Its definitely not fake.
Well, I thought Porcupine Tree had been voted best album of the year by Classic Rock. Maybe this is a different award, I don't know : http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/page … at_a_night
That was at the Classic Rock awards ceremony, as voted for by readers.
This was separate, its "the best album of the year" as chosen by Classic Rock critics.

OK. Thanks for clearing this up.
Do you have a better scan ? It would be cool if we could read the article.:)

Well, the mag could be making a mockery of CD, as it certainly wouldn't be the first time its happened(or the last). The article isn't fake though.
I geunuinely don't think that iss the case. Firstly the writers are big rock fans, why wouldn't they want Axl to succeed and release a bunch of good tunes. Secondly its better for their magazine to review great music / bands. Its not good business to rely off crappy music and half baked reviews.
The bad part is I vowed never to cancel my subscription until Chinese Democradcy is finally released. What a silly idea. Nevermind, its a good magazine, much better than Kerrang or Metal Hammer.

It's good GN'R are still being brought up in the media in a positive way, even if this does come across as slightly embarrassing considering the album isn't out. This was the same magazine that's heard Prostitute and Atals Shrugged so I guess they're in a better position to comment than most on the album.
Looks like Classic Rock are looking to keep favour with GNR for whenever the album comes out. Someone's going to get that big first Axl interview, it seems CR are throwing their hats in the ring to get it.

Good for Axl & Co. but it wouldn't be my pick 
They also voted 'Better', 'Chinese Democracy' and 'The Blues' in their top 200 songs of the year.
So does this mean Atlas Shrugged and the others we haven't heard yet are not as good as these? Too bad, i'm already bored of most of the leaks.

I didn't even think of that, great point APE, this could quite possibly be the case. When this album finally does drop, it will be a race to see who will get to Axl first. It will be such a breath of fresh air to hear them all finally start talking about it.

I know what you mean, not that I am totally board but definitely would love to hear new songs.

I think the fact that Axl & Co end up topping 'Classic Rock' polls will sicken him. He has always maintained that he wanted to move GNR on to a more modern sound yet here he is almost 15 years later still excelling in that genre...
