Appetite For Destruction

Appetite For Destruction - Deluxe Edition The difference in this remaster compared to the '87 release is outstanding. I'm hearing things I've never picked up on. Sounding like a recording made today. I forgot how much I enjoyed this album. The detail is precise and clear. Slash and Izzy are not as far forward. The bottom and middle are now balanced and natural sounding and the top is no longer loose. And, finally, Duff's brilliant bass can be heard clearly with body. Appetite no longer sounds like a typical CD pressed in the '80s. Disc two offers some interesting tracks. I heard Shadow Of Your Love on a demo 7" way back in '87. It's good to hear it again but cleaned up and remastered. Brought the memories flooding back. The packaging is glorious too. It as an almost metallic sheen to the outer sleeve. The booklet is well produced and the inner gatefold with the Appetite For Destruction painting on the outside. For any fan of this solid debut by a brilliant band, it's well worth a purchase. Fingers crossed for the same treatment to the Illusion albums...

An absolute monster of an album by one of the most famous bands in the world. Bought as a replacement for my previous damaged copy. Contains Rock hit after hit

My copy just had a weird stain (looked like a dry water drop) at the start of side R and the stylus does pick up on it, but when the music starts it just gets overwhelmed for however long it lasts, probably just the intro. The inner sleeves are covered inside with plastic so that the albums are not in contact with coarse material and there's a digital download for cd quality files that include a second disc of bonus tracks with some live material, very acceptable considering a lot of digital downloads included are just mp3s. The master seems to be a digital one and that's usually not preferable but since this album was probably digitally mastered since it came out i would say this could be the best edition so far with the high res masters. In general if you get a good deal on this i would recommend it since the package is very nice with the double cover (gatefold on the original cover and the other one as a sleeve) and the materials feel very premium like. If they used the cleanliest of environments when they pressed the copies this could probably be a fault-proof release.

What can I say? A classic album from the US rock legends, the CD replaces the MP3 version I had. Great album, enough said!

The remastering on these disks is very well done. There are no surprises - everything seems well balanced, with no over emphasis given to any particular instrument. I want to say that the music just sounds cleaner, but not in the sense of sterilising the sound. Maybe fresh is a better word. It's a great album and this remaster ensures its impact and power are not lost.

Superb album from start to finish!

1 for the GnR collectors really. It's very well put together and sounds great. Was nice to grab another Appetite for Destruction, I brought my original cassette in Dec 88 Tempest records Birmingham, so it was a little trip down memory lane to being 11 again. Because of its commercial success then and the refound love of the boys, I hadn't listened to the album in a good decade. So I enjoyed it. The sound quality doesn't ruin the original (the occasional remaster can) but,,,, loved the 2nd cd with the b sides n bootlegs from the early 90s that were doing the rounds. Grease the palm records and such released the demos but to have them on an official release 10/10. Just waiting on the illustration 30 years, hope they put the crash diet demo on it.

Really music. Every song is a classic.

De tous les albums de GNR, le meilleur et de loin...un classique à avoir dans sa CDthèque. Voix (ce bon vieux Axl était côté à 5,5 octaves - plus que Mariah Carrey : on comprend pourquoi vu la tessiture de voix au spectre large, musique, équilibre de l'album. Un groupe qui savait faire de la musique dans son registre, dans une époque encore créatrice : sans artifice, sans synthé : guitares-basse-batterie.

Excelente Produto ! , Atenção Pessoal o Lado Arranhado é o da grafia 3d e aparece quando o disco esta girando e a vizualização depende da iluminação ambiente na duvida usem a luz de uma lanterna para facilitar a vizualização , parem com as avaliações negativas sem nem ter colocado o disco em um toca disco.

Classic album. Already had the original CD and vinyl, but stepped it up a notch, with buying the 2 disc edition. Remastered and with several bonus tracks. Including the song "Shadow of Your Love". Which didn't make the album originally, due to a variety of reasons. Plus outtakes from the original sessions, and live and acoustic tracks. Some of which, were available on the "G n' R Lies" release. Packaging is great too. With newly added photos, from the era. There is also a 4 disc version, but a little on the expensive side. So, this 2 disc version, is just perfect.

No cabe duda, estamos ante uno de los discos con el cual la musica rock vuelve a emerger como ave Fénix. Un álbum sin fisuras, potente y directo. Grandes letras y sonidos que se graban en la memoria para siempre. Edición Deluxe imprescindible para todo seguidor de la banda. Five stars.

Sumamente excelente:") como coleccionista o casual es de ley tener este clásico de guns n roses, y se que esta edición será muy cotizada por algunos así que aprovechen
