MOTLEY CRUE Shout At The Devil CD (2022)

1983. The Sunset Strip was a war zone of hairspray, leather, and pentagram imagery, and four kids from Hollywood decided to throw Satan himself into the mix. Shout At The Devil is the record that made parents genuinely nervous and gave a generation of alienated teenagers exactly what they needed.

Coming in hotter and harder than the glam metal pack, Mötley Crüe leaned into the shock value and somehow made it stick. The album sits at that perfect intersection of sleaze and heavy, where the riffs actually bite and the hooks are inescapable. "Looks That Kill", "Too Young To Fall In Love", and the title track are as loud and dumb and brilliant as rock and roll ever needed to be. This is the record that established the Crüe as something more dangerous than their contemporaries, before the excess consumed everything.

2022 CD reissue. Full length album, originally released 1983. USA. Glam metal, heavy metal.
