I remember ...This album devastated me at the time. I remember I couldn't stop playing the damned thing! My neighbor behind me played it to me first, and like the first time Mark let me hear Metallica's Master of Puppets, I ran along the train tracks to our little music store to get Shout and I made my stepbrother listen to it, and then HE wanted to hear it over and over again...<BR/><BR/>I still like this album; it's not terribly dated...a lot of people say they don't like "Ten Seconds to Love," but I always loved that song because it appealed to my raging hormones and how badly I wanted to get laid at the time now that I was starting to get "those urges" at age 13.<BR/><BR/>This also begins my crusade against the preppies because I wore a Shout at the Devil shirt in high school and thus became labeled a satanist in my freshman year of HS....the pukes never did see my crucifix (not inverted) atop the pentagram, and I grew weary of explaining it was an anti-establishment song....took awhile, but when Girls Girls Girls came out, everyone didn't seem to mind being hypocritesRay Van Horn, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13614522170335864253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1155742369232633232006-08-16T08:32:00.000-07:002006-08-16T08:32:00.000-07:00If you read my guest post, you know how I felt abo...If you read my guest post, you know how I felt about Motley Crue at the time. Secretly, i had the first 2 albums at home and listened to them a lot.<BR/><BR/>For my money, I prefer Too Fast For Love but Shout At The Devil has some great songs as well. It's too bad that the Crue went glam after this album, I don't think they ever matched this album, maybe Feelgood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1155585374680203952006-08-14T12:56:00.000-07:002006-08-14T12:56:00.000-07:00"In the begining, good always overcame the evil of..."In the begining, good always overcame the evil of all man's sins........" Great album. I think Dr. Feelgood also was a big hit for them commercially, but not as dark or as good as SATD.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853405736070259136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1155583554411140712006-08-14T12:25:00.000-07:002006-08-14T12:25:00.000-07:00I admit I loved this album when it came out, but C...I admit I loved this album when it came out, but Crue's later releases and sex, drugs and rock n roll image was a bit naff for me. This was their high point for sure, where they did the most with their limited abilities. Of course most people would disagree as Crue earned mega millions and were the darlings of teenagers everywhere.T-_Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01201921941080182904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1155526459454266962006-08-13T20:34:00.000-07:002006-08-13T20:34:00.000-07:00Bruce- I think a lot of people thought the Crue we...Bruce- I think a lot of people thought the Crue were going to be great.

I think that most of the album holds up well, but a few tracks do sound tired.

I think that Too fast for love and Shout at the devil were very good. I remember anticipating Theater of pain prior to it's release, but it's average at best. I think Girls, girls, is terrible. Dr. Feelgood is pretty good, but no where near the level of the early albums. It just got worse after that. I felt the need include them this week because they just had a huge impact on the scene.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1155471821257496252006-08-13T05:23:00.000-07:002006-08-13T05:23:00.000-07:00Great review.The Crue aren't one of my fave HM ban...Great review.<BR/>The Crue aren't one of my fave HM bands, I have to admit, but of all their albums this was their best<BR/><BR/>It might be my interpretation, but I thought towards the end of the decade they bacame almost a spoof band without the humour.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486637576778688399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-1155452008858242292006-08-12T23:53:00.000-07:002006-08-12T23:53:00.000-07:00OFF TOPIC: M-M/M-M: just wanted to say hi since w...OFF TOPIC: M-M/M-M: just wanted to say hi since we're both up late!!!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948285006605333380noreply@blogger.com
