rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Pantagruel - Funny how everything was roses When we held on to the guns --line from "Breakdown" I thought that Use

musc mu-107481: Above average, but lacking the emotion of Use Your Illusion I

Thu, 8 Sep 2005 13:11:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - Originally I bought this album because Guns and Roses’ Use Your Illusion I was well above average, and I figured this one would be, too. It turns out that Use Your Illusion II is decent, but it lacks the...

musc mu-107481: This Illusion is the best.

Sun, 4 Apr 2004 17:29:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dontcry1991 - This album made number one and it's competitor made number two. They were the only band in history to have two albums in the top 5. And the only ones to have meaningful and depressing lyrics. They had different instruments used. And its sad that some...

Sun, 29 Sep 2002 01:17:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeff_wilder78 - If there was one band that never quite reached the potential that they could (should) have, Guns N Roses was it. When they came along in the late 1980s, they provided an excellent alternative to much of the hair-metal and lame pop music that was plaguing...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kat2081 - I have rated this fine CD with five stars because, to be honest, it is one of the only CD'S that I can put in my player and leave on rotation. Most of the songs are truly epic, and I explain my favourites, the pro's and con's of each below -

musc mu-107481: It's All An Illusion!..... (Part II)

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 18:40:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author headlessparrot - This is the second of my Use Your Illusion reviews, and it will probably be the final, unless I go and decided to buy the Use Your Illusion "best" disc for some Go forsaken reason. That explains the title if you were wondering. And if the first...

musc mu-107481: Illusions of grandeur… part two.

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 15:33:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mans_daddy - Released in the September of 1991, this, the second part of the ‘Use your Illusion’ set, was basically the cornerstone of Axl Rose’s scheme to turn G N’ R into the biggest band on the planet. As well as taking the bold step of releasing two double albums...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kate99gnr - Just when you thought that Guns N' Roses was finished, they went out and amazed the rock n' roll world by introducing their new album "Use Your Illusion II" in September of 1991. This album was the continuation to their first album, entitled "Use Your...

musc mu-107481: Guns n' Roses realizing their full potential.

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 10:54:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Matt_Stein - It's hard to argue that a record like Use Your Illusions II is anything but fantastic, except when it's following up one of hard rock's most memorable debut albums such as Appetite for Destruction. As great as Appetite was, however, Use Your Illusions...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author whiteyed - If I could find something to hate about this, I would let you all know. This is another masterpiece by Guns N' Roses.

Let's start with the basics....

musc mu-107481: Gn'R At It's Best (except "My World")

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 14:28:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tb_slash - After countless hours in the studio, working and reworking songs, bickering between bandmates Guns N' Roses came out with a double whammy of some of their best work with Use Your Illusion I and II. The friction of making these albums tore Izzy Stradlin'...

Sun, 19 Nov 2000 09:23:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnwhite - The production of Use Your Illusion II is crisp and clear with all instruments easily audible. I have so many memories from seventh grade and twelfth grade (when I rediscovered it) because of this disc.

Civil War is nearly eight minutes long –...

musc mu-107481: No Illusions Here. They Still Stick To Their Guns

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 07:20:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drjack187 - Way back in the day in 1991, Guns N’ Roses released two highly anticipated albums titled Use Your Illusion I and II. This is a review of the latter of the two, or as I prefer to call it, ‘The Blue One’. This is the only GNR...

musc mu-107481: How Can Someone Give Their "Favorite Album Ever" 3 Stars?

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 21:14:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awoolcott - It’s true it’s true - my favorite music CD of all time is only worthy of 3 stars. As odd as it sounds, this CD deserves not much more than three stars. It qualifies as my favorite ever, though, due to the strengths of the epic songs that this CD...

musc mu-107481: Rock Music of the Highest Quality

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 23:35:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MattA75 - When Guns N'Roses released their two Use Your Illusion albums in the fall of 1991, they were so highly anticipated that one of them set the first week sales records for a new release. That record happened to be Use Your Illusion II,...

musc mu-107481: As good as Appetite for Destruction!

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 21:52:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Flyguy_1 - Oh my heavens! I struggle with the question "which album is better Appetite for Destruction or Use Your Illusion II?"...I guess I would be forced to say Appetite...but only because of how it changed the state of Rock at the time...

musc mu-107481: Not As Good as I, But Better Than Most

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 23:55:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fixxxerny - I don't know what it is about this good album, but I tend to put in Illusion I instead of this one. I don't have a reason really. I love Breakdown, and especially love the long Locomotive and Estranged, which are 7 and 9 minutes respectively. I love...

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 12:50:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Anghonda - Use your Illusion II by Guns n' Roses just blows my mind! Guns n' Roses really knows how to bring their feelings and emotions into their music, which is obvious on this cd. Some songs from Us Your Illusion II include Civil War, Yesterdays, Knockin' On...

musc mu-107481: Some of the only great music from the 90's

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 06:25:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bort30 - This album totally blew me away when I first heard it. It hits almost all of Guns N'Roses' strengths, except for all acoustic songs. It has heavy tunes such as "You Could Be Mine" and "Pretty Tied Up", and lighter sentimental tunes...
