I literally prefer everything NKOTB have done to all of GNR's catalog.

Appetite only half a monster? I gotta disagree with that one. It’s full-on, balls-to-the-wall monster.

Anything Goes is the only real stinker on Appetite. Think About You and You're Crazy are weaker but fine.

I'd say Anything Goes and You're Crazy are the only filler tracks on that album. I always skip them.

In fairness, I also always skip Paradise City and Sweet Child O Mine but that's just because they're so overplayed.

The rest is top notch, even tracks like Think About You and My Michelle have a real charm to them.

Nightrain is one of my favourite songs of all time by any band.

I thought everyone liked 'My Michelle'. Is it considered a weaker track among fans?

I am still in shock they waited 5 years to finally release a song and they ended up with the worst song of the CD era.

Imagine someone telling you this 20 years ago?

They should have released Hard School instead.

I love it. The verse is kind of generic but the chorus more than makes up for it

Can you literally literal us some NKOTB tracks so that we know where you're coming from? There's a good chance I'm on board.

Re: Absurd —

Axl used to have one of the most uncanny voices in rock, with his vocal chords doing some sort of natural trick where it sounded like there were two people singing at the same time (this has been covered extensively by rock critics). But on Absurd, it seems his vocal chords have lost that effect, and now he’s relying on FX processing to mimic that which used to come naturally.

But can he sing Stop It Girl?

Totally wrong!

This song is meant to be sung that way, just listen to older versions of this song named as Silkworms.
I believe that the next song will have a much broader appeal and also some of Axls signature vocals (even though the vocals may be recorded several years ago)

bucketfinck....interesting.

He is nearly 60. You are talking about vocals he recorded in his 20’s.

People age and change physically. Get a fucking grip.

Yes but using fx processing to capture something lost strikes me as very corny
