5 / 5	Like a fine wine they get better with age. Scott Church "LITTLE DONKEY" (PEMBROKE.WALES) - 23 June 2008 The title track is awesome for any rock fan, however true crue fans will see this album for what it really is, long overdue BUT well worth the wait, the albums after the Girls Girls Girls era are more real, not dated even the 12 year old Generation Swine still sounds great today, i think the band have grown up and started acting like musicians not wannabe rock posers. lets hope they come back to the UK. My favourite ice cream is mint choc chip if thats any use ... Read Full Review »
3 / 5	Bit of a let down. Mr. A. Anson "Lexifer Crowley" (Bristol, UK) - 23 July 2008 First things first. This is a good album. At times it sounds like it could've been a great album. That said, there's waaaaay too much outside interference and it shows. Animal In Me is pretty much just a Sixx:AM track with better drumming. The production, as well, while chunky and modern, just isn't quite right. They should really have stuck with Bob Rock for this album. Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx's backing vocals are missing and the beauty-in-simplicity writing of the classic Shout At The Devil and Too Fast For Love albums seems to have gone entirely. There're no massively memorable riffs, either; not a single Too Fast For Love, Piece Of Your Action, Dr Feelgood, Slice Of Your Pie or Take Me To The Top among them. That said, the first 6 tracks are all great, as are the last 4, so for the most part the album's pretty damn sweet. It's just not quite up to the standard of the classic albums (the aforementioned first two), though it's better than Theater Of Pain. Though what isn't, right? Nonetheless, a strong, ballsy effort that sounds like it's being performed by a band half their age. And for that perhaps, they should be applauded. Oh, the title track's an absolute classic already and is bound to be great on tour. Go see 'em! You seriously won't regret it. Also, I doubt you'll regret buying this album. Even though I just appear to have slated it pretty hard, it's still a damn good record with a songwriting standard that never sinks too low. I can sing the chorus to every song off it and there're albums I've heard a lot more times that I can't say that about.... Read Full Review »
2 / 5	L.A.M.F.? An appropriate Album Title Could Have Been L.A.M.E. Stephen St. Stephen (England) - 26 July 2008 Oh Dear. The wish was never answered, I was hoping this album would either display a return to form (Too Fast for Love, Shout at the Devil, Theatre of Pain, Girls... and elements of Doctor Feelgood). Not a chance, all this appears to be is music by numbers. There are much better bands out there playing passionate music, writing superior lyrics that will never have a chance because they don't carry the Motley Crue brand name (most of them from Sweden). I can't give a blow by blow account on the tracks because they aren't memorable enough - never had that problem with early Crue. No wonder if you ever see them live they play mainly from their back catalogue - which is great. The band should have changed their name when Corabi was in the fold and continued to mature in that direction - if that's what the intention is of this album(?) because all they're doing now is providing bullets for their detractors. My advice would be to buy the aforementioned albums and the much maligned but equally superior and misunderstood '94 album. This album marks a missed musical chance at a high profile level but the Crue won't care about that as long as the money keeps rolling in. All they now seem to champion and represent is the gutter. Sad. Sweet Trade... Read Full Review »
5 / 5	much, much better spike "Robot In Disguise" (united kingdom) - 28 June 2008 having got back together for the first time in what was years after the dreadfully recieved generation swine album the two new studio tracks they made for the red, white and crue best of album was rusty and un-rehearsed in comparison to their succesful comeback tour so their new studio album banishes that since they have put in plenty of effort and time in making saints of los angelese as the tracks like LAMF, the title track etc are reminiscent of the era whey they burnt a hole in the ozone layer while the mothers locked up their daughters as the crue made themselves known in town die hard fans may not like the modern production techniques surrounding the album but lets appreciate what they have done as since most bands have a unpredicatble personality when getting back together end up imploding just when things are finally getting back into place but considering they are behind plans to launch the crue fest to rival that of the greedy consumanate machine of the now defunct ozzfest festival it seems the party is just around the corner lets hope they bring it to the UK...

5 / 5	Outstanding Cyco Blitzkrieg "C69" (Scotland) - 2 July 2008 This is what Motley Crue are best at, no frills rock and roll . I love this album from the first track to the last and let's face it you can't say that about too many albums out there, the production on the album is fantastic in that it really captures the energy of the band, the Crue are back at thier best and long may it continue !!!!
