LAメタルの興隆を築きあげたころの、モトリー・クルー節が復活したアルバム。スピードにまかせて走るよりもミディアムテンポでたたみかけてくる曲がメインになっている。暴走するようなワイルドさは薄れたが、「バッド・ボーイ」の面影を残すナンバーもあり、昔からのファンも期待を裏切られない内容だ。
バンド活動における試練や、ミュージックシーンの変化を経験して、たどり着いた落ち着きや風格が感じられる1枚。ただ1つ、音楽性の違いから、ドラマーのトミー・リーが脱退してしまったのが残念だ。（富良仁 枝実）
From Amazon.com
Forget about everything else Motley Cr has released in the 1990s--their
self-titled 1994 release and its follow-up,
Generation Swine, are embarrassments. Instead, wrap your ears around
New Tattoo. This is what this band has always been all about: riffs, hooks, sass, raunch, and hair. Except for the fact that they're older and have replaced Tommy Lee with Randy Castillo, going by the band photos in the CD booklet, this could be 1989. True, the Cr also seem to have gained at least a
little wisdom--the prostitute in "Hell on High Heels" has HIV, fame clearly has its downside in "Fake," and instead of indulging in "Girls, Girls, Girls," the boys have evidently discovered the joys of safe cyber-sex in "Porno Star." On the other hand, the title track is a love song; they evidently miss the old days so much that they're willing to go to outer space for the chance to have that much fun again ("1st Band on the Moon"); and their romances are as problematic as ever ("Hollywood Ending," "Punched in the Teeth by Love"). With
New Tattoo, the Cr have recaptured the essence of what made them superstars. Whether that'll happen again is open to question, but it's still a good argument for sticking to what you're good at.
