Picked it up at Best Buy and have already listened to it several times.

It seems this might be the last "event" album and it sounds like every penny was well spent.

Much leaner and better than either "Use Your Illusion."

Not nearly as raw or pure hard as "Appetite," but it rocks in its own pristine glory.

A worthy epic.

not sure if you've seen it but there is already a thread
discussing the album here:
