MÖTLEY CRÜE ( MOTLEY CRUE ) - SHOUT AT THE DEVIL 12" Vinyl LP Album

- Canadian Pressing in Gatefold album cover

"Shout at the Devil" is the second album by glam metal band Mötley Crüe, released on 26 September 1983. The record, along with its predecessor Too Fast for Love, is regarded as one of the most influential of its genre. "Looks that Kill" and " Too Young to Fall in Love" became huge hits and "Shout at the Devil" became very popular as well. Shout is a textbook example of Heavy metal as it existed in the 80s. Song topics included sex, violence, drugs, and youthful rebellion. In addition, the visual influence of the band in this era was palpable as their massive hair, makeup, and tough, violent imagery contributed greatly to the visual aspects of glam metal.
