The Dirt: A Motley Crue Retrospective - Episode 2: Shout at the Devil - Renegade Jukebox #36

February 29, 2024 by Michael Kaye in Music, Renegade Jukebox

In this episode, Mike and Nick continue their journey through the discography of Motley Crüe, from the perspective of two metalheads who haven't heard the majority of their albums in full. They travel back to 1983 to discuss the band's 2nd studio album, Shout at the Devil!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my co-host, the Super Saiyan Death Metal God, and welcome back to The Dirt! 1983 was a crucial year for heavy metal. In doing research for this episode, I was reminded that this was the same year that saw the release of Metallica’s debut Kill ‘em All, Slayer’s debut Show No Mercy, Ozzy Osbourne’s third solo record Bark at the Moon, and my favorite Iron Maiden album, Piece of Mind! So how does Motley Crüe’s sophomoric album fare against these classics? There’s only one way to find out. Tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion on Shout at the Devil!

New decade. New rules. New Trivium, figuratively and literally. In Waves is a huge turning point in the band's catalog, one the band insisted was a necessary step to them continuing. Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.

Uh oh, Nick & Mike are entering controversial territory on this Jukebox episode. This time on The Trivium Retrospective, we look at the first Trivium album worth defending. The Crusade is a widely debated album. Is it just copying Metallica or is there legitimate merit to these songs? Or is it just people making shit up to hate on a band that got popular off a landmark classic album? Listen and find out.
