Shout at the Devil is the second studio album by American hard rock band Mötley Crüe, released on September 26, 1983. The songs "Looks that Kill" and " Too Young to Fall in Love" charted on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Shout at the Devil" also charted on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Overview

A warning that the album may contain "masked backwards messages" is included. This is in reference to Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee trying to chant "Jesus is Satan" as an underdub on the title track. Song topics include sex, violence, drugs, and youthful rebellion.

A limited edition "Mini-LP" compact disc version of the album was released in the Japanese market that features the original cover that was previously available only on the vinyl LP release.

In 2003, the band reissued their albums on their own label, Mötley Records, including added bonus tracks from each album's specific era. These bonus tracks are mainly demos for the album, with the inclusion of the previously unreleased song "I Will Survive", a track that was recorded for the album but was not included. "Black Widow" from Music to Crash Your Car to: Vol. 2 box set and the Red, White and Crüe compilation was also left off this album. In addition, the music video for "Looks That Kill" is also included.
