Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Mixed bag to say at least one banger is included
Great album except the lyrical garbage that is "One In A Million".
Album of two half's. First being raw and live sounding (even though it wasn't) from their pre-fame days. Gives good insight of what was to come. Second half acoustic and polished. Highlighted the difference of some songwriting skills, and of what coming into some money does from before 'Appetite' to afterwards. The better of the two half's for me personally.

Sure, its a bit of a "cash in" to get something out there after Appetite. But its not bad at all. There's barely a weak song, there's a certain amount of soul in the "live" side, and the four acoustic songs are burning with attitude. No filler. But then they over-compensated for that later with the Use Your Illusion Albums....
A stop gap release between, appetite for destruction, and the, use your illusion, albums. It consists of the, like a suicide, e.p, a four track live recording featuring a cover of Aerosmith's, mama kin, Rose Tattoo's, nice boys, and originals, reckless life, and, move to the city. The album also features four acoustic recordings, you're crazy,(original version on, appetite), used to love her, a darkly comic country number, one in a million, featuring some dubious observations from Axl Rose, and best of all, the beautiful ballad, patience. It's an enjoyable record featuring the dark and the light, the rock and the ballads, a decent stop gap.
I rank this one with Appetite as their best album. Yes, the lyrics are questionable on One in a Million, but it's a good tune and I can sympathize with a lot of what he's saying. Better than either Illusion album.

A rushed-out sequel to Appetite for Destruction, it's not great but it doesn't deserve to be totally overlooked either. There's a good amount of quality here.

I must be the only one that likes this album more than any other by gnr. I don't think there is a remotely bad song here. I wish the first 4 didn't have the fake crowd noise because they are great songs but it kind of throws the listener off. And Crazy sounds way better the way they slowed it down on this album. And If you can get past the lyrics in One In A Million, its an amazing acoustic song, the way an acoustic guitar should sound.
