Rating: THE REVIEW
Scrolling through the pages of the DeDatabase, I noticed the review of one of the most biting heavy metal albums of all time... "Shout at the Devil" was missing...
This album represents, in my opinion, the highest point of Motley Crue's career, providing us with a truly fierce, aggressive CD full of pure rage... a classic of heavy music... Jumping on beds and moshing like crazy seems the most natural action in front of this work, not very varied in music, but truly captivating.
The opener "In the Beginning" is just a grim speech that leads us to the court of the title track, a song of great strength and energy that immediately lets us understand the trend of the entire album; distorted guitars, shrill voice, and fast rhythm will be the main protagonists from here onwards. After "Looks that Kill" and "Bastard" we find a kind of acoustic interlude: "God Bless the Children of the Beast", but the peace lasts only 1 minute and 33 seconds. "Helter Skelter" is a real electric shock to the brain besides being one of the best tracks of the whole work. Everything proceeds, among distortion tricks, solos, and breathtaking screams until the conclusive "Danger" passing through the other masterpiece "Too Young to Fall in Love".
An album that absolutely does not shine for originality, but has aged very well and is still capable of evoking emotions like every healthy heavy metal album....

An album that is now a classic in its own right, the band from here on will become a benchmark for anyone wanting to try their hand at hard rock and glam.
Never a drop in tone, also thanks to the interpretations of the 4: Vince Neil with his acidic timbre, Mick Mars precise and never over the top, while hats off to the rhythm section of the duo Lee/Sixx, the true lung of the Crue-sound.

The novelties are the fake devil worship, the even heavier makeup on their faces, and above all, the much more polished production that channels their rage towards more commercial shores.
The best songs are: the 'title track', 'Bastard', 'Red Hot', the ballad 'Too Young To Fall In Love', the cover of a 'little band' 'Helter Skelter', 'Looks That Kill', and the beautiful 'Ten Seconds To Love'.

"Shout At The Devil would turn out not only to be their most accomplished work but also a seminal album for the nascent American Hair/Glam Metal scene."
"The incendiary cover of 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles, which the Motley reinterpret amazingly, making it practically their own."
