Album Review - Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood

I got to start off by saying, what a freaking album. No wonder it sold 18 gajillion copies. So it starts off with a skit, "Terror In Tinseltown" Holy moly, this is already dark. Cars crashing, burning buildings, police. Its a great skit that slams right into the title track. Heavy guitars, dark lyrics about drug abuse and the bad sides of town. "Slice Of Your Pie" comes next and though not a favorite, a pretty juicy track with a Beatles nod to "Shes So Heavy". Rattlesnake Shake is pretty cheesey with its honky tonk horns and piano outro. "Kickstart My Heart" is up next and gets your blood pumping again. Side one closes with "Without You" a pretty good power ballad. Side Two starts with some sweet power pop riffing on "Same Ol Situation", no thats a good song about lame girlfriends, Green Day eat your heart out! "Sticky Sweet" is another chick oriented tune, but a little shall we say more Sticky? HarHar! "She Goes Down" starts off with a zipper opening soundbite. Oh Motley Crue... My favorite track is "Don't Go Away Mad" an awesome power pop jam with great chords and lyrics again about girls. The album ends with another ballad, "Time For Change" is pretty good for a power ballad and uses the oldest trick in the book, the one step key change towards the end to accent the intensity. The album artwork is rad too. (Bug)
