Shout At The Devil

：by Barry WeberShout at the Devil displays M?tley Crüe's sleazy and notorious yet quite entertaining metal at its best. When compared to its predecessor, Too Fast for Love, one can see that the band's musical range has certainly widened over the course of these two albums; the record features catchy, hard-rocking songs, but also includes an instrumental ("God Bless the Children of the Beast") and a powerful cover of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter." While such later albums as Dr. Feelgood would achieve a higher amount of critical acclaim, no M?tley Crüe album surpasses the quality of Shout at the Devil. [In 1999, the Crüe remastered and reissued Shout at the Devil on their own Motley/Beyond label with four bonus tracks: three demos, including versions of the title track and "Looks That Kill," and a previously unreleased song.] 

这张砖是motley crue最具有重金属特征的专辑，原版封面是撒旦教的倒五角星，浓浓黑金属feel..这张专辑被滚石评为100大金属专辑第45名，同时也是nikki sixx认为motley音乐性最佳的专辑。比起之后几张有过之无不及

当时他们的流金再强主要也是在洛杉矶混，后辈枪花也就演几场就和他们相识了，之后和他们美国巡演，所以乌合并没有很大牌的样子？九十年代初枪花等乐队抓住全球巡演的机会迅速取得了更大的关注度，可以说是时运所致

高一听这专辑看着封面傻了半天，从此走向不归路

这张专辑还翻唱了披头士1968年的歌曲《Helter Skelter》。Sixx并不是披头士的粉丝，他把这乐队称为“该死的懦夫”，但是他把《Helter Skelter》和披头士的白色专辑列为他最喜欢的歌曲和专辑之一

歌曲"Knock 'Em Dead, Kid"的灵感来自于Sixx和一群飞车党之间的暴力冲突。Sixx不知怎么搞的和一群骑摩托的打了起来，甚至用一根皮带的链子打了一名成员的脸。结果摩托党原来是便衣警察，贝斯手随后遭到毒打并被关进监狱，最后眼睛被打青，颧骨骨折。出狱后，他受到启发，写了一首关于这场苦难的歌

其实当时就在克鲁回到洛杉矶开始录制这张专辑之前，克鲁还在Kiss乐队的《Creatures of the Night tour》专辑中当他们的特邀嘉宾助唱。乐队只在一起演出了五场，Gene Simmons 就以克鲁“行为不端”为由，要求更换助唱乐队[大哭]
