Mötley Crüe

Disco de Mötley Crüe: “Saints Of Los Angeles [PA]”

Disco de Mötley Crüe: “Saints Of Los Angeles [PA]”
Descripción (en inglés) :
Motley Crue remain a riveting entertainment brand nearly 30 years since their inception. Happily, SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES, the band's first full-length of new material since 1997's uneven GENERATION SWINE, is an overdue return to form. The fat, contemporary production (courtesy of James Michael and DJ Ashba) perfectly suits a set of songs that lyrically reflect the bands infamous history. Much like THE HEROIN DIARIES soundtrack, SAINTS works as as the perfect musical companion to Motley's tell-all biography, THE DIRT.

- Not a classic, but a strong album

3.5 Stars

Considering that drummer Tommy Lee was absent from the band's last album "New Tattoo," (2000) that singer Vince Neil basically dubbed over John Corabi's vocals for "Generation Swine" (1997) and Neil was absent from the band's self-titled CD, "Motley Crue," (1994) in some respects Motley Crue's ninth album "Saints of Los Angeles" (2008) is the first "true" Motley album since "Dr. Feelgood" (1989).

Loosely based on the band's autobiography "The Dirt," "Saints of Los Angeles" is a semi-concept album, the major theme being the lifestyle of rock n' roll excess in the city of Los Angeles. Clocking in at 45 minutes, SOLA is a go-for-the-jugular, lean, mean, gritty album that, like "New Tattoo" sees the band, pardon the cliche, "return to their roots," after the alternative leaning "Generation Swine" and the Soundgarden/STP styling of the self-titled album.

"Saints of Los Angeles" has a lot of things going for it. For one thing the band sounds great--never better, in fact. The Crue sounds totally energized and on fire. The songs themselves also manage to sound like classic, sleazy Crue, but also have a modern touch, as the production is terrific--so "Saints of Los Angeles" sounds retro, but doesn't at the same time. The pacing of the album is also great--it's pure straight-up rock that never drags, so you can listen to the entire album all the way through without having to skip a track. The album is thoroughly enjoyable, from start to finish.

But while the album and the band sound great, SOLA unfortunately doesn't really have any truly great songs. While all the songs are definitely good--their isn't a gem like "Kickstart My Heart," "Primal Scream" or "Too Young to Fall in Love" to be found. The songwriting on "New Tattoo" was actually stronger than it is here, as those songs had more memorable melodies with stronger hooks. Perhaps next time Sixx should write most the songs himself, like he did in the past, and not rely on Michael/Ashba/Frederiksen.

While "Saints of Los Angeles" may not live up to the band's earlier work like "Shout at the Devil," (1983) "Girls, Girls, Girls" (1987) or "Dr. Feelgood," it's still a strong album, none-the-less. If you're a fan of the band, you'll definitely find something to like here.

- Motley deliver the goods...A+++

I am stunned at how good this album is. Although I hoped for the best, I was actually expecting to be disappointed, but the Crue have delivered some serious rock with Saints of Los Angeles. The CD opens with the roaring "Face Down in the Dirt," which is an all-out rocker, and it just doesn't let up through track 13.

The production of this album is excellent. The guitar tone is as raw as Mick sounds when they play live. It's loud & rude and aggressive from start to finish. Unlike some of the older Crue albums where the bass is buried and inaudible, Nikki's bass cuts through on each track. And then there's the drums. Up until now, I'd say Tommy's best playing was on their self-titled album featuring Corabi. But on SOLA, Tommy's playing is outstanding. He's creative and interesting without overplaying. Few drummers can pull that off, but Tommy does.

All the tracks are good, but my favorites are "Face Down in the Dirt," "Down at the Whiskey," "Just Another Psycho," and "This Ain't a Love Song." Interestingly, the title track on here sounds even better than the single I downloaded from iTunes.

Motley delivered the goods on this one.

- a pleasent surprise

I have to admit that when i saw that they were releasing a new album i wasnt that excited. Having been a Crue fan for many years i thought great another band ruining their legacy. I listened to the previews on Amazon and was not impressed. Still with their upcoming cruefest tour and having tickets i was still curious. i said to myself why not? its only 10bucks. so i ordered it. Now being able to listen to the songs in their entirety and unedited i have to admit that i was blown away! this is an excellent cd. it doesnt sound dated unlike some oftheir early stuff and you know it is the crue. no wuss power ballad on here. its a slower song and i guess would be considered a ballad, kinda along the same lines of system of a down's chop suey. the songs are good, very solid. i honestly think that if it is not better than shot at the devil it is a very close second. although not all of the songs are better than some of their previous work the cd from start to finish is great and that was something that they hadnt accomplished. thats my opinion. i reccommend this cd to anyone who has ever liked motley and fans of hard rock/ heavy metal.

- Outside Songwriters!?!

Well, apparently gone are the days when Motley could write songs on their own. EVERY SONG here has at least two outside writers, and most have three. I went back to my CD collection to compare, and aside from cover songs, THREE total songs out of their original lineup collection (81-89) had outside writers. What happened? Shouldn't they be better at this by now and need less help writing songs? If you want to buy this album to hear what Nikki, Mick, Tommy and Vince have to say, forget it. But if you want to hear words and chords from James Michael, DJ Ashba and Marti Frederiksen, then yeah this is your CD.
