Details Lead Performance: Motley Crue; Genre: Rock

Chastened, perhaps, by the sniggering that greeted ill-fitting stabs at relevance on their last studio album, Motley Crue gets back to basics with New Tattoo, and not a moment too soon for those wanting to party like it's 1989. Once more, the world's stupidest women are objectified in the world's stupidest sing-alongs (''Hell on High Heels,'' ''Porno Star''). A climactic cover of ''White Punks on Dope'' tries to reassure us the Crue are in on the joke. If they say so. D+
