gunsfanoldie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It may be bad, but I will say that whenever I see it it gets me in the mood to eat some pasta or noodles. Every fucking time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It must have been too much of an inside joke for the world to understand the cover. I loved it , it's cool and original.Chinese Democracy had one of the best album covers I have seen, absolutely loved the red hand. A true same it got replaced by an awful bicycle with a basket and the band's name horribly spray-painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Axl must have been telling jokes into the cover designer's earpiece while he was trying to make it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not An FSB Agent Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The entire album was a joke, and convince me that the band was on its last legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I second Dirty Work. In fact the Stones have developed something of a habit of producing truly abysmal album art in their old age, case in point Emotional Rescue, Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge. Slash has had a couple of garish efforts in recent years, all tattoo style covers featuring skull motifs. Queen's Jazz and The Game are cheap and nasty affairs. I also have always found Pet Sounds a bit corny. Here is a cover which should have made it, Edited August 31, 2014 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I like the album overall a lot. After all the epics and big production type things the band had become, TSI sort of felt like Appetite part 2 to me. Not nearly as good honestly, but other than SIDHY, it's a pretty hard album.

EvH Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Great production on it too. Great guitars, and Matt's drum sound is ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Great production on it too. Great guitars, and Matt's drum sound is ace.Plus Axl never sounded better. The album gets judged unfairly because its a covers album and because of it being the last real gnr album. But honestly for me, I listen to tracks off it more frequently than Appetite (for the most part). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah it sounded much better production wise than UYI. It felt like a proper two guitar band again and Matt fit much better. An original album with that lineup (no Dizzy) would have been killer.

But honestly for me, I listen to tracks off it more frequently than Appetite (for the most part).I'm with you dude. I agree that Axl sounds fantastic and its the heaviest GNR ever sounded. I thought Matt, Gilby, Duff, and Slash had hit a nice groove with SI. They sound very tight, very sharp on that album. Axl sounds raspier on that album that he ever has-maybe save for the 2nd half of Lies. I also think the production is very good. I listen to Spaghetti far more than Appetite too. People judged it all wrong- I think UYI was still in the consciousness and people were confused by Spaghetti. As a covers album, its one of the best ever imo. I think its probably my favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they spent years and years trying to put those songs together. They were having fun while recording it, they also recorded most of it throughout the UYI tour.If you take it for what it is, it's a good album.

magisme Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Other than Human Being and maybe SIDHY, I don't understand why people say Axl is good on TSI. Where else is he good? I guess HOTD, but he sounds almost cartoonish on that track. Lol at anyone who comes in here with some Ain't it Fun bullshit.
