CD Review:
This is the best The Guess Who has to offer. The album starts off with a bang with "American Woman," "No Time" and "No Sugar Tonight." These three songs are the best The Guess Who produced, all songs on the album after don't quite live up to the first three, but are good also. If The Guess Who could have continued on the pace the first 3 songs established this album would have been 5 stars.
The Guess Who lost Randy Bachman after this album, (He went on to form the band Bachman Turner Overdrive) and I wonder what would have happened if he stayed. Anyway, this album and the others by The Guess Who are some of the best rock music produced by Canadians and worth the cash and the listening ear. Too bad we have to hear Lenny Kravitz's version of "American Woman" instead of the original, when we turn on the radio.

CD Review:
This debut album by GnR took the rock world by storm, Its viewpoint that all life is shit, and nothing in life is worth a f...ing dump in the toilet, gave rock a needed jolt out of its regular 'blah' recordings. GnR got airplay and its message spread around the world. If your suicidal don't buy this album. It foreshadowed Nirvana's Nevermind in that good ol' Mr. Cobain took the next step and not only thought life was shit but it wasn't even worth writing lyrics about anything either. Once you hear Axl Rose's vocal gymnastics you will, with Slash's guitar, realize what made this band unique.
The problem with this band is they ran out of talent too quickly. They blew their load with the Use Your Illusion two CD set and after The Spaghetti Incident left the rock scene. You could see it coming since Use Your Illusion had so many cover songs included on it. But Appetite for Destruction is the only GnR album you need to realize their greatness, short-lived as it was.
Note: the album cover displayed is the original before the band was forced to change it because of its graphic nature.
