Motley Crue-Shout at the Devil
Surprisingly this album did not get good reviews when it first came out. Motley Crue doesn't have the shallow lyrical content of Kiss and doesn't have the dark brilliance of Guns and Roses-so people have a hard time classifying them. Like most hair bands Motley Crue is underrated by trendy hipster magazines like Rolling Stone. Motley Crue is without question one of the better hair bands out there.
My favorite song off this album is the title track-which I find to be one of the best hair metal songs of the era. It's loud, cocky and arrogant-just like the era it represents. "Ten Seconds to Love" and "Helter Skelter" (the classic Beatles song) are the other two betters songs. This album is a better than their first release, "Too Fast for Love" and not as good as "Dr. Feelgood" or "Girls, Girls, Girls".
I thought this was their only good album. Looks That Kill and Shout At The Devil were the best songs.
