debut single from the band was "Down Boys", the song has been described as "one of the toughest, heaviest songs in [Warrant's] catalog, and certainly at the top of both categories in terms of their hit singles". The second single was the smash hit "Heaven" which took Warrant's record company by surprise. Indeed, once the widespread appeal of the song became apparent, the band was instructed to re-record the track to lend it a "bigger radio sound". Beau Hill remixed the song for the single release. The first 250,000 copies of the record featured the original version while later pressings featured a new version. "Heaven" had previously been recorded by Jani Lane and Steven Sweet's old band Plain Jane. "Big Talk" was released as the third single followed by the popular "Sometimes She Cries" as the fourth single. All the singles featured music videos. Reception AllMusic gave Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich a rating of four out of five stars, saying that the album was "sleek and clean, built on processed guitars and cavernous drums" and that it "sounds exactly like that year [1989], both for better and worse." Dave Reynolds of Kerrang! considers the album "hardly outstanding", with only "a bunch of distinctly average songs matched to a brace of worthwhile moments". Solo recording dispute Much of the record's solos have been unofficially credited to Mike Slamer. Beau Hill felt Joey Allen and Erik Turner were not at the standard required to compete with similar bands at the time for the solos. It was Hill who put Slamer forward, in an interview with Full in Bloom Hill claimed Slamer played all solos in all songs. However, in September 2020, Erik Turner was interviewed on the Chuck Shute podcast and stated everyone [Turner, Allen and Slamer] played on the tracks and Mike [Slamer] did some of the solos. In June 2022, Allen was interviewed on the subject and stated each solo on each song and who played what. Some songs were entirely Slamer, while others were a mix of the three and some entirely Allen. Allen states Hill wasn't particularly helpful with Turner and Allen, stating Hill required them to record "bone dry" [no effects] while allowing Slamer effects such as delay. Allen confirms he did take lessons from Slamer even after the completion of the record. Track listing Personnel Warrant Jani Lane – lead vocals, acoustic guitar Joey Allen
