The second album for Motley Crue, the four damned devils return to the shelves with an adrenaline-fueled album of great hard rock such as, and will be, Shout at the Devil.
It doesn't matter if the album will sell a lot, we like to remember it for the electric charge that most of the tracks give to the listener thanks to real marvels like the title track, Looks At Kill, Red Hot and the Beatles cover of Helter Skelter.
Provocative in attitude, music, and image (true warriors of the night), Motley Crue in the future will only know how to clone themselves, but never improve; however, they will leave us this album, one of the wildest works to conquer the American charts before all the splits, the hard videos, and the flops that the group will know in the years to follow (especially in the nineties).
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 pair never misses a beat and, even when the rhythm becomes more subdued (Too young to fall in love for example) always delivers at its best.
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.
Explicit lyrics and spicy double entendres will certainly disturb the moralists who will label the group as among the most obscene, to be kept away from their children "not only are they tough but they're also foul-mouthed," the band years later will respond with "Girls, Girls, Girls", but that's another story, let's listen to this evergreen work, make the horns and up and down with the head!!!
