The second part is much better now. The usage of the blue-ish color at the cover represents a relaxing, bluesy, and laid-back tunes, but looks like the gang still kept the anger and hatred on couple tracks, "Get In The Ring" and "Shotgun Blues".

The Terminator soundtracks, "Civil War" and "You Could Be Mine" are two spontaneous love at first listen. "Yesterday" is a light rock with a passionate vocal and delirious rhythm. The rendition of Dylan's classic, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is another instant hit, made a good stadium chant in every concert they held. "Estranged", the last section of the ballad trilogy, is one of their masterpiece, featuring a captivating voice and a breathtaking solo by the Axl Rose-Slash duo. The closer, "My World", is blatantly their worst creation and an unnecessary filler, but to be honest, not many songs I hate here, an enjoyable disc packed with many good songs, if I have to pick one, I chose blue over yellow.
