Overview:
Motley Crue was one of the premier metal bands of the 1980’s with songs like Shout at the Devil, Kickstart My Heart and Home Sweet Home topping out some of their more popular hits. Sure they weren’t as big as Bon Jovi or Ratt, but they played some great hair metal way back in the day. Since then, however, they seemed to have fallen off of the radar until just recently. With the release of Red, White, and Crue, which was sort of an ultimate best-of album with a few original songs, they started to regain a little bit more radio time with “If I Die Tomorrow”. Shortly after that they announced that they would be making their first studio album in some number of years.
And of course, since the Crue is one of my favorite bands I picked it up day one and finally have a review written up for anyone who still cares about Motley Crue or anyone just browsing the site because you’re bored in English Class. Does their first album in years impress and win a new crowd or is it a just another Chinese Democracy?
