Free Music Notes for Supersonic & Demonic Relics
Free Music Review: A lot of junk, but a few standouts
Hit: 3 Stars
Supersonic And Demonic Relics (1999) is a collection of some previously unreleased material from Motley Crue. A lot of the material is what is considered "junk" that is unpolished, unrefined, and in some cases the result of just screwing around in the studio. There is, on the other hand, a lot of quality material on here.
If you own the out-of-print Decade Of Decadence (1991), then you might not want this CD if you don't want any "junk" and don't want to repeat songs from Decade Of Decadence. Several then-new or hard to find songs from Decade Of Decadence appear on this CD - Teaser, Primal Scream, Anarchy In The U.K., Rock 'n Roll Junkie, and Angela. In addition, you get the unreleased stuff, some of which was meant for the album that never came to be, Personality #9, which would have John Corabi on vocals.
The best unreleased songs from this album are Sinners & Saints, Monsterous, and Say Yeah. I feel that Sinners & Saints and Say Yeah are good enough that they could have been released on regular albums. One song that is unique and quite strange is Hooligan's Holiday (Extended Holiday Version By Skinny Puppy). The middle section is electronic/industrial music from Skinny Puppy that goes on for quite some time. It's a unique song that rocks. There is also a live version of Dr. Feelgood.
Motley Crue just wanted to empty the vault with this album, I guess. They might have more unreleased stuff they're holding on to, who knows. All in all, I recommend this album for diehard Crueheads or anybody who wants the stuff from the out-of-print Decade Of Decadence.

Supersonic & Demonic Relics (1999). Not to be confused with SUPERSONIC RELICS (also 1999) while having the same tracks, it is a "clean" or "edited" version of this album.
This album is basically a combination of 1991's DECADE OF DECADENCE and 1994's (although I may be mistaken on the year) QUARTERNARY, with some extra tracks added in for good measure. Keep in mind, this is not a greatest hits album, but a collection of B-sides and rarities. One reviewer put it best when they said it was the "best of the b-sides" or something to that effect. It pretty much is. Is it worth picking up? Yes, partly because it's extremely hard to find QUARTERNARY these days, and also, it's got some pretty good songs on it too. If you do happen to own both the aforementioned albums then there isn't much point to owning this...except for collectors. Casual fans aren't likely to dig this, but they should give it a shot anyway.
Some tracks you should check: "Bittersuite", "So Good, So Bad", "Sinners and Saints" and the odd but cool "Mood Ring", which shows you what it's like to be drunk in the studio with the Crue. A good album to own. 11/15

THE NEW SONGS ON THE ALBUM ARE O.K. I HAVE DECADE AND THE ALBUM QUARTERNARY. THIS ALBUM IS A DUPE OF BOTH. SINNERS&SAINTS IS A COOL TOON, BUT THE CRUE NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A NEW ALBUM, WITH ALL NEW MATERIAL. MY ADVICE TO THE GROUP IS, GET TOMMY LEE BACK IN THE STUDIO AND LET HIM WRITE. WHEN THE BAND IS DONE WITH THE GREATEST HITS TOUR, START IMMEDIATLEY ON A NEW ALBUM AND GET THE RECORD EXECS. TO PROMOTE THE HELL OUT OF IT. GET TOMMY LEE BACK IN THE BAND!Free Music Review: Another greatest hits
Hit: 3 Stars
Whohoo another Motley Crue greatest hits collection. The only track worth while on here is only good song that came from the John Carabi era (if you can call it that) - Hooligan's Holiday.Free Music Review: A Really Skimpy Rarities Package
Hit: 1 Stars
Five of this album's fifteen tracks were originally issued on Decade of Decadence and considering that disc was certified double platinum, one has to wonder if the Crüe guys understand the meaning of the word "rarity", or the meaning of words like "redundant", "double dip", "unnecessary" and "rip-off" for that matter. Another five tracks were previously released as b-sides or as part of the Quaternary EP, so there are only five bona fide rarities included in this package. Said songs, and I'm really stretching the definition of the word here since only a retard can claim Monsterous or Mood Ring resemble anything songlike, confirm what fans inferred from the unreleased tracks included in the band's catalogue reissues: bad boy behavior and a decadent lifestyle aren't exactly conductive towards prolific and/or quality studio output. What's even worse about this collection is that Crüe 2 Crüe, the band's hilarious yet maligned early nineties rap collaboration, was ignored and left out. Make no mistake about it: this is catalogue mining of the worst kind, and even if I consider myself a massive Crüe fan (I actually got into Heavy Metal after seeing the Looks That Kill video on MTV at 11) I can't find any worthwhile reason for recommending this album to anyone.
