Your Filthy Little Mouth

This album has some good material but Dave made a colossal mistake by not putting Mississippi Power on this album. The whole album should've been tracks like that because the lyrics and music really fit the blues theme he was going for at the time.

Your Filthy Little Mouth is one of the often overlooked DLR albums, along with DLR Band. Roth saw his solo career waning in terms of success at this point, and his voice starts to sound strained. The best songs off of this album consist of the title track, She's My Machine, Big Train, No Big 'Ting, and Night Life. Most of this album is consistently average, with most tracks offering more of Dave's philosophy and varied style. This album's lack of critical success was a sign of things to come, as Roth would release his next album, DLR Band, on his own.

Nice

If you don't like this album you aren't a true ROTH FAN!!

I bought this back when it came out. "She's My Machine" is a serviceable opener, but no classic. I almost threw the cd out the window halfway through "Everybody's Got The Monkey", but then things began to improve. Dave largely (and wisely) ditched his arena god persona on this one. Perhaps humbled by cratering album sales. But he has also proven over the years to be a man of many flavors and tastes and he infused this album with a hint of New York City street life. Or tried to, at least. He was living there at the time. What he didn't ditch was his self-deprecating style of humor or his confidence. The highlights are "Experience", "Hey, You Never Know", "Land's Edge", and "Sunburn" which is Dave at his sultry-cool best. "Sunburn" is one of those songs that Dave's voice really still shines on. No yelps or attempts to hit the notes of old, but it just oozes Dave nevertheless. "Your Filthy Little Mouth" is also a rollicking classic Dave rocker. Make sure the kids aren't nearby when you play it though. "Cheatin' Heart Cafe" is a duet with Travis Tritt. A toe tapper, but largely forgettable. Somebody must've called in a big favor to get Travis into the studio. "No Big Ting" is entertaining and funny as well as retrospective. Which is where we find this NYC version of Dave. Often looking back. Not with regrets mind you. That's not his style. Just a healthy dose of Philosophy a la Dave peppered with the wit and wisdom only experience can bring. A number of these songs reward you immensely after several replays. I'd rank this effort a bit behind Eat 'Em and Smile and Crazy From the Heat. If you're new to Dave's solo work then start there. But if you're looking to go deeper into his catalog there's some good work here. Sadly, by the time of it's release Dave had worn himself thin with his over the topness and radio had moved on to Alternative scene. Had he followed up Eat 'Em and Smile with something like this instead of the extremely mediocre Skyscraper, his solo career might've followed a different arc.

On YFLM, gone are the gonzo sounds and all out adrenaline of ALAE and the like. This is a stripped-down, James Bond approach to the proceedings. Dave's lyrics are spectacular as usual, but unfortunately his backing band is a far cry from the likes of Vai, Becker, and the Greg Bissonette. YFLM is an eclectic collection of tracks to say the least, but open minds and discerning tastes will quickly grasp that Dave's genius transcends all genres of music from blues rock or reggae. For a taste, buy She's My Machine, YFLM, and No Big 'Ting

Some great songs, well produced and played. Of course there are a few dogs, but even some of the early VH records had a misstep or two. And don't get me started on much of the tripe that Van Hagar offered over the years. (No, it's not all bad, but some of it is atrocious and we all know it.) Bottom line--Dave's not trying nearly as hard on this effort as he sometimes does, and it serves the music nicely.

NO ME GUSTA ESCUCHAR MUSICA Y DAVID LEE ROTH. ES HORRIBLE.

A step down from what I expected. Track 1, 4, and 13 are worth a listen.

Being a huge VH / David Lee Roth Fan when I first started using itunes at the begining of this yer my first stop was to see what they had from Dave. I was very dissapointed at first because at the beginig of the year they only had a couple of his albums, and this wasn't one of them. To tell the truth i bought this album in 1994 when it was first relased and I didn't really like it after giving it only a brief listening to. The one song I did like at the time was, "No Big Ting" and "She's My Machine wasn't bad either. I wrote the rest of the album off without giving it much of a chance and it wasn't until about 5 years later that I really gave it a good listen. The second time around I was hooked. This album proves that Dave is open to doing different types of music and not afraid to stray from the tride and true. So if any of you out there are like I was and wrote this album off a while ago give it another try you might just find that it was truly ahead of it's time. This is now one of my favorite Roth albums. Another great is Dave's DLR Album which is alot harder than this one.
