Fans everywhere will be pleased to see Mötley Crüe release a brand new full-length album of original material and the results are certainly pleasing! The first two singles released off the album, Saints Of Los Angeles (Gang Vocal) and MF Of The Year, are both true Crüe songs full of attitude! They won't disappoint old Crüe fans and they'll definitely shake the nerves of new fans in true Crüe loud-mouth in-your-face style! Face Down In The Dirt is another great tempo, peddle-down song that certainly satisfies the Mötley Crüe-loving ear. However, whilst the rest of the album produces a good musical package as a whole, the notable singles are more limited. Rather than an album full of standout classics, it's more of a nice package altogether, but limited in notoriety individually. Mötley Crüe fans will want to grab this album for sure. It is an explosive Mötley offering. But it fails to draw the acclaim of past Crüe albums, and if you're a newcomer to Mötley Crüe, then perhaps you'd be better purchasing their older works or Red White & Crue for a taste of their most loved work. A good album though, just not a masterpiece of the past. But that's just this fan's opinion... make yours for yourself!

Ive been a fan of the Crue for just over 4 years now and in my opinion the albums they made in the 80s are some of the best rock albums ever recorded. During the 90s their albums got a bit more experimental and the songs they were writing just werent up to the stantard of their earlier work. So after I had heard 2 new songs, 'if I die tomorrow' and 'sick love song' a couple of years ago I was praying that they would release a new album. That album turned out to be S.O.L.A, with James Michael and DJ Ashba handling production I knew that the album would sound amazing. Each song is 100% crue at its best; Mick Mars blasts out some of the best rock riffs ive heard in a long time, and Vince Neils voice hasnt sounded this good since Dr. Feelgood. All together the album is what you would expect from the crue right down to the smallest detail.

Crue in great album shocker! Seriously. I quite liked the lesser known and more recent Generation Swine and the eponomous Motley Crue albums, but really they've never hit the heights of their first album. I surely never saw this coming. For me, Shout at the Devil, Girls, Dr Feelgood and Theatre of Pain were an increasingly horrible attempt to ingratiate themselves to the MTV generation. Guns n Roses stepped in and took the credible metal vote while the Crue whored themselves into a panto act. But here there's a return to that scratchy under-produced brilliance, with a bit of craft that they picked up along the way. I don't normally do 5 stars.

Been a resident crue fan since the beginning i eagerly awaited this new album, at times over the years a few crue tracks have felt a bit mellow in relation to there Dr feelgood days, but man has that changed, this album is FANTASTIC !!, every track on this album is just awesome. Two of my personal favorites are track 2, FACE DOWN IN THE DIRT and track 11, THIS AINT A LOVE SONG. Crank the volume up and enjoy !! You Will. This a must buy for all true motley fans!!

having got back together for the first time in what was years after the dreadfully recieved generation swine album the two new studio tracks they made for the red, white and crue best of album was rusty and un-rehearsed in comparison to their succesful comeback tour so their new studio album banishes that since they have put in plenty of effort and time in making saints of los angelese as the tracks like LAMF, the title track etc are reminiscent of the era whey they burnt a hole in the ozone layer while the mothers locked up their daughters as the crue made themselves known in town die hard fans may not like the modern production techniques surrounding the album but lets appreciate what they have done as since most bands have a unpredicatble personality when getting back together end up imploding just when things are finally getting back into place but considering they are behind plans to launch the crue fest to rival that of the greedy consumanate machine of the now defunct ozzfest festival it seems the party is just around the corner lets hope they bring it to the UK

I've taken a long time before writting this review to give this album a chance to grow on me, but to be honest I keep coming back to the same feeling. This albums okay. It's a strong rock album, but definately not a 5 stars Motley Crue album.
Don't get me wrong, the band are ripping, and sounding very tight and fresh, and the songs themselves are on the whole a good bunch of songs. However, they generally weren't written by the Crue (Nikki and his AM friends)and subsequently they are a bunch of songs that could have been recorded by a number of bands and still sounded good (Sixx Am included). The point is, the Crue were always better than good. In the Crue version of rock there was always a little blues, a little rock n roll, a little pop and and a little punk, and as a result they always stood above their peers. Whilst Nikki has always been the principle songwriter, the others always chipped in with the songwriting and the songs sounded a little more honest and true, even on Generation Swine. Unfortunately that "gang" attitude they have tried to re-create on this album is actually the one natural ingredient missing.
Hopefully 2011 will bring a new album...and hopefully a true Crue album at that
