 Motley Whoo Hoo! June 9, 2008
Christina Ann Palomar (Chicago, IL)
Was glad to find this Motley Crue CD on Amazon and couldn't wait to get it. Because of Amazon Prime, the transaction not only was quick, but smooth as well. It's classic Crue - everyone should have this CD.
Louder Than Hell April 4, 2008
P. Myers (Alberta)
Another hard hitting metal album from the crue with a classic cover that suits them to a T. Motley = Metal!
Not Just Home or Smoke January 7, 2008
A2R DJ Dan (Hazlet, NJ)
Most people when they think of this Crue CD (or as when I originally got it back when it came out on cassette) they tend to label it the "Home Sweet Home" album. Or they also recall the popular cover of "Smokin' in the Boys Room." While those are certainly good songs in their own right and everybody used to vote for those videos on MTV (especially "Home") I always felt this collection was more about the "other songs." It starts with what might be my fave Crue song ever "City Boy Blues" which might be Nikki Sixx's best lyrics and the chorus is powerful "I just can't seem to break the shackles of the City Boy Blues". Other non-greatest hit gems include "Keep Your Eye on the Money", "Use it or Lose It", and the best part of getting this enhanced CD is the extras which have a great twist on "Smokin'..." Overall, it fits the label of "Crucial Crue."
pretty good, but not great January 12, 2007
J. Hasbrouck (New York)
This is the third album by Motley. They had already become arena warriors with their previous album "Shout at the Devil". While "Shout" and "To fast for love were great", this album finds Motley Crue slipping a bit. Their are some good songs:"Save our souls, Louder then hell, Home sweet home, but their are also plenty of filler like "fight for your rights" and "Raise your hand to rock". The punk feel and attitude of their first two albums is all but abandoned. While the songs are as catchy as ever, Motley Crue sounds slightly subdued. It's a good album, but after the first two discs Motley Crue seems like their excesses are starting to catch up to them.
Theatre of Pain, a hard to rate album. November 23, 2006
L. Floor (ELYRIA, OH United States)
The Theatre of Pain album came out in 1985 right when hair metal was starting to take over the scene. Now Motley Crue were always more glam then hair, but in this album they are full blown hair metal, and thats not nessecarily a bad thing. However, this album pictures Motley Crue at there worst shape, all 4 members were dependent on drugs and it was starting to slur there music and song writing. Along with the fact a few songs were over played. Let's look at the cd packaging.
Cd is remastered perfectly with bonus tracks and is in hard cover case. 5/5
Inserts - alot of cool photo's, linear notes from the band members, and song lyrics are all included. 5/5
Song time
City Boy Blues - This is my favorite track on the album, its got good lyrics and good music to go along with it, a great opener. 5/5
Smokin' in the Boys Room - This song is one of the most over rated, and over played Motley Crue songs, it dosen't even sound that good, if it weren't so played it might not be so bad but in this case it is, I do listen to it but not very often. 2/5
Louder Then Hell - This is a short song, with some good lyrics and good music to back it up, my 2nd favorite song on the cd. 5/5
Keep Your Eye on the Money - This song was a message from the band telling them not to sell out and make sure you know your audience, its an ok song with good music. 4/5
Home Sweet Home - This is the better of the singles for this cd, but this one isn't that good either, its highly over rated but its better then smokin'. 3/5
Tonight (we need a lover) - This song isn't that bad, its got ok lyrics and ok music, but just not that super, 4/5
Use it OR Lose it - Another short song on the cd but this one sounds decent. 4/5
Save Our Souls - this song seems a bit repetitive, but it still sounds ok, just not superb. 4/5
Raise Your Hands to Rock - This song is not that good, Vince's voice sounds annoying on it, and the music isn't that good and its short in time length. 2/5
Fight for Your Rights - This song is good, it had good lyrics and the music is good enough to back it up. 5/5
Bonus Tracks -
Home Sweet Home Demo - This demo actually sounds better then the song, if they had put this one on instead of the one they did, it would have been a better song. 4/5
Smokin' in the boys room - It dosen't have the harmonica on it, which does make the song sound a little better. 3/5
City Boy Blues - This demo is actually better then the song they put on it, and I love the one they put on it. 5/5
Home Sweet Home instrumental - this is ok, just its not that good. 2/5
Keep Your Eye on the Money - Once again, this demo is better then the song. 5/5
Tommy's Drum piece - This is a rare track that has alot of value for true crue fans, 5/5
Along with a video for Home Sweet Home - that video is ok, but not good enough. 3/5
So over all if they had put the demo's on it instead if would have sounded alot better, it would have sounded more like Shout at the Devil. However they were in the studio for months doing this cd, and it was way too over glossed.
overall rating - 4/5
