It's a good week for music fans, what with Guns N' Roses first music album in 17-years, Tom Jones in fifteen, and Talking Head's David Byrne and U2 producer Brian Eno's first joint effort in over two decades, due out sometime this week, including a new album from multi-platinum neo-'80s band the Killers.

Rock classic band - Guns 'n Roses new album Chinese Democracy all of 14-tracks is a mix of high-wire attitude, low-down riffs and stellar songs. The title track 'Illusion' has a hard appeal, 'Catcher in the Rye' comes with a few catchy pop moments, overall a good album with only a few tracks like 'Sorry' and 'Prostitute' that bomb.

Overall, 'Chinese Democracy' is a likeable album though not particularly inspired.

Other News If, Kevin Cogill, the blogger alleged to have leaked nine new songs from the new Guns 'n Roses album, pleaded not guilty to breaking copyright laws, however, if he is found to have profited from the leaks, he faces three years in prison if convicted.

Meanwhile, Dr. Pepper. a soft drinks manufacturer pledging to give a free soft drink to all Americans in the event Guns 'n Roses released a new album in 2008 after several release dates for the group's albums were passed, says he intends to honour the pledge.
