Gotta admit it's not as much of a train wreck as I thought it'd be. I'd say it's half-decent if too long, after the sixth or seventh song I was like: when will it be over?!
I had forgotten how piercing Axl Rose can be!
The biggest failure, to my naked and totally premature listening, were the ballads. They could/will never live up to November Rain.
Obviously, no album can live up to being over 10 years "in the making". It's not a massive oil painting, you know?

The lead picture is awesome, in between

Oh dear, some people woke up this morning, saw a retarded big foot painting and a credit card receipt for 175 bucks and went... "another night out in the city"
Some of the "art" was indeed hilarious!
Do not worry much fellow Xiu Xiu fans, they played pretty much the same set as their Bowery show back in August, sans 2 songs. And it was indeed criminal that when I looked back after the set was over, the room was below half capacity, which explained the lack of drunk chatter and roaring applause after like 5 songs... only fans were left.
Guess most people were there for the bad art and left just after the good one started.

Well, Stephan thanks for setting the record straight that this was indeed a joke, although I liked your "Easy Rider" joke better, you get what I'm saying?
Either way, can someone post a link to an "internet argument" parody so we, stereogum readers, can move on with out lives?

are people suggesting that Vampire Weekend does not deserve most overrated act? I find them ok, just plain ok. Nothing to fuzz about.
BEST VIDEO was Bright Tomorrow by Fuck Buttons!

I swear to all of you, ACTUAL stereogum readers, that this post was made public to one of the 3eb message boards... where else would you get such a massive hateful/you guys don't know anything about music/this song is awesome replies!
I personally hate it when people think that questioning what a certain artist has done makes them less of a fan. If anything, acknowledging their faults should make them appreciate the good stuff even more.
Like I said, this song is a true disgrace, not even as a joke/sarcastic song could be considered good. This is what they've fallen into, a "let's make more hits!" machine. If you ask me the true gems of these guys were the demos and b-sides: All Right Caroline, Scattered, Gorgeous.. any of you childish fan that are coming back every day to spill more hate on these blog must know what I'm talking about.

I keep telling myself that this is a joke...
As it turns out there appears to be a remix contest of this song! So by all means, tear it apart!
3eb was one of my favorite bands when I was in high school, there's no shame on that. You know why, cause they had some good songs. Blue was decent too. When I heard their last album, Out of the Vein, I wept. What a lousy album... and that was back in 03!
I'm seriously considering deleting all the songs in my hard drive and burning my cds. That's how horrified I am.

I feel stupid after reading this, being a musician can't he make more interesting comments? Plus he gets minus 232490 points for listening to Glasvegas

All the covers and the new songs are great. I hope they release a new album soon... please.
