Quite a nice article on the album on UG
From Disappointment to Fan-Favorite: How Does Mötley Crüe's Self-Titled Album Hold Up 30 Years Later?
I still LOVE this album, it's easily my fav Crue album, followed by Dr Feelgood. They havn't recorded a decent album in the 30 yrs since this one imo. They should have stuck with Corabi and continued down this road that they actually started on with Primal Scream (one of their best tunes) but as the article says they bottled it. Also shit they never play any of these tune live either especially as Sixx keeps saying how much he likes this album over the last few years.
Long standing arguement on this too that if they had released this under a new band name instead of Motley Crue it may well have done better at the time, same as RATM minus Zack had the sense to rename themselves with Chris Cornell and they went on to have great success without being burdened by Soundgarden or RATM success coz the argument could always be made that this is a new band & not Soundgarden mk2.......
