Title: Sounds nothing like the Crue!
Review: Except for LET US PREY and SHOUT AT THE DEVIL `97, this album sounds nothing like Motley Crue. First, where is the pounding bass drum and the wicked guitar riffs? They seem to be completely missing. Then, I don't know what he was doing, but Vince Neil sounded nothing like he did on their earlier albums. It was almost as if they had yet another lead singer there. When I listen to a Crue album, I want to hear that high pitched scream of his.Not that this was a bad album. For another band, this is a very solid rock album. Nothing special, mind you. Just a good piece of work. There weren't really any songs on the album that caught my ear...they all seemed pretty mediocre. For a Motley Crue album, it was a disappointment, but an improvement over their self titled release with John Corabi on vocals (ugh!).If you're looking for an album that smacks of old Motley Crue, then this album will be a big disappointment. It was to me.
Is the review positive or negative?
