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 M÷tley Crⁿe 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 Crⁿe'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.
