Use Your Illusion I

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock and Metal
by: Guns N' Roses

Release Date September 17, 1991
Yep, the full five stars here and I'll tell you why;

One reason is that this work feels optimistic, even when it's addressing pretty dour issues, it's an expansive work by a band that worked hard with their production team and developed their sound further than they'd had the opportunity to on their debut. They sold a squillion of these things at the time and the way the album works on a number of levels is part of the reason why. One level is the pure molten metal songs like Don't Damn Me and Dead Horse and Garden of Eden which show that when the faux nastiness is left behind and a genuine feeling of unclean sneer is available then you will connect with people. It shows how metal can make you think and can at times open up some unpleasant internal ... Read More:

Iowa

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock and Metal
by: Slipknot

Release Date August 28, 2001
I bought this album a couple weeks after it came out. Left behind was decent, and I was really into the new metal fad going on at the time. Since then, I've gotten into black metal, death metal, deathcore, and pretty much any type of metal you can imagine. From someone who listens to it all, I have to say that first off, this can not at all be classified as numetal, secondly, I think it's probably the best album they ever did. They just wanted to put something out that was brutal and violent, and I think they did a pretty good job. Again, I'm just stating what is my opinion and hope no one thinks that I'm trying to convince people to buy it.

Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock and Metal
by: George Thorogood

Release Date May 18, 2004
It's George Thoroughgood, and all of his best, most rockin songs, right here, one right after another. You can't be in a bad mood while listening to this, it will rip you right out of your old skin with the first riff of righteous, foundational rock n' roll slide guitar.

B-b-b-b-b-b-b baaad! Bad to the Bone!

The Spirit Of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock and Metal
by: Rush

Release Date February 11, 2003
If you want to go out and buy a cd that hits the radio friendly highlights from Rush, then you can't go wrong with "The Spirit of Radio", a compilation which spans 1974-1987. It's a great way to have one disc you can pop in your player and have a good time with Rush, and can easily be considered a great starting point to any of you who have not heard Rush. From an experienced fan, I'd say the disc is definitely representative of their work, but leaves alot left to be explored. I understand that they went with the radio friendly edits, ie. the excerpt from "2112", and all we get from "Hemispheres" is "The Trees", completely skipping over the pomp and grandeur of the title track.
That said, you get some real rockers, like "Freewill", "Tom Sawyer", "Working Man" ... Read More:

I was too young to have appreicated her music when the album originally came out--how wonderful to be able to go back 40 years and catch-up. I now fully comprehend what older friends and have been raving about for so long.

Not much can be said about this that hasn't been said before.Yes,it is dark and intense and explores the deepest parts of the psyche but i don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.I think this album can be very therapeutic in a way to help release built up emotions.Embrace the way you feel when you listen to this album as it is in all of us humans."The Downward Spiral" is an emotional rollercoaster and is well worth the ride if you stay on till the end.I got this cd when it first came out and it STILL gets regular play at my house.Buy,cheat,or steal a copy of this if you have to.Just get it whatever you do!
