“Saints Of Los Angeles” <\/span><\/p>\n

(M\u00f6tley Records – 2008)<\/p>\n

The thing that struck me the hardest after listening to this new M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce album, the first studio work in eleven years from the infamous original lineup of Mars, Sixx, Neil and Lee, is that this just might be their most solid musical achievement as a rock band. \u201cSaints Of Los Angeles\u201d is produced with a serious punch for effect by James Michael and it\u2019s clear from the start with knockout songs like “Face Down in the Dirt”\u00a0and the\u00a0literal show stopping<\/em> “Down at the Whisky”, that tabloid headlines\u00a0and drug overdoses can now finally be set aside for once\u00a0with this band, because\u00a0the flatout truth is in\u00a0the music, and there hasn’t been one album released in 2008 that rocks quite like ole\u00a0M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most shocking is that Vince Neil’s voice sounds much more searing\u00a0and powerful here than it ever did back in\u00a0the 80’s. He simply shines on the album’s title track and frankly every tune that is offered up. Combine his gutsy vocals soaring over\u00a0the bluesy, Hendrix-style guitar shredding of the seemingly “Back From The Grave” Mars, with\u00a0the spot on, punk’d out, low-end grumbling of Sixx on bass fused like molten steel to Tommy Lee’s powerful drumming and\u00a0what you get is pure magic… no matter what year it\u00a0is. And fans\u00a0of the fat, nasty riff will simply love the closer “Goin’ Out Swingin”, a song that sends a clear message to anyone who still doubts the Crue’s incredible ongoing legacy in heavy music.<\/p>\n
