LA RECENSIONE
This is yet another of the magnificent albums that the Guns have composed.
It's pointless to criticize because everything reported here is true: it is the best-selling debut CD of all time, thanks to which the group topped all the charts.
It features rock classics such as Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child o' Mine, and other beautiful songs like It's So Easy, My Michelle, Rocket Queen. The downside to the CD might be tracks 10 and 11, namely You're Crazy and Anything Goes, but it's fine nonetheless.
It will forever remain one of the best rock CDs, perhaps the last truly significant one in the history of hard rock.

A CD that, in my humble opinion, changed the history of Hard Rock and beyond.
Fantastic music that has the great virtue of surprising and moving at every listen without fading over time.

It brought back to life the triad of sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll in an era, the ’80s, when everyone was cheerful fools put there to say nonsense or have fun.
The compactness of the guitars... is among the best ever heard.

"'Welcome to the Jungle' is definitely a masterpiece of hard rock, decisive riffs, Axl Rose’s vitriolic voice, a solo as technical as rude."
"This CD might have sold more than warranted thanks to the Guns’ image, but it certainly does not deserve less in its genre."

It simmered with anger, bled with pain, shivered with terror, oozed with passion, sobbed with love, screamed with hatred, and stood up with a non-heroic attitude that automatically makes heroes.
The album was as fresh as a newly opened bottle of Jack Daniel’s.
By Axl Rose L.A.
Appetite, indeed: an album that caused a sensation for its lyrical content but became a 'cult' for all the young people who wanted to start a rock band influenced by country, blues, and primordial punk.
"Paradise City" ... all 5 Gunners are perfect in this song.
