Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Best of Motley Crue: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

These Millenium Collection Series discs are frequently lacking, infrequently excellent, and in some cases downright confounding. Such is the case with this disc devoted to Motley Crue. I realize that these are budget-priced compilations for the ultra-casual fan, which means that there's only going to be about 12 or so songs on a disc, but you'd think some effort would be made to ensure the included songs were actually HITS, songs whose titles are instantly recognizable to those ultra-casual fans you are targeting, thus hopefully prompting them to PURCHASE it. I mean, the tracklisting here reads as if I gave my mom a stack of Motley Crue CD's and asked her to pick 12 songs for a best-of.

Anyone with even a passing knowledge of Motley Crue's music would expect to flip this jewel case over and see titles like "Live Wire", "Looks That Kill", "Smokin' In The Boys Room", "Wild Side", "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)", "Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)" and their only two songs to ever make the Top Ten on the pop singles charts - "Dr. Feelgood" and "Without You". NONE of these tunes are anywhere to be found. And while I can't deny the strength of songs like "All In The Name Of...", "Rock N' Roll Junkie", and "Generation Swine", those same ultra-casual fans aren't going to have much interest in those songs, because they've likely never HEARD them. If they have, they probably already have the entire MC collection and have no use for this.

Get "Greatest Hits" instead. It's only a few bucks more and it's a much more complete compilation. Still misses the mark on a few tunes, but anything's better than this slapdash mess. This truly looks like the kind of CD you'd see for sale at a truck stop between the Playboy air fresheners and the Yosemite Sam "BACK OFF" mudflaps.

Half of this album isn't even Crue classics!!! This isn't even a best of in my opinion!!! How could the Crue let this happen. I mean this is the worst best of I have ever seen. Everyone skip this this unless u want to use it as a toy for your dog or as a frisbie!

I don't know who puts these things together, but the choices here could be better. It does have "Shout At The Devil", "Home Sweet Home", "Girls Girls Girls", and "Kickstart My Heart", BUT where's "Dr. Feelgood", "Smokin' In The Boys Room", "Wild Side", and "Don't Go Away Mad (just go away)"? I mean c'mon! This collection might be cheap, but go for the legit "Greatest Hits" instead, or better yet get "Decade Of Decadence" if you can still find that.
