What kind of fuckery is this?
First impressions are great...it's right up my alley. I hear everything from Eddie Hazel to All Them Witches. Can't wait to listen again, probably tomorrow with a couple friends that are coming by.
Please post your reveal post, I'd like to hear why you chose it.

My mother was conservative too but she was strangely agnostic when it came to music. I had a paper route and would earn my own money to buy CDs but the only stores that sold music locally were K Mart & Walmart unfortunately the CDs were more expensive and usually edited so instead I would write down the name of the album and my mom would pick up the CD for me from Best Buy on her lunch break. She picked me up with all sorts Parental Advisory albums including Dr. Dre The Chronic and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle without so much as batting an eye.So a 14 year old Lee somehow convinced his fairly socially conservative and very religious mother (who listened primarily to Peter, Paul, & Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, and the Gaithers) to buy the cassette covered with skulls on a cross with the sticker on it at a trip to Roses.

Pretty much hated it when it came out as it was the soundtrack of all the kids that tortured me with homophobic slurs or fat names. “Paradise City” was ingrained into my head from the Burnout Paradise game. I did have a copy at one point because it was $10 or something and I thought I might like it now. I didn’t, so it went to the record store pile.I’d really like to know what lots of people think about this… off the top of my head it would be interesting to hear from @duke86fan @Kris @mcherry @nolalady @Yer Ol' Uncle D @TenderLovingKiller® I may think of others later.
An interesting thought (that I don’t agree with), Riki Rachtman says they are punk. Although, I guess in the Ramones kind of vein they are. There was an epiphany I had a couple of years ago where I realized much of the album is just straight up (think Chuck Berry) Rock N Roll. It’s just dense.
This is kind of a seminal album for me and I think for guys (especially) of a certain age. It felt dangerous and like something that was just for us.
Fun story… my first tape copy of this… the PRMC had done their thing and in NC, at the time, you had to be 18 to buy an album with a Parental Advisory sticker on it. So a 14 year old Lee somehow convinced his fairly socially conservative and very religious mother (who listened primarily to Peter, Paul, & Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, and the Gaithers) to buy the cassette covered with skulls on a cross with the sticker on it at a trip to Roses.
Thanks for posting this. I think the lyrics - especially the more misogynistic, homophobic, racist and other hateful lyrics- get overlooked given it’s importance to both popular music and metal. I think this side of the album is an important part of it legacy that gets sidelined. It’s something I’ve struggled with for sometime as an adult.Pretty much hated it when it came out as it was the soundtrack of all the kids that tortured me with homophobic slurs or fat names. “Paradise City” was ingrained into my head from the Burnout Paradise game.

I mean given your age it probably wasn’t as much of a news story. My mom’s sweet kid was listening to Guns N’ Roses and Ozzy Osborne and WASP. She might should have worried a bit more than she did.My mother was conservative too but she was strangely agnostic when it came to music.

While I totally get were you come from (and I've later understood that Axl is a total bigot) I have the total opposite experience.Pretty much hated it when it came out as it was the soundtrack of all the kids that tortured me with homophobic slurs or fat names. “Paradise City” was ingrained into my head from the Burnout Paradise game.

I get why it would be popular for other outcast kids. Lots of kids/people like mean/loud music to destress. It wasn’t the popular kids that harassed me. It was the other outcasts that had to kick someone lower than them. I was an easy target. I never fought back. The misogyny of the music really turned me off. I had honestly forgot about it till I had the record.While I totally get were you come from (and I've later understood that Axl is a total bigot) I have the total opposite experience.
I was an outcast in high school in some respect, my best friend was gay (he is now a she actually as he transed gender a couple of years ago) and this was our protest music against the popular kids who harassed us in some way, at least until Patience became a hit.
As I said, I totally get you and understand your aversion towards it. For me, this album is like lightning in a bottle though. The rest of their output is full of misogyny and bullshit macho ideals (especially LIES), but I don’t actually hear it that much on Appetite.I get why it would be popular for other outcast kids.
