Musical style
The record represents a style of heavy rock commonly referred to as glam metal. It is characterized by heavy, distorted guitar riffs and catchy, melodic choruses.
Production and marketing
Canadian producer Bob Rock provided the record with a lush, vibrant sound, applying production values which had been lacking from the band's previous releases.
Rock found the process of working with Mötley Crüe difficult, describing the band as "four L.A. badasses who used to drink a bottle of wine and want to kill each other."[1] In order to minimize conflict and allow production of the record to proceed smoothly, Rock had each member play their parts separately.
