Theatre Of Pain

Originally released in June 1985, Motley Cr?e'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 Cr?e themselves continued to evolve with each album. Theatre Of Pain was the Cr?e'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 "Cr?e Rule," where a video could only be eligible for the request line for 30 days! 40th Anniversary Edition. Standard black vinyl, newly remastered, updated artwork.
