THE REVIEW
1983.
The Motley do Punk Metal with a touch of Glam, something that nobody had ever done before. But I've already written about the type of music in "Too Fast For Love" and I don't want to go on about it... (eh!eh!).
The four Americans sell millions of records with their second album. 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 line-up is the same as the previous album (see 'Too Fast To Love'). 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' among the bonus tracks of the CD version is 'Hotter Than Hell'.

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.
By pepozzo
"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."
"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."
By postino
"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."
