Been listening to the new Guns n' Roses album and I'm pretty into it actually. From what I've seen it's been getting really bad reviews, which I guess it was always going to, but as far as I'm concerned it's a good rock album nothing more, nothing less. Nothing earth-shattering, but Axl still sounds great, he's still got the tunes and, well, what more could you want. It helps that all the lyrics seem to be about betrayal. Which is a subject close to my heart at the moment.
And so to 808s And Heartbreak, the new Kanye West album. I think I'm loving this as well. At first I was in two minds, but the more I listen, the more I think it's probably a genius album. I still think I need a few more listens before absolutely committing myself. Maybe the one problem with it is the whole load of stuff about how all his cash isn't enough, it's the type of thing that always bugs me in some sort of bitter way - he should try being absolutely skint and heartbroken, see how he likes that...
