Illusion Delusions Part III: Make Your Own Illusion

Music
Written By Grace Zulynik

Turns out I’m not quite sick of talking about 90s Guns N Roses yet so I’ve decided to get even more over the top and over lengthy than the records in question and turn this series from a double into a triple-stack. This time we’re doing “Make Your Own Illusion” - it’s like making a personal pizza at Dominos. There are basically 8 categories of songs on the Illusions (with some overlap) and if you didn’t like my choices from the last “Creating a Good Album from the Wreckage of Axl Rose’s Ego” post, you can mix-and-match your own! This formula gives you a very reasonable 12-song record, but if you like your double albums go ahead and throw some extra toppings on there – for you no charge.
