The bad boys of rock deliver! |
Having been a Motley Crue fan ever since I first herd the opening riff to Live Wire back all those years ago, the band has managed to keep me interested in what they're doing to this day.
I've loved some of their release and though others were sub par, Generation Swine and Theater of Pain were pretty crappy to say the least. However they have also had some real gems along the way as well. The first release was awesome and Shout was as every bit as exciting to hear. Girls had a few great tunes and lots of filler. Dr. Feelgood was a very good cd and probably their best one to that point and time. I was one of a few who really enjoyed the cd they released with John Corabi on vocals as that cd brought the band to a more straight ahead feel and took them away from the 80's hair metal daze. However that line up didn't last long unfortunately and that's a shame as that release is one of my favorites from this band.
This new release is a fresh start really after being apart for a few years and doing other things with other people. Well I'm happy to say that I really believe that this latest release from the bad boys of rock is by far their best one in years. In fact, I might go as far as saying it's the most cohesive effort of all time. The tunes are all very solid and sound alive and very fresh. They don't sound dated at all, which means this band with Vince at the mike has manage to evolve which is something I though they couldn't do with Vince at the helm. Nothing against Vince, but the Motley Crue with Corabi evolved in spades and when Vince returned it was back to the same sounding hair metal 80's that was past it's prime in a big way.
However like I said, this new Crue is just that, it's fresh sounding, it's well put together from a song writing prospective as all the tunes are solid even though their are no hits as a few have pointed out. It's just a darn good listen from start to finish. The production is also very well done as the instruments are heard and felt, which of course is the way it should be. You wont find any thin sounding instruments here, great job.
I might even go as far as saying, it just might be the best release ever! If this is the kind of future release we should expect from a revitalized Motley Crue?, then bring it on cause it kicks butt!

True Saints |
these queer roosters who are giving this Album Nasty reviews need to stick to reviewing britney spears and Backstreet boys. instead of trying to be opionated tossers of all music created.
Honestly, If your not a Crue fan F*#K OFF and Stop Spoiling the reviews for others who might actually be Crue fans!!!
Its a solid album that any true Crue fan would appreciated. |

Very Nice Return |

The title track of the album delivers! The album is very strong and the old Crüe is back. Not my favorite but I recommend it. |

Tied for best overall Neil Crue album. The Corabi album is still better, though. |
I'm sure I'll take a few negative feedback remarks for what I said about the Corabi album, but screw it. It's how I feel. Having said that...
I've written about Motley Crue a lot. I'm also on record that saying that the Crue's best record is the one they made without Vince Neil - the John Corabi record from 1994. I still believe that, but I have to admit, Saints of Los Angeles is up there. It surprised the heck out of me.
When Vince returned in the mid 90's, there were two really rather bad studio albums with him (Generation Swine & New Tattoo), and I really felt Crue was done from a studio standpoint. So it was with some trepidation that I heard they were doing a new studio album for 2008. When it got close, some entertainment website had the full album up for streaming. So I decided to give it a listen.
WOW! This is by far the best thing they've done in ages. It's not even funny. Really - that sounds like a joke, but it isn't. Saints of Los Angeles is probably right up there with Shout at the Devil for best album with Vince Neil. I still like the Corabi album better, but Los Angeles is QUITE good. There's no real filler tracks, which is a surprise. This is the point where I usually list a few tracks I like, but there isn't one I want to skip when I listen to it. Major thumbs up!
If you're a Motley Crue fan at all, I cannot recommend this highly enough. |
