about

Mick Mars chose a dead solid perfect title for his first solo record. The Other Side of Mars is very much indeed the side of Mick that we've never really experienced before. It is so far removed from his work with Mötley Crüe that it's almost hard to believe that it's the same Mick Mars who co-founded Crüe some forty plus years ago. His first solo endeavor, which is just now being released in his 72nd year on earth(!), ironically seems to open a second book on Mars' already long and illustrious career.

This distinctiveness is apparent right from the essential instrumentation on the LP as Mars incorporates a wealth of instruments and sounds on this record. Yeah, you're going to hear Mick's chunky, hefty guitars, no doubt, but you're also going to get sounds coming from violas, violins, and keyboards. In conjunction with the instrument selection, the song arrangements are rather removed from both the Crue material as well as anything any of the other members of the band put together on their own solo records. This is rather different from anything like Sixx A.M., and it's in an entirely different universe, thankfully, from Methods Of Mayhem.

Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into with their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
