Can't say I'm a huge fan of the new Crue album. It reeks of desperation to get attention IMO. They want and maybe need to cash in and the truth is the Crue painted themselves into a corner years ago when they let their antics, both on and off stage, and their insanity usurp whatever good music they made. That kind of infamy won't allow them to do anything new or different, it has to be the Crue as everyone thinks of them or no one wants it. Nikki writng books about the insanity doesn't help, there is no way for them to live up to their past now or to move past it.

As for BJ a year off would do them some good, just to give them time to gather their thoughts, but whatever the new album will be it won't be SWW part 3. They aren't those guys anymore, their lives aren't in that place anymore.
