Music : Saints of Los Angeles

Rating: - Saints: Too Fast For LA
Crue in great album shocker! Seriously. I quite liked the lesser known and more recent Generation Swine and the eponomous Motley Crue albums, but really they've never hit the heights of their first album. I surely never saw this coming. For me, Shout at the Devil, Girls, Dr Feelgood and Theatre of Pain were an increasingly horrible attempt to ingratiate themselves to the MTV generation. Guns n Roses stepped in and took the credible metal vote while the Crue whored themselves into a panto act. But here there's a return to that scratchy under-produced brilliance, with a bit of craft that they picked up along the way. I don't normally do 5 stars.

Rating: - Their best album since Dr. Feelgood
Ive been a fan of the Crue for just over 4 years now and in my opinion the albums they made in the 80s are some of the best rock albums ever recorded. During the 90s their albums got a bit more experimental and the songs they were writing just werent up to the stantard of their earlier work. So after I had heard 2 new songs, 'if I die tomorrow' and 'sick love song' a couple of years ago I was praying that they would release a new album. That album turned out to be S.O.L.A, with James Michael and DJ Ashba handling production I knew that the album would sound amazing. Each song is 100% crue at its best; Mick Mars blasts out some of the best rock riffs ive heard in a long time, and Vince Neils voice hasnt sounded this good since Dr. Feelgood. All together the album is what you would expect from the crue right down to the smallest detail.

Rating: - A decent outing from the Crüe.
Fans everywhere will be pleased to see Mötley Crüe release a brand new full-length album of original material and the results are certainly pleasing! The first two singles released off the album, Saints Of Los Angeles (Gang Vocal) and MF Of The Year, are both true Crüe songs full of attitude! They won't disappoint old Crüe fans and they'll definitely shake the nerves of new fans in true Crüe loud-mouth in-your-face style! Face Down In The Dirt is another great tempo, peddle-down song that certainly satisfies the Mötley Crüe-loving ear. However, whilst the rest of the album produces a good musical package as a whole, the notable singles are more limited. Rather than an album full of standout classics, it's more of a nice package altogether, but limited in notoriety individually. Mötley Crüe fans will want to grab this album for sure. It is an explosive Mötley offering. But it fails to draw the acclaim of past Crüe albums, and if you're a newcomer to Mötley Crüe, then perhaps you'd be better purchasing their older works or Red White & Crue for a taste of their most loved work. A good album though, just not a masterpiece of the past. But that's just this fan's opinion... make yours for yourself!

Rating: - Best Ever Heard!
It's the best album I've ever heard, & really worth for you to wait for 8 years! I listened the album on the band's iLike, then I want to purchase the album myself. I haven't bought any CDs for 3 years! This is the album I buy, & so should you, if you're MC fans!

Rating: - WAKE UP CALL !!!!!
I'm writing this review halfway through the 4th song...And Holy......Damn is this good....I think this album is a wake up call for all the new rock bands out there as to what Rock is and What Rock isn't.. For those of you who grew up on True Rock this album is for you.... For the posers and the commercial bands out there...This is a Rock N Roll dictionary.... I think Motley Crue are back to show they can still Rock Hard and Ride Easy...
