Impression: Vince, Neil, Nicky and Tommy have come a long way since their early days.


It's Vince, Mick, Nikki and Tommy. Not Vince, Neil, Nicky and Tommy.

Wow. You know, the last time I read something about the Crue was when Tommy Lee left. I had no idea he came back, but now I know he's back, this is looking pretty good! I'd love to see them again.

I'm sorry but the new record sucks I really wanted to like it i did but... it sucks the only good song is Saints of Los Angeles and sure I am going to get flamed but I dont care really it has to be said this album is Crue in spirit but it's just a bunch of 50 year old men wishing they were 21 again dont get me wrong I love Motley Crue I grew up with Nikki Vince Mick and Tommy but this record sounds like 50 year old men wishing they were 21 plus it's what you get when you mess with the age old formula of just Nikki writing the songs, On this record everyone contributed; oh well I have backstage passes to Crue Fest so I hope that turns out awesome Long live the Crue

I've always been a Motley Crue fan but god I hate this album. Some of the songs are ok but I was very disappointed. Simply awful.

Poison Dave :
some of the songs are alright. not a very good crue record overall.. they're just marionettes by this point["lawl" at ghostly mick mars looking like he has to be held up unintended, but kind of funny], considering the guys from sixx a.m. wrote the majority of this album[which is pretty transparent]. usually i dont really care if a band uses a songwriter; however, the heroin diaries sucked out loud. DJ Ashba and James Michael couldn't write their way out of a wet paper bag...whatever that means.

Pretty good album. i was never a huge fan of some of Crües older stuff aside from Wild Side, Shout, Kickstart, and those kinda things but this is really good.

Better than Sick Love Song, anyways :p:

WhyteChocl8 :
The album is great very impressive. I was worried a Generation Swine may have occured but no its good Crue. This proboly would be the follow up to the Dr.Fellgood album they did in '94 with John Corabi(love that record Crab kicks ass) if they had Vince on it. Even if ya dont dig it they still put on a killer show and will kick ass.

Albums pretty good, but theres not enough classic crue guitar riffs, too many songs are made from power chords, but im enjoying the album, better than most stuff out there.

sparky721 :
This Album kicks ass. I've been a fan of the crue since '85 and I think Nikki's song writing is amazing. Vince sounds stronger then ever on lyrics. Tommy's hittin' the drums like never before. And Mick, come on, can't say enough good things about Mick other then the fact he is the most under rated guitar player. He doesn't glam it up with fast riffs, he plays to the song and for that he makes every fricken track on this album catchy. I haven't been able to take the CD out of my car yet, screw the radio....

YourVillain :
alas, this is but a minor qualm.


Sorry UG Team, had to pick you up on this seeing as the rest of your review was so painstakingly eloquent.
This was the second time you said "minor qualm".
"Alas" would indicate something worse should follow, eg. "alas, this does not stand up to previous songs", rather than a optimistic statement, and while it's refreshing to see people use words like "fatuously" on UG, isn't it a bit pretentious to phrase your sentence "this is but a minor qualm"?

You are of course correct in a sense. However, as a reviewer I'm quite the nit-picker. My friends and I are aware of this, and we find it quite ironic/hysterical when I use 'alas' before a sentence of positive connotations! It's an intentional mistake so to speak; the point is to be disappointed that there is nothing to criticise.

I suppose I shouldn't use insider jokes online.

Yours,

Sam

Epiphone's do rock, don't they? lol, yeah, I saw the Crue on the 15th, and it was so freaking awesome, and S.O.L.A. is pretty freaking awesome too.

Good Album...idk i didn't personally like some of the tracks, but it still was worth the money.

I'm just glad to see they're back. If an adjective could describe this album it would be "crue."

Demonbass92 :
i love motley crue so i decided to get this album, so i did and listened to it and the songs really started off to me as quite normal and average, then i kept listening to the album and im so glad i did, they really grow on you, now i think they're all brilliant!

bmk920 :
on the review up top when they are talking about the cd they said that the band members still have something to offer but i was wondering why they put vince, neil, nikki, and tommy and not have mick in there in stead of neil must be a typo please fix and give mick credit

well i listened to the album and i thought "this is nothing like their old days." i mean i guess i can't expect something spectacular, like their dr. feelgood album, it was alright but really i think its a 6.
