I actually really dig the album. Did it live up to expectations? Hell no, it never could have. Is it on par with "Appetite"? Nah, not even close. Why am I asking myself questions and then answering them? Beer.
But it is an album I keep going back to. Some great tracks. I really believe this would have been critically acclaimed had it not cost 80 bazillion dollars to make and taken a million years to record.
In saying all of this though, it is absolutely an Axl Rose solo album and I would kill to see the original line up record a new album, not that it will ever happen.
