a lot better album than "illusion #1" IMO....
lots of rock ballads on this one and thats what i prefered with these guys, probably because they couldnt match the hard rock of their debut set....
fans obviously thought so also with more singles lifted from it,better chart placings(if only slightly) in most places and 20million sales as opposed
to 19million sales by "illusion #1"....
several tracks on this one i absolutely love here including their blistering assault of Dylan's "knockin' on heavens door", which incidently, my mum also loves
and shes been a mad Dyaln fan since 1962....
all up, a very good album that is only second in my mind to their debut classic "appetite for destruction"!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
