Definitive Crue

This album sees the Crue at their peak in many ways. The whole band is starting to feel the wear and tear of their lifestyle, but at this point they were still knee deep in it. The ambivalence between loving the life and losing the fight simultaneously gives this album a dark feeling but also delivers some of the best rockers of the band's career.

The opening 1-2 punch of "Wild Side" and "Girls, Girls, Girls" has to be one of the best openings of glam metal history. These songs are still huge parts of the live show, and alongside "Shout at the Devil" and "Home Sweet Home" are the defining songs of the enormously successful band. The rest of the album is uneven, but has a depth never seen before. There is actually some conflict in the band's members emotions, pain and pleasure, ecstasy and regret, fear and energy. The wicked love / murder story of "You're All I Need" and the damage done reflection of "Dancing on Glass" add alot of interest to the supporting songs on this album.

This is the last of the classic Crue albums in my opinion. Dr. Feelgood, like Metallica's Black Album, are as much Bob Rock albums as they are the band's. Both feature slicker production, and suck some of the lifeblood out of the band. But on Girls, Girls, Girls, we get the Crue at their best.

Bottom Line: Classic Crue, Two of their best songs.
