Double album on black vinyls. 2022 remastered from the analogstereo tapes

The difficult second album is one of the perennial rock &roll clichés, but few second albums ever were as difficult as UseYour Illusion. Not really conceived as a double album butimpossible to separate as individual works, Use Your Illusion is ashining example of a suddenly successful band getting it all wrongand letting its ambitions run wild. Taking nearly three years tocomplete, the recording of the album was clearly difficult, andtensions between Slash, Izzy Stradlin, and Axl Rose are evidentfrom the start. The two guitarists, particularly Stradlin, aretrying to keep the group closer to its hard rock roots, but Rosehas pretensions of being Queen and Elton John, which isparticularly odd for a notoriously homophobic Midwestern boy.Conceivably, the two aspirations could have been divided betweenthe two records, but instead they are just thrown into the blender— it’s just a coincidence that Use Your Illusion I is aharder-rocking record than II. Stradlin has a stronger presence onI, contributing three of the best songs — Dust n’ Bones, You Ain’tthe First and Double Talkin’ Jive — which help keep the album inStonesy Aerosmith territory. On the whole, the album is strongerthan II, even though there’s a fair amount of filler, including adippy psychedelic collaboration with Alice Cooper and a song thattakes its title from the Osmonds biggest hit. But it also has twoambitious set pieces, November Rain and Coma, which find Rosefulfilling his ambitions, as well as the ferocious, metallicPerfect Crime and the original version of the power ballad Don’tCry.
