Is this the album die-hard fans has been waiting for for the past nineteen years, and has it been fruitful to have the original line-up back together, are some of the concerns I know many fans have been wondering about with this new Mötley Crüe album.

And this is certainly their best album since 'Dr. Feelgood' and the band does sound recharged and revitalized on 'The Saints of Los Angeles'. Mötley Crüe is out to prove to the world that they haven't forgotten how to create magic, and they do show most of the younger bands that they still form a band to reckoned with... at least within the small niche called sleaze metal.

Musically we are in well tested territory, coming across as a mix between 'Dr. Feelgood' and 'New Tattoo' (from 2000), delivering a fine selection of dirty and sleazy rock 'n' roll songs that takes one back to the hey-days of Mötley Crüe.

Living out the bad boy’s image is reflected in the songs, and the boys seem to have a lot of fun and enjoy the lifestyle they have been a big part of for good and for bad... Sure the lyrics are filled with clichés, I wouldn't want it any other way, and Mötley Crüe has never been a technical powerhouse, but within their limitations they know how to handle themselves and have fun.

'The Saints of Los Angeles' is a fun loving, dirty rock 'n' roll album that rocks hard in every corner, and I salute them for staying true to their roots and believing in their own strengths.
