Keith Caputo here sets aside his vocals chasing the perfect pop rock of his solo albums to recreate with his bandmates that mix of modern metal infused with New York hardcore.

It's like taking an experienced whore capable of making you happy with the most wicked tricks of the trade and insisting on dressing her up as a bad metal-grunge girl. The only gem has to be searched for very deeply, it's written red on black in microscopic characters on the last page of the album and reads like this: 'Whoever stole Mick’s guitars…we hope you die.' Amen.

Motley Crue's 1994 self-titled album attempts a heavier, grunge-influenced sound following Vince Neil's departure. While a few tracks like "Power To The Music" and "Hooligan's Holiday" stand out, most songs feel monotonous and uninspired. The ballads are familiar but unremarkable. Overall, the album fails to convincingly evolve the band's signature glam metal style. Discover this controversial phase of Motley Crue and decide if you agree with their 1994 makeover—listen or read more now!
I didn’t expect to have to wait until the ninth track of the album to start getting excited. The concluding ‘Hold On’ benefits from the signature of Scott Weiland and leads us with pathos and class towards the end of a very interlocutory work.

The album ends on a more emotional note with 'Hold On,' yet overall the work raises questions about the band’s focus after prior success. Explore Limp Bizkit’s controversial album and discover its highlights and flaws for yourself!
"Maynard James Keenan’s voice seems to give voice to the wounds and scars of each of us, as if trying to rise from the recesses of a black well in search of a light." "The words hit the listener like boulders on the conscience with the hardcore contribution of Henry Rollins in 'Bottom'."

"Listening to it is not the easiest task, even for a band so globally appreciated." "An operation like this, detached from the film, adds little for the die-hard fans... and isn’t a great starting point for newcomers."

Pearl Jam's 'Twenty' commemorates 20 years since their debut 'Ten' with a mix of live tracks, demos, and rarities.
