It's here... (Chinese Democracy is in my hands)

Today is a very special day.

I tried to get it at midnight, but found bestbuy was closed. I really miss the days when people would actually get excited about something. Oh well. They did have a big ass display outside the store though. One that my husband and I considered taking but then we remembered we're old and the risk was not worth the reward. I'm going back tonight to see if they'll give it to me, however it will more likely end up on ebay.

I'm stoked to finally have the official cd with the album art and all. I haven't purchased a cd in quite some time. And even more exciting is I also picked up the vinyl. Yes, that's right I bought both and my husband bought his own copy of the cd. If every household bought 3 copies, that would ensure GnR beats out silly Kayne. If this album is not #1 on the charts, I will have lost respect for my fellow Guns fans and music lovers in general. Axl deserves that much for this effort.

As for the music itself. I have a section to post my review and haven't been able to do it yet. I can't find the right words to describe how awesome it is. Even that sounds lame, awesome. It's amazing, it's different and new, yet oddly familiar.

I'm going to spend the day rocking out to Chinese Democracy on vinyl...and the cd will surely live in my car's player for the foreseeable future.

Thank you Axl... it was well worth the wait.
