Mötley Crüe Album: “20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: T”

Half of this album isn't even Crue classics!!! This isn't even a best of in my opinion!!! How could the Crue let this happen. I mean this is the worst best of I have ever seen. Everyone skip this this unless u want to use it as a toy for your dog or as a frisbie!

The Motley Crue compilation "20th Century Masters-The Millennium Collection:The Best of Motley Crue" compilation is absolutely pointless. As you've probably already seen,the record company that released this album is 20th Century Masters,and what they have done here is taken twelve songs from the Motley Crue catalog and put them all on one disc. Sure,Crue classics like "Girls,Girls,Girls","Home Sweet Home","Piece Of Yor Action",etc. are here(check the track listing above to see what all of the tracks on here are)but where are "Don't Go Away Mad"(Just Go Away"),"Wild Side","Dr. Feelgood"(their biggest hit),"Live Wire",and several other Crue classics? They are not here,and they are replaced by good(although obsecure)songs from the Crue catalog such as ALL IN THE NAME OF...,HOOLIGAN'S HOLIDAY,etc. Oh,and let me add that Motley Crue's excellent,funny,profanity soaked,middle finger towards the united states government cover version of The Sex Pistols' "Anarchy In The U.K." was chopped off-for some reason,20th century edited every single part of the song where the "F" word appeared and they also chopped off the last three seconds of the song-what was the point? They(20th Century Masters)didn't even bother letting people know on the back of the CD that The Crue's version of Anarchy was edited,and Rock 'n Roll Junkie was also edited!(censored,and just for the record,I didn't buy this CD;I heard that those two songs were edited and listened to full snippets of them on this CD that is on a music program I have on my home computer). Like the reviewer above,I too do realize that these compilations are for casual fans on the budget,but the tracklisting here isn't going to do a good job at introducing new or casual Motley Crue fans to The Crue,and this compilation isn't even good for what it is.

My recommendation:Only buy this if you are a die hard Motley Crue fan that needs EVERYTHING that has the Motley Crue logo on there. Otherwise,if you already a die hard Crue fan or you are a new Motley Crue fan(if You're a new Crue fan and you want your introduction to The Crue to be a greatest hits package,then get their new two disc set "Red,White,and Crue"--if you get it right here off of Amazon,you will be able to buy it for the price of only one disc when it is a two disc set!)then don't waste your time or your money. This is just a poor,last minute cash in attempt at music from one of the best and one of the most succesful hair metal groups the world has ever seen-Motley Crue. The music on this album deserves five stars,however,the concept and packaging only deserve one star.

This would be an awesome disc, if not for the edited format. There are only 2 songs which get edited. Teaser, and Anarchy (Anarchy is the most obvious). Like someone mentioned above, why put it on the disc, if you are gonna butcher it. Or atleast put out and un-edited version. This is Motley Crue for fu** sake, how you gonna put out only a censored version?

The Motley Crue 20th Century Masters CD is full of good tunes, but it does not actually represent the best of Motley Crue. For every hit present, there is one missing.Classics like Shout at the Devil, Home Sweet Home,Girls,Girls,Girls, and Kickstart My Heart are on this CD,but essential Crue tunes like Live Wire,Looks that Kill,Wildside,Smokin in the Boys Room,Dr.Feelgood,Without You are all missing. The songs that are on here are good songs,but due to the fact that so many essential Motley Crue songs aren't on here this isn't really a good purchase for anyone. If you know anything about Motley Crue you'll already know that many of their hits are missing just from looking at the song list,so this CD doesn't really offer anything for diehard fans, or for new fans. For a good introduction to the Crue try to find Decade of Decadence 81-91.

Besides the other reviews that mention the hits not included : ( so I won't do so now, I personaly miss Wild Side being included on this CD. I hear that song and I flash on the video. Remember the drum solo? So if other songs would of been included this CD would have gotton a higher rating. If you are collecting all Motley Crue stuff, go for it, otherwise, save your money on this collection.
