Musical style[edit]

The album's sound is typical of the Sunset Stripglam metal scene of the 1980s, featuring heavy guitars and melodic, catchy choruses.

Production and marketing[edit]

The album was released amidst some controversy. It was widely rumored that guitarists Erik Turner and Joey Allen had not played a note on the album and that all guitar work had been performed by ex-Streets guitarist and session musician Mike Slamer.^[4] While the rumor has never been verified, Slamer's wife confirmed in 1998 that her husband played guitar on the record.^[5] Mike Slamer has stated in interviews that he played guitar and the lead solos on the album.Producer Beau Hill stated in a 2012 interview that Slamer did in fact play on the album. Beau had said to the band that the 'songs are really great, but I think we’re a little weak in the solo department and so I like to bring somebody in'. Beau also stated that 'everybody in the band signed off on it and everything was done above ground'.^[6]

During the recording of the album, vocalistJani Lane walked in on his best friend in bed with his girlfriend, leading to his nervous breakdown, and its release was delayed by several months while Lane recovered. These events would later be recounted in the single 'I Saw Red' on the band's following album, Cherry Pie.^[7]

The record was produced and engineered by Beau Hill, who also contributed keyboards and backing vocals. It was recorded at The Enterprise in Burbank, California.

Songs[edit]

The album's themes, which include materialism ('32 Pennies', 'D.R.F.S.R'), sex ('Down Boys', 'So Damn Pretty', 'Cold Sweat'), heartbreak ('Heaven') and loneliness ('Sometimes She Cries'), would be echoed on later Warrant releases.

The debut single from the band was 'Down Boys', the song has been described as 'one of the toughest, heaviest songs in [Warrant's] catalog, and certainly at the top of both categories in terms of their hit singles.'^[8]

The second single was the smash hit 'Heaven' which took Warrant's record company by surprise. Indeed, once the widespread appeal of the song became apparent, the band were instructed to re-record the track to lend it a 'bigger radio sound'. Beau Hill remixed the song for the single release. The first 250,000 copies of the record featured the original version while later pressings featured a new version.^[9]'Heaven' had previously been recorded by Jani Lane and Steven Sweet's old band Plain Jane.

Reception[edit]

AllMusic gave Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich a rating of four out of five stars, saying that the album was 'sleek and clean, built on processed guitars and cavernous drums' and that it 'sounds exactly like that year [1989], both for better and worse.'^[10] Dave Reynolds of Kerrang! considers the album 'hardly outstanding', with only 'a bunch of distinctly average songs matched to a brace of worthwhile moments'.^[11]

Other bands were bigger, other bands were better, but no other group embodied the spirit of late-'80s hair metal as much as Warrant. They were slick and tuneful, cheerfully shallow and gussied up to look prettier than they actually are. It was the era in a nutshell -- proud to be all surface and no depth. That aesthetic is what drives their debut, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, an album where they shake and shimmy like rock stars because that's what they desperately want to be. To achieve that, they distilled the sounds of L.A. at the time, where everybody used Van Halen and Kiss as a template, balancing the former's guitar hero antics and flamboyant sex-god frontman with the latter's big dumb riffs and pop hooks. Warrant surely weren't the first to do it -- Ratt and Poison brought it into the mainstream a few years earlier -- but the glossy package of Dirty Rotten makes it emblematic of its time. It's sleek and clean, built on processed guitars and cavernous drums, never taking more time than it needs, pushing the hooks front and center, along with a mile-wide sentimental streak best heard on the power ballads 'Sometimes She Cries' and 'Heaven,' which sold this album to a wider, largely female audience that was also enamored with frontman Jani Lane's pretty looks. But don't be mistaken -- those are two slow moments on an album that's a party record, the time when the lights dim and the kids sway in a slow dance. The rest of this is good-time pop-metal, all professionally done but leaving little lasting impression, outside of the tremendous 'Down Boys,' which sounds exactly the same as the rest of the record but has an indelible chorus and is the one time when the band actually sounds powerful instead of preening. But it's hard to criticize an album for not making a lasting impression when it was designed to be in the moment, something to blast at keggers and when cruising through town. It served its purpose in 1989, and years later, it sounds exactly like that year, both for better and worse.
