Review
Man, 'Shout At The Devil' hit the scene like a lightning bolt in '83, cranking up the volume on Mötley Crüe's already explosive career. This beast of an album didn't just make noise - it screamed, howled, and clawed its way to the top of the metal heap. Tracks like 'Looks That Kill' and 'Too Young to Fall in Love' were pure adrenaline shots, showcasing the Crüe's knack for crafting hooks sharp enough to draw blood. And let's not forget their ballsy take on 'Helter Skelter' - those boys had the stones to put their own spin on a Beatles classic, and boy, did they pull it off!
The controversy surrounding 'Shout At The Devil' only added fuel to the Crüe's hellfire. Sure, some folks got their panties in a twist over the pentagram and all that jazz, but for the rest of us? It was like catnip. The album rocketed to No. 17 on the Billboard 200, snagging that sweet 4× Platinum status without breaking a sweat. Critics couldn't help but tip their hats to the Crüe's sleazy, in-your-face brand of metal. This wasn't just another record - it was a battle cry that echoed through the halls of rock history, inspiring a whole new generation of head-bangers and hell-raisers. Forty years on, and 'Shout At The Devil' still packs one hell of a punch! - Jett
