| 5.0 classic | Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | June 30th 06 |
The terms "hair metal" and "classic" are a dubious pairing at the best of times; for a genre where a band's image was often more immediately influential than its music, few classics actually stick out. In Shout At The Devil, Motley Crue created an album that not only brought back the tough glam image, it also shaped the way heavy metal was played for the next decade and beyond.
Complete with three hit MTV singles ('Looks That Kill' 'Too Young To Fall In Love' and the title track), a raucous Beatles cover ('Helter Skelter'), as well as the token anti-police anthem, 'Knock 'Em Dead Kid' and much more, the album combined the punk intensity of their debut with traditional sunset strip and NWOBHM sounds to create a true heavy metal masterpiece.

This is all more or less not too bad (and the guitar tone is great), but - mein gott - that fucking cover of Helter Skelter makes me wanna neck myself.: nah it's bad.

The best glam metal album ever made. This stuff rules. This is why everyone likes Motley Crue. Because this album rules.

The most popular Motley Crue album. Heavier than the first one, raw and fast with songs like the title track, Looks that kill, Too young to fall in love , Red Hot and Knock ' em dead kid being true classic gems of hard rock and heavy metal!

Shout At The Devil is much improved over its predecessor and may be the band's most acceptable output, but it's still not that great of an album. "God Bless The Children of The Beast" and "In The Beginning" are nifty pieces to induce atmosphere, but very few of these tunes even possess atmosphere to begin with. Vince Neil's vocals, while better than before, are still painfully whiny at times and tolerable at best, and the rhythm section Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx are "stock" and unipressive. The album is also almost entirely midpaced which hampers the sometimes aggressive music (the t/t is the biggest victim here). However, they are redeeming qualities; Mick Mars was the most talented member of the band, and he pumped out reliable, catchy riffs and especially impressive soloing in spades here ("Red Hot," the well done Beatles cover "Helter Skelter," and "Bastard," the best song here). Had they not cashed into the glam metal scene, this would be a far better record, but it's good enough at times.

The greatest Crue album by far, and the first album that I ever really got into. It's more polished than Too Fast For Love, but has enough aggression to carry songs like Bastard (This one pissed off the PMRC!), Red Hot, and Knock 'Em Dead Kid. God Bless the Children of the Beast is really cool, and Danger is an awesome softer song. The title track is also tons of fun. There isn't anything else that's essential by Motley Crue after this. I would recommend getting the version with bonus tracks, because the demo versions have much more raw production including a PERFECT drum sound.

One of the most iconic US metal albums of the early 80's. "Shout at the Devil", "Helter Skelter", "Too Young to Fall in Love" and specially "Looks That Kill" are the best songs here.

as a motly crue fan scene there concerts only two times but im hoping to keep seeing them more and more, they are just considered a classic in the heavy rock genra, in my own opinion. anyways i belive these guys just have what it takes to be a classic, especially after coming back together for the sake of rock
