Rating: - * Great Album ...
I usually don't write reviews but Motley is and will always be my favorite band. I've been a fan of Motley for quite some time now, so I wanted to take the time and write a review for Saints. I absolutely love this album. One thing I've always loved about Motley is their creativity and ability to change and grow with each album. I personally don't think any Motley album sounds the same and I love this perspective. With Saints I think you get the classic Motley with a new vibe and feel to it. I also think there is so much energy on this album, and I think the chemistry of the band shines (as with the other albums). Vince sounds great, Nikki's bass blends in awesome, Tommy's drumming is crushing and Micks guitar work is stellar. One thing I've always loved about Mick is his style and creativity. It's like when I hear this album the guitar sounds like nothing I've heard before, and sure enough it's Mick. He seems to always be able to create something new and totally cool sounding. I love the opening riff to psycho and love the guitar solo. I really like all the songs, if I would have to pick Favorites I would choose Saints, MF of the Year, Psycho, Chicks = Trouble, actually I should just say all of them.
Another reason I wanted to write a review was because of the respect that has grown on me for this band and all the members. It's been kind of a difficult year for me, my Dad was involved in a very serious accident and it's kind of taken a toll on me. When I start to get down or depressed I think of Motley and what they have been through. This band has been through everything, but they have moved on and they have never gave up. With Vince's accident and Daughter, Nikki's rough childhood and addiction, Mick's bone disease, they have soldered on and I respect them so much for that. To go through those situations it makes you a stronger person and I know I have grown from it. It's like Motley did it so I can do it.
My personal opinion, you put these 4 guys together and they can make music better than anyone. Long live the CRUE Forever.

Rating: - * An excelent return by the most outrageous.. ...
In a couple of years of very very interesting albums by heavy metal bands (Maiden, Slayer, Testament, Leppard, and others) that returned from apparent retirement only to show us how you can rock as hard when you're 40 than 20 years ago, and thus keep the light of rock and roll shining in the heart of all of those who grew up to become family man, fathers, husbands,and good members of our society.. je je je.. this Cd comes as another reminder of the real stuff that rock is made of, and an excellent hard rock assault by one of my all time favorite bands, and the one that could do it in style, and with an excelent mixture of good old - fashioned hard Rock, with the complexity and roughness that evidence the maturity that the years have given them, as i hope it has come to us, motley fans..
Vince keeps having the most powerful vocal tone and it sounds just as fresh and smooth as it was in the 80's, and it keeps making an excelent combination with Nikki's rough bass playing and rithyms; Mick mars is as usual, third - grade level guitars (as an amateur guitar player, i always have real trouble keeping up with him, more than almost anyone else), and Tommy lee.. well, do i need to say it? they create an excellent album.
And about the telling that this is like the soundtrack for their wonderful book "The dirt", i do not know... this is for me more like "girls,girls,girls, II.. je je je.. i only must confess.. i miss a power ballad... it would have been good to have it, even if it was only for the nostalgia.. guess i'm getting old, too..
but it has what every rocker needs: rough riffs, fast drums, supercharged bass, everything is in there.. i really liked it, and i'm happy that the crue is Back, and in excellent shape. i hope they will keep doing it for as long as possible.. i'll keep rocking all my life, hope they'll do it, too..

I am a crue fan from way back in the day. I was wonderfully surprised at this album. It takes me back to the good ole days except maybe better! Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: - * Still Hope ...
This album is phenomenal! It is evident that this album was not just released to cash in on the Motley name. Not a weak song on the album. It is very rare for me to never skip a song on an album. I have not yet decided if this is their best album, but it is close. Motley is a dying breed. They are not for the average American conformist. If you do not like anti-establishment, and freedom of speech, this cd is not for you. Go waste your money on the rock-star pretenders, Metalica. Motley lives what they write about. Much like the great Bon Scott once did. Motley's live show was incredible too.
