Appetite was a great album but more as an idea than anything else, and subsequent interest in GnR has largely accepted this by focusing more on their story (which in rock terms is a pretty fascinating one) than their music. Chinese Democracy is an interesting 'afterword' to that story, but musically it's as irrelevant as they ever were. So Don't buy Chinese Democracy, buy Stephen Davis' new book 'Watch You Bleed: the "saga" of Guns N Roses' instead. It's far more fascinating than anything the band ever produced themselves. And I'm saying this as someone who's a GnR fan.
