Not anymore. If you vote give your reason peeps.

I voted for CD. There's no question that BGWTB works better as an album. It's consistent, strong from front to back, and seems like the songs "work" together. But CD has better, more striking, and more ambitious songs. The only complaint I have about that album is that it's kind of all over the place. I'm usually an album person, but the strength of the individual songs on that album is enough to make me listen, front to back, over and over. Have you ever heard an album where your thoughts are generally "meh" but then one song grabs you and you rethink the whole thing and buy it for that one song? CD is like that, except almost every song grabs me in that way, even if they don't make for a thematically consistent album. That's not to say that I like one and not the other, and I"m sure in coming weeks that AiC will prominently feature in my rotation, and moreso than GNR. But not in the long run...

I'm biased and I really like CD more.

I picked CD simply because I like it better..it holds a special place in my heart

CD doesn't suffer every song sounds the same syndrome.

AIC's album is good, but I just like GNR (all eras) way more. Axl did a great job with the album, even if he's fucked up everything else related to it.

[Mr. Roboto]

As a whole album, I think AIC did a much better job. Songs on their own, while hard to compare IMO, I'd pick GnR.

It does suffer from every song being pro tooled to death

What you call pro-tooled, my 550 watt 5.1 surround sound stereo calls superb production.

Ur 550 watt Stereo can suck it!

I voted AIC. Much heavier sound. More true to their original sound. Fewer line up changes to make the album - there was only one line up change that I know of. Only took so long because of Staley's death and they needed time to regroup and do it again - right - and when the time was right. Loved Staley, but they barely missed a beat with DuVall. Other than him, same members. Need I say more?

Who cares if it takes a hundred musicians to make an album or 3. It's the quality of the music that counts.
