Party Like It's 1987!!!
So the original Motley Crue line-up is back with their first full-length featuring the original line-up since 1997's abysmal Generation Swine. Saints of Los Angeles is being touted as the ever popular "return to form" album, but if the lead single is any indication - that descriptor may actually mean something this time around. "Saints of Los Angeles", the single, is a full-on throwback to the golden era of sleazy hair metal - glam guitars, gang vocals on the chorus, big solo, the whole nine yards. You can almost smell the Aqua Net in the air. That may be a bad thing to fans of today's sludgier and altogether darker metal, but for those of us that grew up on "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Kickstart My Heart" - this is a welcome development in the ongoing soap opera that is the Crue. Time will tell whether or not the rest of the album lives up to the promise of this single, but at least it has to be better than that John Corabi shit anyway.
