Heavy 1001 is Heavy Reviews

Yeah, it's alright. I was never super into GNR growing up, but everyone around me seemed to be so I know most of these songs by heart. Listening to this again this week did nothing to endear them to me more.
Can't really diss the guitar playing too much, it's about as good as this big rock style of playing gets, though it has a super dated tone, but man did I find the drums boring. So, I have nothing against it necessarily, but since I would never choose to listen to this again, it's getting a 2 from me.

Never totally understood the hype for this album, it doesn’t sound that different from most other hair metal albums from the time, just with one of the most obnoxious singers ever. There are moments where I get the hype of this as the best of hard rock, like “My Michelle” and chunks of “Rocket Queen”, but I’d rather listen to the Aerosmith albums they ripped off.

Honestly, pretty meh on this album. I'm sure it made a big impact, but it's not a fun listen for me in 2023. Maybe I'd like it more if I hadn't heard the singles a million times. I dunno.
2.5/5
