The 2 new tracks "Bitter Pill" and "Enslaved" are so-so, not doing the crue justice. But everything else is classic crue.And although the original "Shout at the Devil" "Helter Skelter" aren't aboard for the ride, and there's only "Too Fast For Love" and no "Live Wire" this is strangely enough one of the better retrospectives of the Crues carreer. It seems more so the fact because it precedes the ridiculously overbearing double enstallment of "Music to Crash Your Car Too". Anyone looking for a more complete retrospective of the Crue's career (and better new songs) are better off going with Red White & Crue. But for anyone who just wants most of the stuff that's still on the radio in one spot this is pretty much all you're gonna need.
CD Reviews
Great Song Selection...Almost

"This is a great representation of the best of Motley Crue, with the glaring exception of "Glitter." This one is hard to sit through. Surely, there are better hits than this one ("Too Young to Fall In Love", "Knock 'em Dead, Kid"?). Still, a great overview of a great band."
A defenitive MOTLEY collection, no holds barred........

"After hearing the new tracks, "Bitter Pill" and "Enslaved", I got excited! I hope future recordings sound like this. All the favorite MOTLEY traxx are included in the aswesome CD, with cool packaging with nice memoirs left by each member. A cool UK version of "Glitter" is included, a favorite track off the SWINE CD. This is a defenitive, must have for any DIEHARD CRUE HEAD! or for any metalhead over the past two decades! Long live the CRUE! I can't wait for the new CRUE live CD this month. I want to meet the CRUE someday, maybe on MTV's FANATIC show? Forever fan, Bobby D......"
Motley Crue - Take A Ride On The Wild Side

"Motley Crue is truly a great band, whether you like it or not. They defined the era of which they played in, and they took everything to the next level, on and off stage. And their music is more than satisfying, not only with outstanding guitar-playing and perfect heavy metal vocals but also with powerful, bass-driven drumming from Tommy Lee. Overall, this Greatest Hits album is a collection of Motley Crue's biggest hits, as well as two new songs. The bottom line is, if you like hard rock and you like humorous but often serious vocals, this is the album you want."
Excellent complation of L.A.'s bad boys

"This Cd opens up with two new songs from the original line up of Motley Crue. These songs are fairly mediocre but they certainly aren't bad. But once track 3 begins, and you hear that motercylcle, you know what your hearing. "Girls Girls Girls", one of the staples of eighties hard rock blairs out of the Cd player and then you are aware of why you bought the album. And it doesn't stop there. All the classics flow through this album and they have only become better since released. From the hard rocking ode to the L.A. crime scene in "Wild Side" to the thrashing riffs of "Dr. Feelgood" there are almost no complaints on this CD. Along with Def Leppard's "Vault", and "Monsters of Rock", this CD proves that eighties hard rock lives on."
