Free Music Review: Love It...
Hit: 5 Stars
Never having been a fan of Motley Crew (I think I may be a little young) I first heard Life is Beautiful on the radio and fell in love with the song. That led me on a search for more information on the band members and the stories behind the album. I'm always hesitant to buy an album based on one song, but I took the plunge and I don't regret it.
Realize that Life is Beautiful is very different from most of what you'll hear on the album. What you will hear is a brutally honest account of the life of a heroin addict. There's a lot of spoken word, pulled directly from the pages of Nikki Sixx's journals, but along with that are lyrics that will pull at your heart-strings and put you in the world of the addict - which is scary, depressing, and self-loathing.
The instrumentation is brilliant, almost symphonic, combining styles from all over the rock universe. Every song is unique, with a unique message and play style. James Michael's voice makes you wonder why he's a producer and not a front-man for some huge band. I haven't read the book yet, but I think the whole album is perfectly understandable without it.
If you're buying this album for 13 different versions of Life is Beautiful, then just buy the single and be done with it. If you're interested in a journey through a single man's struggle with addiction, then buy this album!
The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack Poster
The Heroin Diaries (the soundtrack to Nikki Sixx's addiction memoir of the same name) sounds nothing like the music that catapulted Nikki Sixx into the limelight (and, presumably, the dank and dark underground of addiction) with M?tley Cr?e more than 20 years ago. And the music suffers for it. Perhaps Sixx didn't want to romanticize addiction and ill behavior by unleashing a series of rockers that would send fists high in the air and let the spirit, at least for a moment, soar while the listener struggled to better understand the seductive lure of dependence and decadence. (If anyone cares that much--this is rock & roll, after all, and not Oprah.) Instead, Sixx dresses the songs in the trappings of contemporary pop so that "Tomorrow," "Life is Beautiful" and "Accidents Can Happen" sound like lite imitations of the lesser bands that have captured the public's imagination in the wake of the Cr?e's inexplicable absence from the recording studio. ("Permission" may even be Sixx's first stab at getting airplay on CMT.) The true rockers, far too slender in number, are half-realized and pallid; the lyrics are overly diaristic (yes) and fail to live up to Sixx's vintage street sophistication ("Dancing on Glass" and "Kickstart My Heart"). The Heroin Diaries comes off more like an affectless pity party than a walk on the wild side. --Jedd BeaudoinUpcoming national television appearances with Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, Carson Daly, Conan O'Brien, & more.
