Title: Guns N' Roses
Review: It's hard to imagine that Guns N' Roses could have improved after Appetite for Destruction, but they did. While still having killer, straight-ahead rock n' roll, this album (as well as Use Your Illusion II) brought them into a much greater realm of musical possibility. Although Use Your Illusion I is slightly better then II, both albums show the band was more diverse and exposed their many different styles. This is because, in part, Guns N' Roses (unlike most other bands) were never content to put out another album that was like something they already did. After the success of Appetite for Destruction, most bands would set out to make another one just like it. Instead, Guns N' Roses was more concerned with growing and expanding their horizons. In the end that is the mark of a truly great rock n' roll band. -- 8/13/98
