UMUR
"Girls, Girls, Girls" is the 4th full-length studio album by US hard rock/glam metal act Mötley Crüe. The album was released through Elektra Records in May 1987.

After the generally softer "Theater of Pain (1985)" (compared to the first two more raw sounding albums), Mötley Crüe returned to a harder edged sound on "Girls, Girls, Girls". Well...relatively. The music on the album is still polished heavy rock/glam metal featuring simple vers/chorus structures and memorable hooklines. Among the standout tracks are the three single tracks "Wild Side", "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "You're All I Need". The latter is a power ballad type track. I can picture how this song was probably accompanied by a sea of lighters when it was played live, even though the lyrics actually tell the tale of a murder. Most of the lyrics deal with the hard party life of the bandmembers though, which songtitles like "Bad Boy Boogie" and "Girls, Girls, Girls" give a hint to. Already at this point, Mötley Crüe were legendary for their excessive drug and alcohol abuse as well as the ridiculous amount of groupies chasing them around.

Overall the material sound a bit shallow to my ears and the sound production is a bit thin too. The latter isn´t unusual for a release from 1987 though, so it´s a minor issue. Most of the tracks on the album are forgotten as soon as they are over (memorable hooklines or not) and that´s of course a slightly bigger issue. There´s nothing really bad on the album though so I guess a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted. Judging from this album alone, Mötley Crüe seem to be the kind of band that are mostly famous as a result of their wild party life style than because of the actual quality of their music.
