Album information

Former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee's new musical venture, Methods of Mayhem, is the product of his collaboration with rapper TiLo. Sparked by pent-up frustration as a result of jail stints, run-ins with the law, and tabloid reporters, Lee pulled together numerous stars from the worlds of rock and hip-hop.

Additional personnel includes: George Clinton, Kid Rock, Lil' Kim, The Crystal Method, Snoop Dogg, Fred Durst and Mix Master Mike.

This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The album booklet "ill-ustrations" features the artwork of Derek Hess.

The supporting tour for album featured Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction) on drums.

"Crash" was featured in the video game Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec and the theatrical trailer for the film Driven. "Hypocritical" was featured in the video game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2.

Reception

  • Entertainment Weekly (1/7/2000, p. 68) - "Most of this rap-metal is surprisingly legit - and cameos by Lil' Kim, Fred Durst, and Kid Rock don't hurt." - Rating: B-
  • Q magazine (4/2000, p. 96) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...big, thumping, sweary, contemporary noise. Lee is entirely serious; he has the group's name tattooed on his arse cheeks..."
  • Alternative Press (3/2000, p .86) - 4 out of 5 - "...armed to the teeth with special guests, hopping between metal-edged techno and radio-minded hard rock. The surprise: It ain't bad, and a few of these tunes are 'really good'..."
  • CMJ (12/27/1999, p. 5) - "...brass-knuckled, rhythmically dense, rap-rock....owing more to pop-industrial music and Bomb Squad production than it does to Fred Durst....one of 1999's grittiest, most heartfelt rap-rock albums..."
  • Vibe (2/2000, p. 160) - "...combines heavy guitar riffs with insolent B-boy wordplay....As an exercise in funky head-banging, MAYHEM isn't half bad....producer, Scott Humphrey manages to mix up [Tommy] Lee's limited palette just enough to keep you tuned in..."
  • NME (2/14/2000, p. 41) - 6 out of 10 - "...contains more than enough of the mysterious kick-ass factor....successfully [mixing] hip-hop beats with some exceedingly heavy guitar riffing..."
