Full review

Its no wonder that following 1987's Appetite for destruction Guns n Roses became one of the most succesful rock bands ever. Their sell out tours to support the Illusion albums show that. This has become one of the best selling rock albums ever and its the best selling debut rock album ever. Welcome to the Jungle has become a cult song and Sweet Child of Mine has one of the most memorable riffs you'll ever hear.
But their is a lot more to this album than these songs which are probably the bands most famous. Every song is of a high standard and each has its features. Steven Adler's heavy and simple drumming works perfectly with every song and although it could be argued that it doesn't show much talent it could also be said that his style really helps bring across the power of the music. Izzy Stadlins rhythm guitar gives the album a fuller sound and this is especially the case when Slash is grinding out his solos by the bucketload. We aren't left with an empty sound in the background.
The only mild criticism would be that each song has the same feel to it. They are all rocks songs except Sweet Child O Mine and the end of Rocket Queen. It does have variety in that My Michelle and You're Crazy are more metal than rock so it isn't a big problem by any means.

This has to be a must buy for anyone who is new to the rock genre. I can guarantee you'll like it and you'll probably want to hear more of Guns n Roses music. THis is modern rock at is best
