Overrated, trivial, mediocre hard rock album, one of the worst of the '80s, songs with the same atmosphere, simplicity, superficial lyrics, and terrible screams à la Brian Johnson. Slash is a decent guitarist but a terrible songwriter, Duff's bass lines are okay but nothing impressive (compare them to those of John Paul Jones and then tell me), and don't get me started on the drums, they do the same thing in every song! But the worst thing about the album is definitely Axl Rose, who becomes extremely annoying when he sings high notes or screams!
So what can I say, a truly mediocre album, not far from what mediocre Bon Jovi and AC/DC offer. As mentioned earlier, Duff's bass lines are okay and they are the best thing about the album, thumbs down for the rest, the dull riffs, the drumming, the terrible voice, and especially for Axl's embarrassing moans.
