Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: The Heroin Diaries (the soundtrack to Nikki Sixx's addiction memoir of the same name) sounds nothing like the music that catapulted Nikki Sixx into the limelight (and, presumably, the dank and dark underground of addiction) with Mötley Crüe more than 20 years ago. And the music suffers for it. Perhaps Sixx didn't want to romanticize addiction and ill behavior by unleashing a series of rockers that would send fists high in the air and let the spirit, at least for a moment, soar while the listener struggled to better understand the seductive lure of dependence and decadence. (If anyone cares that much--this is rock & roll, after all, and not Oprah.) Instead, Sixx dresses the songs in the trappings of contemporary pop so that "Tomorrow," "Life is Beautiful" and "Accidents Can Happen" sound like lite imitations of the lesser bands that have captured the public's imagination in the wake of the Crüe's inexplicable absence from the recording studio. ("Permission" may even be Sixx's first stab at getting airplay on CMT.) The true rockers, far too slender in number, are half-realized and pallid; the lyrics are overly diaristic (yes) and fail to live up to Sixx's vintage street sophistication ("Dancing on Glass" and "Kickstart My Heart"). The Heroin Diaries comes off more like an affectless pity party than a walk on the wild side. --Jedd Beaudoin

Customer Reviews
It's not Crue, It's Sixx AM
The editorial review was rather harsh on this release. This is NOT Motle Crue. This is Nikki Sixx's current project. I think the reviewer forgot that. The customer reviews have been far more telling of the quality of the music.
The songs are powerful and thoughtful. The lyrics have a way of sticking in your head, and the music has way of making you turn up the volume. And Sixx's voice has a powerful resonating quality that I could listen to all day, and sometimes I have.
I would suggest it to any one, not just Crue fans. It's just good rock music.

Amazing!
Simply put this album is amazing. I was never a big Motley Crue fan, and never really payed much attention to any of the members and what they were/are doing. For some reason I picked up this album, I think after maybe hearing an interview with Sixx on my local radio station. I thought "hmmm sounds like an interesting concept, a soundtrack to a book." So I bought the album, and absolutly love it. One of the best albums I've heard in a while. It's emotional, it's depressing at times, uplifting at others. Finally an album that makes me feel something and moves me. Plus I can't get "courtesy call" out of my head.

Very different than a Crüe follower would expect...
When listening to 'Life Is Beautiful' and discovered it was Nikki Sixx, it gave me pause for thought...
While not being someone who listened to Mötley Crüe regularly, I was impressed with the way he told the story about his heroin addiction with music and song. As far as some comments about this album having a dark mood to it, I would suggest the album has a more straight forward music arrangement with song writing that speaks to the realities of drug addiction.
The songs do work well together in the form of a concept album. My only criticism is the overuse of the monologue before and after some songs. This would be a worthwhile purchase for those who listen to this genre of music.

Six AM is definitely honest with their addiction
Dead Man's Ballet is my favorite while all the other songs are great as usual.

i cant believe people like this cd! about 3 tracks are good
3 maybe 4 tracks are good, if you liked life is beatiful thats about the only song that sounds like that, most of the songs are slow and whining. dont buy!
