Free Music Review: The lost Crue studio album
Hit: 2 Stars
This is probably the album least venerated by even Crue diehards. At least the 1994 album with Corabi was talked about. This one just wandered by without troubling the scoreboard at all, if you take my meaning.
But down to specifics;
This album has a number of interesting tunes on it. There are some touches on here that you won't find very prevalent in the rest of the Crue catalogue. This in a way was the Crue trying to come across all mature both emotionally and musically. While the bands rhythm section has it's fans in terms of musicianship the idea of this band as musical magpies just doesn't float. And their attempts at musical growth while interesting are only so due to the sheer difference from the bands normal output. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here, this album isn't some sort of Crue does prog album. It's just that the party metal of former years has here been tempered in a few places by slower passages sprinkled here and there. But nowhere memorably.
In addition the band have really here only penned one great party metal number in their `classic' vein in the form of the title track which sees Vince Neils nasal twang in full frontal evidence over the top of a well produced musical attack. But apart from that one flagship number there is precious little here for even devoted Crue fans - of which I was one at one stage. They even have the bravery/temerity to remake Shout At The Devil. A move sure to have their long time devotees turning in their figurative graves.
Daring to censure the Crue on any release apart from the Corabi voiced album is a dangerous move prone to score one a lynching. But on this album it simply has to be done. Weak songs, a fractured sense of purpose and no really engaging stories to tell condemn this to being the worst album the Crue have ever released. My advice is to download Generation Swine from our mates at Amazon and save yourself the shipping bill for actually buying this.

I think this album would be better if they did it with john corabi then it would sound betterFree Music Review: Motley Crue: not any good in the 80s, and not any good in the 90s either
Hit: 1 Stars
Everybody keeps saying that the reason this record sold poorly was because it came out in the 90s and couldn't compete with all the grunge and alternative rock that was popular at the time. Well I've got news for all you Motley Crue fans: YOU'RE WRONG! The only reason this CD flopped is because it was a $hitty record by a $hitty band, plain and simple. Even if the grunge trend never occured, you can bet that "Generation Swine" would have flopped, just because Motley Crue is such a $hitty band. The only reason Motley Crue's popularity declined in the 90s is because their music is annoying. All those people who worshipped Motley Crue in the 80s just woke up and realised that this band is annoying, their music is annoying, and that they were making a mistake by ever liking them. Come on Motley Crue fans, quit fooling yourselves. Don't blame the 90s for this band's decline in popularity. Blame the band itself for putting out music that just wasn't any good! It doesn't matter what decade this piece of cr@p came out in. It could have been the 80s, the 90s or even right now, the only reason nobody likes Motley Crue anymore is because none of it is any good. This band stunk from the beginning, their music was never worth a d@mn.Free Music Review: Pumpkin Smashers

Let me just get this off of my chest at the begining. I really hate Motley Crue! The 80's rock band is horrible. anyone who has had as many near death experiences as those goofs and not died, there is something seroiusly wrong with the world in which we live. I will admit it however that I do own one of thier c.d.'s and when I was eight it was o.k. But some people really need to grow out of it. Take my friend for instance, let's call him "Junior" Junior likes this band and more power to him. However the other day I was in his room and he was playing Generation Swine. This c.d. is horrible! Motley Crue has gone through a pussification period. My other friend let's call him "Ray" interjected that it sounded quite a bit like Smashing Pumpkins. I had no choice but to agree. It really sounds like Vince Neil took singing lessons from Billy Coorgan. And what's this I hear about them being clean, and off drugs? Do us all a favor and please get back on them! Maybe it will speed up your untimely death. No offense to anyone who likes this band, if you like "The Crue" more power to you. I just believe that the further pussification and degredation of this band needs to stop.Free Music Review: Dissapointed

I, like some of the other reviewers here, had hoped that Motley Crue's reunion with Vince Neil would signal the beginning of a renewed popularity of fun, heavy metal music. I am sadly dissapointed with Generation Swine. "Brandon" may be the worst song ever recorded, and the Shout at the Devil re-make makes me cringe. And, now they are going to re-release this album with "bonus tracks." Oh boy! I can't wait to hear stuff that was bad enough to be left off this when it was first release...
