Reception
Shout at the Devil is regarded as the heaviest sounding Mötley Crüe album by critics and fans alike. Song topics included sex, violence, drugs, and youthful rebellion. In addition, the visual influence of the band in this era was palpable as their massive hair, makeup, and tough, violent imagery contributed greatly to the visual aspects of glam metal, all resulting in the album being regarded as a textbook example of the genre. The album was awarded 4x Platinum (reaching the four million mark in shipments) on May 15, 1997.[3] The cover of the album, much like their debut was to The Rolling Stones, is a tribute, this time to The Beatles’ Let It Be.
