    Motley crue is my favorite band. this is not motley crue. i can't hear the gutars, and nothing of it speaks motley crue. it sounds like someone else wrote the guitar parts, cause it sure as hell doesn't sound like mick. i know the crue when i hear it. disappointed fan here.

  1. 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.
  2. While not every song is a winner, the title track and sleaze anthem 'This Ain't a Love Song' are standouts.
  3. 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.
