Many people will say that Appetite For Destruction is Guns N' Roses best album, but I prefer UYI2 by far. The opening track, Civil War, is the second best song the band ever wrote. 14 Years is very good, as is Yesterdays. Knockin' On Heaven's Door is the best cover song ever, it is even better than Dylan's version, and Dylan's version rocked. Get In The Ring and Shotgun Blues give the album a bit of a lull, because Axl basically tells everyone "F**k off" over and over, and this wrecks the songs. Breakdown is okay, and the first few minutes of Pretty Tied Up are good, too, but both songs bore me a little. Locmotive is alright, but it's too long. I heard So Fine and thought the CD was really sucking now, and that the band had run out of ideas before they had even started recording the UYIs (I didn't like much of the first album, except November Rain, Don't Cry, and Right Next Door To Hell). Holy crap, was I wrong. Estranged is the greatest song ever written by G N' R, or almost any other band for that matter. It is the perfect rock song, and I never get tired of listening to it. This song IS Use Your Illusion. Plus, it's followed by You Could Be Mine, one of G N' R's best hard rockers. The alternate version of Don't Cry is pretty sweet, but the original is better. I consider this the real end of the CD, despite the fact that their is a fourteebth song, My World. Axl wrote it; it is basically a minute and a half of distorted vocals, effects, and porn sounds. It's the only song on the CD that I hate. Shotgun Blues is better because it's fun, So Fine is better, even though it's too quiet for my taste. Even the profanity-laden Get In The Ring is better than this song. And no, I'm not one of those censorship freaks. F**k you, ;). In closing, this is, in my opinion, the best Guns N' Roses album, and is necessary to any fan of the band, or rock/metal music in general. Don't bother with the first half of UYI. It's okay, but only for fans of the band. But if you aren't a fan, just buy the horrible Greatest Hits CD released in 2004.
