My Thoughts: Not so good, definitely overrated. This album has maybe 3 or 4 good song, but the rest of it is some of the Crue's true worst songs ever! Shit, even Motley Crue themselves hated this album! The album cover is pretty cool though. I actually the vinyl of this album as well (along with Too Fast for Love nad SHout at the Devil, I got em a year ago) , if it weren't for songs like "Home Sweet Home" or "Save our Souls" this album would be a total shitfest.
Track List
1. City Boy Blues
Raing: 2/10
Already we're off with a pretty bad start. I agree with the band that the demo version is better.
2. Smokin' In The Boys Room
Rating: 8/10
I gotta tell ya, I enjoy this version a hell of a lot better than that shit Brownsville Station or whatever their name is put out! But I have gotten pretty worn out of it so it gets an 8. It's alot better than the last track.
3. Louder than Hell
Rating: 10/10
This song kicks ass. I was very glad when they played when I saw them in concert. I haven't the slightest idea in Hell why the demo was put on the enhanced CD version of Shout at the Devil.
4. Keep Your Eye On The Money
Rating: 10/10
Wow man, things are starting to go well with the album! A pretty god song but I rarely listen to it.
5. Home Sweet Home
Rating: 10/10
The infamous power ballad. This song is definitely one of the best power ballads of all time, along with KISS' Goin Blind and Ozzy's Mama I'm Coming Home. I really liked it. I made my own name for it: The 'Beth' of Motley Crue, since it's a ballad that's played so fuckin much.
6. We Need A Lover Tonight
Rating: 0/10
Just when things were starting to look up for this album, they put what I believe is in the top 10 worst songs in Crue history. It's bad, and that fuckin chorus gets REALLY annoying!
7. Use it Or Lose It
Rating: 4/10
An OK song, not great in the least bit.
8. Save Our Souls
Rating: 10/10
The best song on the album by far. This was actually the first Crue song to be featured in a movie, which was Demons BTW. It's too bad it could be ona better album.
9. Raise Your Hands To Rock
Rating: 0/10
A shitty acoustic song that gets really annoying and you have to have extreme patience and tolerance to listen to the whole thing with headphones.
10. Fight For Your Rights
Rating: 2/10
This song is another fine example of shit in the Crue camp.
Rating: 4/10
Final Words
This is a fine example of Motley Crap. A better name for this album would be "Album of Pain" I know that 5 of the 10 songs I said were good, but those other 5 really bring this thing down hard So I will give it a 4. I know a lot of people call this one of their favorite but that's just not the case with me. Sorry.
