Shout at the Devil by Motley Crue
Shout at the Devil is an album by Motley Crue, released in 1983. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 83 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Looks That Kill”, on 30 lists with a best position of #19.
Shout at the Devil, Mötley Crüe's second album, came out on Elektra in 1983 with Tom Werman producing, and it's the sound of four Hollywood hellraisers going from local menace to national threat. Nikki Sixx's bass and Tommy Lee's drums hit like a wrecking ball, Mick Mars carves out riffs thick with grime, and Vince Neil yowls over the top like he's daring anyone to stop him.
This is heavy metal first and foremost, before the band tipped over into glam, and it's all menace and swagger. "Looks That Kill", "Too Young to Fall in Love" and the title track went out as singles and did moderately well. It was their breakthrough, the record that set them up as one of the top-selling metal bands of the 1980s.
