I'm sorry; I like a lot of "stupid" rock music, but this stuff is just too far over the edge into spandex town.
I will cut you some slack because you were in diaper school when this LP came out; I remember it as a teenager, and I remember hating it. A lot.
There are a lot of "flawlessly done" albums with crappy songs, derivative playing and unlistenable vocals. It doesn't make them any better.

That's just it, I don't like GnR. It's only my opinion, but in spite of disliking them, I think that for their 'genre' (I'm really growing to hate that term), they made an exceptional album.
That was part of their appeal as well - their complete absurdity. You're right, they were over the top, but they knew it, and played it up for all it was worth.
