seely Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 A lot of hate for the UYI albums around here lately it seems.So I pose the question, taken as a whole, would you argue that the UYI albums considered as one big album (which they basically are) is better than the mighty AFD?I favour AFD over any individual album, but when UYI is taken as a whole I'm more inclined towards that.Not an original thread but fuck it, i'm bored.

AndreCC Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) My favorite album from GNR is Use Your Illusion 1, only because i like the variety in it and the complexity of it.however when i picture myself without It's so Easy (my favorite GNR song), Jungle, Brownstone, SCOM, Roquet Queen and My Michelle, it leds me to think that Use Your Illusion really isn't my favorite GNR album, and that would have to be Appetite for Destruction and maybe i'm just tired of it, because i heard it all the time.So my vote goes for Appetite!

trqster Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 AFD is a piece of (rock) art and a timeless album and UYI is just a great album(s) - much less raw, 'pure' and angry than AFD. Too much influence already from Axl in some songs with that overdubbing crap, keyboards and synths that ultimately destroyed Gn'R a few years down the road... So not really comparable imo.

Towelie Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Both great records. AFD is the perfect hard rock album and is the definitive GNR record. It's far more cohesive and has less filler. But I admire UYI for it's sheer scope and ambition. It's a more experimental and grandiose record. I haven't voted because I can't choose between the two.

Daedalus Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Appetite - it's raw and sexy but really well put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aletka Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The Illusion albums are the best in my honest opinion. I believe everyone in the band achieved their best levels, especialy Axl, whose voice is just out of this world. I really love Appetitte, but the Illusions took GnR to another level for me!!!

Fin Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Ilusion has the better songs for sure. I agree AFD is (much) more cohesive.Vote goes to Illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I love both albums, some songs on the UYI's are better than AFD songs, but overall, AFD for me (UYI contains some fillers, AFD not really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
