"Shout At The Devil" was the sophomore release of Motley Crue after the inspiring punk/glam debut of "Too Fast For Love" boosted their name to the sky, and introduced a heavier and darker side of the band. This highly anticipated record thrust their name to stardom when it was released in 1983 with the mystical anthemic of "Shout At The Devil" and the fierceful groove of "Looks That Kill". At that time, Nikki Sixx was deeply drawn to the black magic and occultism books hence giving him the idea of pentagram and the album title, but after weird things began to happened around their house, he was spooked off and dropped the idea of revolving around devilish thing and moved away to his expertise - sex, drugs, and violence.

While their later release, "Dr.Feelgood", was their most successful sobriety creation racking up six platinums and also my big favorite, "Shout" in my opinion, should be considered their magnum opus. Crue showed their true identity with the raw rampaging riffs and the baddest attitude, constructing a perfect combination of shock rock, glam, and heavy metal. Listen to the fast-paced adrenaline-pumper "Red Hot" and "Bastard", the catchy cream of "Too Young To Fall In Love", or the magnificent rendition of Beatles' "Helter Skelter", you'll know how Motley Crue shaped the decade. A great entertainment!
