Motley Crue Theatre of Pain (40th Anniversary)

40th Anniversary Limited Edition Vinyl LP!
Standard black vinyl, newly remastered, updated artwork!
Originally released in June 1985, American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe's third studio album, Theatre of Pain, ushered in a bold new sound and look while still maintaining the band's signature hard rock intensity. This trendsetting album set the template in terms of style and music for many bands that followed, while the Crüe themselves continued to evolve with each album.
Released in the aftermath of lead vocalist Vince Neil's arrest for manslaughter on a drunk driving charge, the album marked the beginning of the band's transition away from the traditional heavy metal sound of Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil, towards a more glam metal style. It received negative or indifferent critical response, and is poorly regarded by some of the band members.
Theatre of Pain contains the hit singles "Smokin' in the Boys Room" and the power ballad "Home Sweet Home". It was supported by the Theatre of Pain world tour from July 7, 1985 to March 3, 1986.
Theatre of Pain was the Crüe's first LP to hit the US Top 10, landing at #6. It was a true global smash as well, hitting #7 Australia, #7 Sweden, #5 Finland, #11 Canada, and their first UK Top 40 album (#36). The album is currently RIAA-certified 4x platinum in the US and 3x platinum in Canada.
The seminal video for their iconic track "Home Sweet Home" was #1 most requested for over 90 days and caused MTV to institute the "Crüe Rule," where a video could only be eligible for the request line for 30 days!
