Warrant's debut remastered, October 30, 2004
Sony has recently remastered a handful of popular 80's metal albums,its good to see that Warrant got the special treatment. Here is Warrant's Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin Rich remastered and sounding better than ever. In addition to the original album being remastered and having new liner notes, there are also two demos included.This was they album that introduced the world to Warrant. Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin Rich includes the following hits;32 Pennies,Down Boys,Sometimes She Cries,Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin Rich, and of course the hit power ballad Heaven.Warrant may not have been the toughest metal band,but they knew how to craft a great song.Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin Rich is essential for any fan of 80's hair metal.

Great CD! BAD MP3 Price!, July 29, 2009
I know amazon.com is at the mercy of the record companies just the same as iTunes is. But when are the record companies going to learn? You can't sell a NOTHING more than a something!
You can order this CD for $6.99 and physically own it OR you can pay $10.99 for a digital NOTHING copy. You can't resell MP3s if you got tired of it. I was in Everyday Music in Portland OR this past weekend and found a CD I know sells for Sony's new $6.99 price-point and they had a used one for $8.50 - that's kind of the same kind of price gouging the record companies are doing with these easy MP3s.
Warrant - Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich CD - Awesome. I had it on cassette (including a cassette single of "Down Boys") in my youth. I'm very pleased with the remastering/repacking work. The old red letter Sony CD is out and the new repacking is in. Just buy it on CD though and save yourself $4.
I told someone at Everday their CD was priced too high and he lowered it to $3.95 and I bought it. To buy this MP3, make it $4.99 and I might consider it.

Dated and cheesy, but still plenty of fun, April 4, 2008
I realize I'm probably surrendering all of my cool points here, but this must be said. I absolutely loved Warrant when I was younger. In fact, I thought the boys' synchronized moves in the Down Boys video was about the coolest thing a "metal" band could do in a music video. Sad, isn't it? Well, I was only 13 at the time, so I hope I can be forgiven.
Years later I still love 80's rock, and yes I have a soft spot for Warrant. And why not? Their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich might have been the cheesiest example of 80's excess, but it's the good kind of cheese. The fun kind that makes you drum on your steering wheel and shout along to a catchy rocker like Big Talk or Down Boys. There aren't enough albums these days that put a smile on my face like this one does.
DRFSR has its share of unimpressive songs, from filler like 32 Pennies and So Damn Pretty (Should Be Against the Law) to the downright dreadful In the Sticks and the title track. Still, there are enough good songs on here that I still find myself reaching for the CD from time to time. In addition to Down Boys and Big Talk, Sometimes She Cries is actually a much better power ballad than Heaven, and Ridin' High and Cold Sweat end the album with a hard rockin' bang.
Warrant have since become the poster boys for all that was wrong with the 80's hair metal scene, and perhaps deservedly so, but a lot of people enjoyed their brand of substance free, feel-good rock & roll back in the day, and no amount of Nirvana or (God help us all) Coldplay albums can ever change that.
NOTE: DRFSR was reissued in 2004 with digitally remastered sound and a pair of bonus demo tracks. The demos are interesting, but they're also pretty rough.
