Mötley Crüe – Theatre of Pain LP

Mötley Crüe – Theatre of Pain

Third Studio Album Reissued on Vinyl LP!

Certified 4x Platinum in the US and their first Top 10 Album, 1985's Theatre of Pain made it all the way to #6 and includes the timeless classic with the record-setting video "Home Sweet Home" plus the Crüe's first Top 40 hit "Smokin' in the Boys Room" (#16).

"Backing away from the mild pseudo-Satanic posturing on parts of Shout at the Devil in favor of a more glammed-up image, Mötley Crüe really began to hit their commercial stride with Theatre of Pain, which broke them on MTV with the power ballad 'Home Sweet Home' and a remake of Brownsville Station's 'Smokin' in the Boys' Room'. Overall, the guitar riffing sounds less heavy metal and more pop-metal; similarly, the sound of the record is slicker and more arranged, polished for mainstream acceptance and airplay. A higher percentage of dull filler has crept into the songwriting, but there are still enough high points to rescue the album's momentum."
-Steve Huey, AllMusic
