Editorial Reviews

A third in the new David Lee Roth remasters series from Friday Music, the 1994 epic Your Filthy Little Mouth is often regarded as his most enduring, introspective and top album choice amongst his most ardent fans. For some crazy reason, this highly collectable cd has been out-of-print for over a decade...... but that is all fixed now. Friday Music is now offering Your Filthy Little Mouth again. This time with a wonderful remastering by Joe Reagoso, restored artwork and lyrics, which maintain the integrity and spirit of the original rock masterpiece.

"She's My Machine" and "Everybody's Got The Monkey" were huge radio favorites as this Nile Rodgers produced collection continues the rugged pace with twelve more incredible performances. Outlaw rocker Travis Tritt even gets a blues rockin' duet with David on "Cheatin' Heart Café".

Surprises continue with the jazz fusion undertones on "Sunburn" and "Experience", which have gone on to become some of his more enduring tunes. No doubt about it Your Filthy Little Mouth charted new heights for DLR. As always, his musician pool is fit for a king- Terry Kilgore (guitar), John Regan (bass), Tony Beard (drums), plus Steve Hunter ( guitar) makes an appearance on the soulful "A Little Luck", plus the keyboard wizardry of Richard Hilton rounds out most of the elite players on this collection.

Your Filthy Little Mouth is back....restored artwork, complete lyrics and photos, nice remastering....this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's truly delivered the goods on this one folks.... Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A unique and interesting album, May 22, 2005

In 1994 David Lee Roth released his fourth solo album, "Your Filthy Little Mouth". His previous album, "A Little Ain't Enough" had been a critical and commercial disappointment. Sensing that it was time for an image change, Dave put out a more mature album. The result is a very creative, interesting collection of songs. Nile Rogers did a superb job producing the album. This is one of the most artistic and diverse albums that I have ever heard. All of the songs are catchy with good hooks. There are several different styles of music on this disc. There is Van Halenish, with "She's My Machine," "Big Train," and "Your Beathin' it." There is a lot of blues here with "Experience," "Land's Edge," "Sunburn" and "Nightlife." There is a rap/regge song with "No big Ting," and a country song with "Cheatin' Heart Cafe." There are midtempo rockers here with "Everybody's got the Monkey" and "Hey, You Never Know." "A little luck" is a Vegas style lounge number. Dave's band is also great. The guitar player, Terry Kilgore, may not be as technically good or flashy as Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, or Jason Becker, but that's OK; because Kilgore's straight-ahead, no-frills blues playing suits the album like a glove. Lyrically, this is Dave's best work. The lyrics are clever, ironic and reflective. The booklet is excellent to, with a lot of cool photos, drawing, and lyrics. When this album came out in 1994, it flopped and received mediocre to awful reviews. That is really a shame, because, as one of the other reviewers has pointed out, this album is ART! If your a fan of Dave, listen to this with an open mind, and without any preconceived notions of what to expect. If you are expecting to hear "Women and Children First" or "1984," you are going to be in for a major disappointment. If you are open minded, than you will hopefully like this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A total gem, September 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Filthy Little Mouth (Audio CD)

I picked this one up the day it came out and was blown away by its music and creativity. This is a true GEM of a recording, and Dave proves that he has many dimensions--unlike many rock singers--and unlike, certainly, his overrated VH replacement Sammy Hagar. Hagar, or many others, could NEVER come up with the depth Roth finds on this album. Dave's voice has the range and SOUL that few singers can boast of.
You'll be surprised by how many songs (or styles) you'll like on this one. And to prove that this wasn't a complete career turnaround for Dave, he put out DLR Band in 1998--the solo album to end all albums.
But here, just enjoy Dave's range and versitility. WB should have their heads examimed for pulling this from the shelves. They obviously don't care about ART.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Diamond In the Rough, July 23, 2002

By 

Ian M. Rice (Port Jefferson, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Your Filthy Little Mouth (Audio CD)

David Lee Roth presented the unsuspecting music world with "Your Filthy Little Mouth" in 1994, an album filled with experimentation and mastery of a vast number of musical styles. The only problem was that nobody outside of Roth's immediate fanbase paid any sort of attention. In a market then-saturated by the Seattle scene, Roth's style of straightforward rock was hip to ignore.
Which is too bad really, as the album is filled with great material. It tricks you at first, opening with "She's My Machine", a dirty little rocker with lyrics about a fast street machine. But, Roth quickly jumps that ship to favor some down-and-dirty blues riffs. Both "Big Train" and "Experience" show just how great Roth is at doing the blues and makes you wonder why he didn't focus on it solely a long time ago.
It is at this point that the album stumbles a bit, with "Cheatin' Heart Cafe", a duet with country artist Travis Tritt. This could just be my own dislike for the country sound, but this song falls about twenty yards short of holding any sort of interest. The presense of Tritt (who, for the record, I'm not intending to knock) ushers in that trite element that most country music of the recent past beholds. Not to worry, though. The album picks up steam right away with the very upbeat and catchy "Hey, You Never Know" and carries it through the rest of the record.
The album's closer (aside from a remix of an album track tacked onto the end) is perhaps its best track, the delightfully subdued "Sunburn." Even now, eight years removed from its release, I'm still fascinated by this tune. Maybe its the beauty of its sheer simplicity, or the airy nature of its guitar tone, but the song is just a masterpiece and a perfect note to close out the album.
Around the time of the whole Roth/Van Halen reunion debacle of 1996, Warner Brothers Records decided to take this album out of its catalog for good. This caused quite a stir in Roth's fanbase, as the album was nanoseconds from going Gold (500,000 copies sold). So, needless to say, this album is relegated to cut-out and/or used CD bins in record stores nationwide. So, you may have to search for it, but you'd be well advised to go through the effort for this album. You won't be disappointed.
