Motley Crue: Vince Neil (vocals); Mick Mars (guitar); Nikki Sixx (bass); Tommy Lee (drums).

Although this is the second greatest hits collection from the Crue, these are the songs in their original form (remastered instead of remixed). 1991's DECADE OF DECADENCE altered the tracks, with the remixes lessening the impact of the songs. The band subsequently acquired the rights to their catalog and formed Motley records, so this album contains minimal interference from the powers that be. Included are poignant and humorous liner notes by the band, reminiscing on almost 20 years together.

"Bitter Pill" and "Enslaved" are newly recorded tracks, and are excellent songs that fit right in with the classics. They are modern sounding, picking up where GENERATION SWINE left off. Also new is a remixed version of SWINE's "Glitter," which outdoes the original. It's strictly old school after that, as ballads ("Home Sweet Home"), covers ("Smokin' In The Boy's Room"), and vintage tracks ("Too Fast For Love") are represented. Hits like "Dr. Feelgood" and "Girls, Girls, Girls" sound as fresh as when they were released. Sonically, the remastering job is outstanding, as the sound is pristine. Play at maximum volume.
