Wow. I thought you guys were being a bit harsh until I decided to give it a listen myself. Sounds like they trying to fill the void left by bands like NKOTB, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Someone needs to tell them it's not 1999 anymore.

 

I enjoy the occasional Pop CD as long as it's done right (Hot Chelle Rae, for example). This one is all wrong.

Coincidently I was just thinking the same thing about this band. I picked up Secret last week and while it is far from horrible, it just doesn't come close to Surgery. I really love tracks 3 and 4 and the rest have their moments but the biggest issue for me is it has no balls. I like plenty of sugary pop punk but this one woulda benefited from more crunch.

 

By the sounds of things, their latest takes it a step further still...in the wrong direction. Pass for me.

Haha... it is rough, but definitely an album of 2 halves. I have spun it a few times now and the first half it utter garbage... but all 5 of the last 5 songs have a little bit of worth. I don't mind 'em... but it's still a massive step back. I wonder if I'm the only one who liked 'Can't keep a secret?' :lol: I really like that disc.

I love "You and I Tonight". The rest I don't much listen to anymore.

I think the only song I didn't like was "G-Get Up and Dance!" That 'You and I tonight' is freakin' incredible, though.

 

Doods, I hate to say it but I definitely jumped the gun on my comments on the new CD based only on the first half of the disc. I'm actually enjoying the 2nd half plenty. The 2 ballads are simply excellent, the next 2 are nice pop rockers with cool hooks and the closer is a different but pretty cool song. If they'd just released the last 5 songs as an EP I might not be so agitated by what's happened to them. Don't get me wrong, this is by far their worst disc... but if you have it, skip the first 5 songs and give the last 5 a go.

      By TheOriginalSplash · Posted

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Rising from the Ruins

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan
