whom?
  • inactive, on 12/09/2008, -0/+1LOL
  • DrLazer, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Klosterman's long-form magazine-style review fits Chinese Democracy perfectly if it is in fact the last of the "Old Media albums". And as always, the comment field grousing are as entertaining as the main article.
  • paco5502, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1***** awesome , unlike any album I have ever heard, almost worth the ***** wait...
  • joetaco8, on 11/20/2008, -7/+1yeah, Klosterman is kind of a tool. but his writing is pretty witty. Unicorn reference: funny. Old Media comment: on point. Psycho-analysis of Axl Rose: lame.
