Free Music Notes for The Heroin Diaries SoundtrackFree Music Review: Love It... Hit: 5 StarsNever 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!
Free Music Review: Best Rock Album Hit: 5 StarsThis album has really inspired me to successfully recover from my addictions...I am thankful and forever grateful to Nikki Sixx for making such great music about overcoming major obstacles in the life of an addict, and now a recovered addit. This Album will be my favorite forever.
Free Music Review: Nikki Sixx Rocks (again!) Hit: 5 StarsThis is an excellent CD!!! I keep playing it over and over. This is the soundtrack for the book "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx. I purchased both the book and CD at the same time. If you like Motley Crue and Nikki Sixx you will love this CD and the book. Nikki Sixx is a very talented songwriter and musician and once again does not let his fans down.
The profits from Nikki's book are donated to his charity Running Wild in the Night with Covenant House that helps runaway kids. Just one more reason to definitely buy the book along with the CD!!! It is wonderful to see a celebrity who has gone down the dark road of addiction come full circle to recovery and then use his position and influence to try and help others. Thumbs up to Nikki Sixx for being brave enough to expose his weakness in the hope of helping others!!
I highly recommend this CD!!!
Free Music Review: Amazing!!! Hit: 5 StarsThis album has a fresh new rock sound, unlike any other album I've heard. It ranges from a slight hiphop/rock mix to piano/ballet mixes. It reaches every corner of the rock world that I love! Amazing guitars, thrashing drums, head banging combos with upstanding lyrics, and vocalist who knows how to put power behind his voice!
If your looking for something new with some 80's rock influence, then you found the perfect CD! Just because it's a "Sound tack", doesn't mean anything, I haven't read the book that goes with this yet, but I'm IN LOVE with this CD!!!
Free Music Review: Welcome back Sixx! Hit: 4 StarsIf your a Nikki Sixx fan then just get this already. Always takes too long to hear something new from someone in the band and this is worth the wait. I'll always prefer the Crue, but it's always good to hear new stuff from anyone in the band. Great album!
