Editorial Review:
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
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Jedd Beaudoin missed the point entirely.
The Heroin Diaries Sountrack was never intended to be the typical head-banging, fist thrusting album. This is NOT Motley Crue.
What we have here is, I think, exactly what Nikki Sixx intended: REALLY GOOD music that captures the pain of an addict's darkest year. The more "diaristic" tracks are just as powerful as the songs.
I recommend buying this album, as well as the book. They can stand alone, but together, the experience becomes so much more powerful.
Rating: - Nikki's heart
This book is absolutely amazing, easy to read, funny, dark, deep, all in one. Nikki really opens his heart and your world to help others. Excellent book!
Rating: - Disagreeing With The Editorial Review
I was quite shocked at how the editorial review for this cd was so negative. Yes its true that this is different from Niki Sixx's previous work but in my opinoin it is vastly better. Throughout the cd, the listener can feel the raw emotion that Sixx was feeling at that time. It is simply a phenominal cd.
Rating: - The Best New Band and CD Out!
If anyone has read the Heroin Diaries, they have to get this CD. it is very toughing and emotional, but hard and heavy as well. i have listeded to this CD just about every day. i would say the Best Band and CD from Nikki Sixx.
Rating: - Heroin Diaries Soundtrack
This CD is loaded with deep and emotional music. Nikki Sixx and SIXX:AM put these words into edgy tunes that sets the tone for the book. What an amazing job! I love the music. If you love Motley Crue you will almost certainly love this CD as well....Check it out!
