Powerage5 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 http://www.iheartmusic.com/cc-common/news/...l/cruefest.htmlI've only listened to about half of it so far. I'm really digging it though! Deffinitely sounds like classic 80's Crue to me, just with a little more modern sound. Deffinitely their best album since Feelgood, IMO.What do you guys think of it?

Axlin08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I will personally admit, I trashed Saints Of LA (the song) in the beginning... and the song has really grown on me.I might check this out.L.A.M.F. - this is a really cool intro. Has kind of an industrial thing to it, but sounds modern.Face Down In The Dirt - instrumentally strong, but the lyrics are weakWhat's It Gonna Take - not bad. Kinda there.Down At The Whisky - good ballad-esque song. If you can get past the fact it sounds like a Bret Michaels/Poison song. No edge, straight up 80's throwback.Saints of LA - understandably the first single. One of the strongest, if not THE strongest track on the album. Pretty good Feelgood-type rocker.Mutherfucker Of The Year - great song. As catchy as Saints, but much more straight metal.The Animal In Me - great ballad, imo. This might actually end up becoming a Crue standard. Very good.Welcome To The Machine - actually thought this was a cover of Pink Floyd. It isn't. Original song, with a good vibe. Ironically, it kind of sounds like new-Guns N' Roses.Just Another Psycho - wow, another very catchy rocker. Becoming shocked, so far the majority is very strong, and EASILY the best album since Feelgood.Chicks = Trouble - one of my favorite tracks off of this new album. This has such a 'biker' vibe to it.This Ain't A Love Song - Not bad, not great. I wonder in some ways if this was a re-tooling of Sick Love Song, idea-wise.White Trash Circus - not crazy about this one. Sounds like late-album filler. This is a song you think is cool when your 16, now... it just seems lame.Goin' Out Swingin' - wow, I love this song. This sounds like something that could've been on Too Fast or Shout.

artfromtex Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Mick Mars is kicking ass on this thing. nice to hear Tommy jamming his kit again, too. really good songs. i'm a Crue fan, but i had a grim feeling about this album. i'm quite happily surprised.

F*ck Fear Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm going to wait and check out more reviews before actaully listening to it. Then hopefully it's good enough to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Not gonna lie, I downloaded it, listened to about three songs and deleted it. I wasn't much of a fan of it. But then again, I never got into Crue that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I like it. I'm waiting to hear it uncensored though. I'll buy it Tuesday for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRs00ks Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Crue sucked in the 80s, and they still suck. Weird huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

december pain Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I really like this album, there is some filler for sure, but it is a fun rock n' roll album. Cool stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridayfan13 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 motley crue has always and will always suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apollo Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I wish people would stop saying this sounds like "old" crue . . . . It doesn't.I'm a Motley fan, and from all the positive comments/buzz about this album, I was very excited to listen. Dissapointed is my review.Saints is very catchy. Great song. And yes, sounds like classic Motley.I've listened three times to the rest and not one song is worth a shit.If I Die Tomorrow or New Tattoo or Hollywood Ending are better than all the songs on this album (save Saints).

Axlin08 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I will agree If I Die Tomorrow is FAR better than anything on this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahimahi Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) The actual uncensored version leaked, and it sounds MUCH better than this stream. I didnt even bother with the stream, and im glad waited. Anyway, im listening to it now, and it sounds like classic Crue. I'm only up to song four, but im liking what im listening to. The band sounds extremely tight, cheesy lyrics aside. I still love the song "Saints Of Los Angeles", it just kicks ass and is catchy as fuck. Reminds me of how I felt when Primal Scream came out, I loved that song a lot as well.This is definitely the best album they have put out since Dr. Feelgood (with the original lineup of course, because I LOVED the album they put out with Corabi) Edited June 20, 2008 by mahimahi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahimahi Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Alright, cheesy lyrics aside, this is a very solid album, I enjoy it. The band sounds really tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah, I found the uncensored version early this morning. I went ahead and ordered the cd from Best Buy. They had free shipping, so with gas prices (it'd cost me about 10 bucks or so in gas if i went to the store to get it) that was the best route for me to take.

Big Boy Sixxx Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) its alright, its turned quite punky, and yeah i dont think that it sounds like old crue. I mean people say that but each album has a pretty different sound to it. its a good solid album so far, nothing earth shattering but then again its everything I want from the Crue. so thats fine.Chicks = Touble is a great fun song though!

Spuffy78 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It's modern Crue dabbling with their old sound, but ending up sounding dated. Still like the album better than Generation Swine and New Tattoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone947 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 If I Die Tomorrow beats the shit outta this whole album. I couldn't listen to half the songs and I love crue... i just dont know what it is.. the lyrics are shit, maybe thats whats wrong... goddamn you Axl Rose for making me actually listen to lyrics now.

Gordon Comstock Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 i kinda liked it....definately not their worst album...but everything out there is better than Generation Swine, so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlin08 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 The thing is really at the end of the day, even if you do like this album, there are other acts from their "era", putting out better records, and have been for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
