THE REVIEW

The Generation of Pigs.

The Mötley returned with Vince Neil on the microphone and at the bottle after the short parenthesis with Corabi from which their self-titled 1994 album was born. A nice interlude with groove sounds and slow rhythms characteristic of their colleagues Pantera.

The hardest phase of the four, plus a hint of elements foreign to the band's sound, led to the release of this album poorly received by long-time fans.

In my opinion, with this innovative record, they demonstrated that they had rediscovered that vulgarly cool chemistry, renewing the dish with quality pieces from the typical '90s sound.

The songwriting also saw the participation of Tommy Lee with the final dedication to his son Brandon.

Nothing is missing.

Powerful and catchy riffs as in Let Us Pray and Find Myself, and dreamy ballads (Rocketship) but also a string accompaniment (Brandon) and two protagonists in Sixx and Lee like never before.

The '97 version of Shout At The Devil possesses an extra gear compared to the original, and the speed makes it more captivating.

It satisfies both lovers of modern rock and die-hard glam fans.

Tracks like 'Let Us Pray' and 'Find Myself' showcase powerful riffs, while ballads add depth.
