Review - :
The amount of bands circa the early 21st century that worship equally at the altars of proto-punkers ({$the Stooges}), '70s {\glam} ({$New York Dolls}), and '80s {\glam} ({$Hanoi Rocks}) is staggering. But this wasn't all that common in the early to mid-'90s, around the same time that {$the 69 Eyes} issued their sophomore full-length, 1994's {^Motor City Resurrection}. The riffs are loud and the lyrics sure are stupid, but the glam-biker band wouldn't have it any other way. Tracks such as {&"Mrs. Sleazy"} (which is prefaced by a DJ slobbering all over himself how great {$the 69 Eyes} are) and {&"Hot Butterfly"} sound like they were written solely to provide strippers with a new soundtrack to strut their stuff to. Additionally, the group offers to spell out its influences loud and proud with covers of {$Kiss}' {&"Deuce"} and {$the Stooges}' obscurity {&"Gimme Some Skin."} And with the 2007 reissue of the album on the {@Cleopatra} label, the track listing is expanded to 22 tracks, including additional covers -- including {$the Stooges}' {&"T.V. Eye,"} {$Alice Cooper}'s {&"Is It My Body,"} {$the MC5}'s {&"Call Me Animal,"} {$the Misfits}' {&"Return of the Fly,"} {$the Dictators}' {&"Science Gone Too Far,"} and {$the New York Dolls}' {&"Vietnamese Baby."} Certainly not groundbreaking, but if you're still upset that {$Mötley Crüe} went commercial after {^Shout at the Devil}, {$the 69 Eyes} may provide some sleazy relief. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
