Yet another stylistic change Nov 21, 2009
Motley Crue have always been masters at changing their sound and style with each album (and years ago their image and logo as well). Saints Of Los Angeles is no exception. Musically, I think of this album as a cross between pop metal, punk, and grunge. It sounds like a mixture of those three things. It's a strong album. Not anything near their best, but a solid effort. They get points for changing their sound yet again. This band is a lot like Rush - they keep evolving and changing musically.
Top tracks for me are Face Down In The Dirt, Saints Of Los Angeles, MF Of The Year, The Animal In Me, White Trash Circus, and Goin' Out Swingin'. I don't know why Motley Crue has increased the frequency of swearing in their songs. It could be that the Crue's long career and evolution over the years with bad behavior and scandals etc. has further molded their image as rock and roll's bad boys, so they need to live up to that image in their music and lyrics. They keep raising the bar for themselves to live up to their image while simultaneously keeping the younger fans interested and entertained. These days a band like this increasingly needs shock value or the young kids will get bored. The Crue have evolved with the times. Whether that's good or bad is a matter of opinion. Personally, I don't think the Crue needs to resort to excessive swearing. The music and attitude they exude is enough to win over fans. On the other hand, the band does swear a ton at concerts. Time for the studio albums' lyrics to match the in-concert behavior? Perhaps. They have used swearing in many songs over the past three decades, but nothing like now (think Rock 'n Roll Junkie, Find Myself, some songs from the John Corabi album, etc.)
Overall, a pretty solid album. The original lineup of Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, and Vince Neil are back. This package also comes with a DVD. Recommended.
 The CRUE is ready to DOMINATE AGAIN! Aug 09, 2009
There should be no hesitation to buy this album. Motley has nailed their best album since Dr. Feelgood with Vince Neil on vocals. Generation Swine is almost a perfect album, New Tattoo is just a step under, but this album showcases why Motely Crue defined a genre of music. This album is as bare bones and balls out as they have been since Shout At The Devil. The only songs that I'm not too big on are "Chick = Trouble" (although I can definitley relate) and "Down at the Whiskey". Other than that for me this is The Best Album of 2008. Do yourself some justice and grab this one today! It's Rock and Roll as it should be.
Motley Crue still Kickin A$$! Jun 28, 2009
Another signature Crue album.takes me back to the primal scream days with the Crue attitude of old.I love these guys and the Crue just isnt Motley Crue without these 4 original rockers.The title track is an all time favorite of mine,especially the music video.

 awful sound Jun 06, 2009
Sounds like recorded with an old cassette recorder. Compressed, sharp, unbalanced, no depth, no staging, just musical noise. Even hard rock doesn't have to be like that. Good for a ghettoblaster but not for my high-end stereo.

 Time to Hang It Up May 08, 2009
Oh, MAN is this awful! This makes Theatre of Pain look like Moving Pictures, Born to Run or Led Zeppelin IV (forgive me for mentioning those great albums in the same sentence with Motley Crap). Apparently, there is still a market for this banal, unmusical garbage. Has Vince Neil killed anyone with drunk driving lately? I guess he can't fit in a sports car with the big GUT he has now. Mick Mars is MIA, and there are at least 100 bar bands in Missouri that have a better rhythm section than Nikki "same four notes" Sixx and Tommy "Retard" Lee.
