Generation Swine

Generation Swine has the potential to be visceral and contemporary, and on tracks like "Find Myself" and "Let Us Prey," Motley Crue actually meld metal and industrial into a high-voltage hybrid. But too often, the group lapses into cheeseball melodies and wimpy choruses that undermine its more inventive efforts. And if the band was trying to prove to the world that it's still hungry and forward-thinking, it should have thought twice before including a revamped version of the 14-year-old song "Shout At the Devil." --Jon Wiederhorn
