    While not every song is a winner, the title track and sleaze anthem 'This Ain't a Love Song' are standouts.

    Motley Crue has been trumpeting their hedonism for so long and so loudly that it's become more of a caricature than a way of life, and while Saints of Los Angeles is the best thing they've laid to tape since their codpiece heydays, it's more of a walk down memory lane/sunset strip than a legitimate call to arms.

    There is some of the old energy here, thanks in part to the presence of drummer Tommy Lee, who drives 'Down at the Whisky' and 'Chicks=Trouble' like somebody with a head full of stimulants. Yet the album lacks the tune-craft that once made vintage Crüe such hits as 'Dr. Feelgood' and 'Kickstart My Heart' so appealing.

    Wow I was very surprised to found out that most of the Crue's hardcore fan base praised this album. For starters the 1st thing that sticks out when listening to this album is the horriable lyric content. Nikki what the hell happened? I have read that Motley brought in a bunch of bubblegum writers to help write the album but I find that hard to believe with Sixx being such a control freak but who ever wrote this garbage deservesthe Rick Astley life time achievment award. The Crue has found that filthy powerful sound that you can picture a naked girl sliding up and down a pole too but then ruin almost every track with cheesy lyrics like " I dont want to go to school" ( No shit Nikki your in your 50's why would you want to go to school?) on face down in the dirt and choreses like " were the white trash circus dont give a damm we'll steal your girl when ever we can ( have you lost your confidence in slaying chicks Nikki??) on white trash circus which give the album that Motley Crue meets a cracked out slutty Mother Goose feel.… Expand
