I used to hate these guys when I was in high school, mostly because there was a huge majority of popular assholes declaring themselves "masters of musical knowledge" for listening to the usual rock radio affair (ya know, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, AC/DC, Nirvana sometimes) and they all L-O-V-E-D GnR. Of course I hadn't yet got into the trip of listening to full albums, so all I knew, like them, was the big singles (I never found out if they discovered Knockin' On Heaven's Door and Live And Let Die were actually covers, but I think some of them did, since I met one of those dudes half a year ago and among other things discussed about music and found out he became a fan of Television and Black Flag as well among other stuff, so probably they somewhat expanded their horizons) and I really couldn't get the huge hype-I only really liked November Rain. So, the years passed and I started to discover music through LPs and I bumped into this. I was shocked by how much I liked it-in fact, I thought it was amazing. I don't know, maybe since back then I got used to raw sound, or actually could grasp the virtuoso playing of Hudson and the fact that these guys actually experienced most of the stuff they described through their lyrics, thus giving them a powerful grip of realism. Anyway, it's a fantastic album, it flows almost perfectly and both its opening and closing tracks are among the best offerings, of course along with SCOM and I also love its ambiguity in presenting its themes, for they feel both like an exciting roller coaster trip and a nightmare with no way out, only some occasional and brief relief through love. If I could accuse it of any serious flaws, it's that the sound is somewhat repetitive throughout.

IN YOUR DREAMS. Best debut album ever. Why couldn't the other albums be just as good? If Axl didn't do drugs and mess up his brain and voice, GNR would've made more great albums and would've been one of the greatest 80's rock bands.

They did more great albums and they are one of the greatest 80s rock bands ever. Drugs weren't Axl's problem. Slash and Steve Adler did far more drugs than Axl. The problem was just how big of an asshole and conceited Axl was and is.
Anyway, I love this album. Paradise City used to be one of my favorite songs but I've become a bit burnt out on the hits on this album and my new favorites on it are My Michelle and Think About You.

At 12, I thought Sweet Child O Mine was the coolest song ever.
But now it is so overplayed everytime I hear it I turn it off. I don't care if I learnt it on guitar once, it's just so overused.
For me, I find this album relatively unlistenable due to Axls voice, but still enjoy Paradise City and Welcome To The Jungle.
