 Motley deliver the goods...A+++ June 26, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am stunned at how good this album is. Although I hoped for the best, I was actually expecting to be disappointed, but the Crue have delivered some serious rock with Saints of Los Angeles. The CD opens with the roaring "Face Down in the Dirt," which is an all-out rocker, and it just doesn't let up through track 13.
The production of this album is excellent. The guitar tone is as raw as Mick sounds when they play live. It's loud & rude and aggressive from start to finish. Unlike some of the older Crue albums where the bass is buried and inaudible, Nikki's bass cuts through on each track. And then there's the drums. Up until now, I'd say Tommy's best playing was on their self-titled album featuring Corabi. But on SOLA, Tommy's playing is outstanding. He's creative and interesting without overplaying. Few drummers can pull that off, but Tommy does.
All the tracks are good, but my favorites are "Face Down in the Dirt," "Down at the Whiskey," "Just Another Psycho," and "This Ain't a Love Song." Interestingly, the title track on here sounds even better than the single I downloaded from iTunes.
Motley delivered the goods on this one.
Better than what I expected June 25, 2008

I got this the day it came out. It is way better than what I expected. I see people bashing these guys, why? Their music was never about being serious. It has always been about good times and the excesses of life.
Vince Neil sounds better than he has in a long time. The music is tight and very well polished. So what if they older now, they still have fun doing what they do. This is a good CD.It has shades of the 80's all over it. I miss those times. Motley Crue's music was the soundtrack of me growing up.
If you are a fan then try this one. It will suprise you as to how good it really is.
Motley Crue Is BACK! July 14, 2008

Saints Of Los Angeles is a true return to classic form for Motley Crue! With the original lineup intact, they sound as fresh as they did back in 1985! The title track "Saints of Los Angeles" is reminiscent of their song "Wild Side" from back in the day! Vince Neil has the same vocal abilities that he did in the 80's--Truly fantastic album! If you buy this one I guarantee it will not dissapoint!

The bad boys of rock deliver! August 31, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Having been a Motley Crue fan ever since I first herd the opening riff to Live Wire back all those years ago, the band has managed to keep me interested in what they're doing to this day.
I've loved some of their release and though others were sub par, Generation Swine and Theater of Pain were pretty crappy to say the least. However they have also had some real gems along the way as well. The first release was awesome and Shout was as every bit as exciting to hear. Girls had a few great tunes and lots of filler. Dr. Feelgood was a very good cd and probably their best one to that point and time. I was one of a few who really enjoyed the cd they released with John Corabi on vocals as that cd brought the band to a more straight ahead feel and took them away from the 80's hair metal daze. However that line up didn't last long unfortunately and that's a shame as that release is one of my favorites from this band.
This new release is a fresh start really after being apart for a few years and doing other things with other people. Well I'm happy to say that I really believe that this latest release from the bad boys of rock is by far their best one in years. In fact, I might go as far as saying it's the most cohesive effort of all time. The tunes are all very solid and sound alive and very fresh. They don't sound dated at all, which means this band with Vince at the mike has manage to evolve which is something I though they couldn't do with Vince at the helm. Nothing against Vince, but the Motley Crue with Corabi evolved in spades and when Vince returned it was back to the same sounding hair metal 80's that was past it's prime in a big way.
However like I said, this new Crue is just that, it's fresh sounding, it's well put together from a song writing prospective as all the tunes are solid even though their are no hits as a few have pointed out. It's just a darn good listen from start to finish. The production is also very well done as the instruments are heard and felt, which of course is the way it should be. You wont find any thin sounding instruments here, great job.
I might even go as far as saying, it just might be the best release ever! If this is the kind of future release we should expect from a revitalized Motley Crue?, then bring it on cause it kicks butt!
