There are 12 songs on this album and 5 of them are classic rock n roll greats and the rest are extremely forgettable songs.

I am listening to the full album for the first time in 25-30 years and I could swear I've never heard "Out ta Get Me" before.

You're crazy, there's not a filler song on that album. One of the greatest rock albums ever.

Newp.

It's very possible to dislike that record or to single out favorites but every track has a pretty decent hook in there somewhere. If you "forget" any of them the problem is a user issue.

No. It's not great. It's the best song on the album.

Track listing for reference:

Welcome to the Jungle
It's So Easy
Nightrain
Out Ta Get Me
Mr. Brownstone
Paradise City
My Michelle
Think About You
Sweet Child O Mine
You're Crazy
Anything Goes
Rocket Queen

I would say that Easy, Brownstone, and Nightrain are better than any of the monster hits on the album.

Yes!!! Holy frick!!! HELL YES!! Rocket Queen is fricking incredible. Easily one of the best songs on a stellar album with NO weak songs. My personal favorite in fact.

And if you don’t remember Out Ta Get Me then you must not have played it all the way through very much back in the day. The moment I read that I sang to myself “I’m frickin innocent!!”

If this isn’t a troll, and I don’t think it is, then it’s one incredibly weak take.

Rocket Queen is definitely one of the best songs on the album, and that is obviously saying a lot. It is actually three songs in one -- an aggressive hard rock opener, then an interlude with solos sound effects, then a power ballad to finish up the song, and the album. Killer track.

AFD has no filler whatsoever. Probably the weakest track is Think About You, but that is still a good song. It's crazy to think that when AFD was made, Guns also had tracks like Don't Cry and You Could Be Mine already developed, but were saved for later albums.

You are the one judging an album you just "acquired". Just because every song wasn't played on mainstream radio doesn't mean there are only 5 good songs.

Uh yeah, they played Out ta Get Me on their last tour.

Still a great album. That said, Ozzy's Boneyard has been playing a couple of demo tracks in recent months. In particular Jungle. It's a great example of the difference a good producer makes.
