'''''Let It Scream''''' is the first album of the American hard rock band [The Scream](/source/The_Scream_(band)). It was the only album by the band to be officially released by a major record company.

The song "I Don't Care" was co-written by the band's original drummer [Scott Travis](/source/Scott_Travis), who left The Scream, who were at the time known as Saints Or Sinners, to replace drummer [Dave Holland](/source/Dave_Holland_(drummer)) in [Judas Priest](/source/Judas_Priest) before ''Let It Scream'' was recorded.<ref name="LarkinHM">{{cite book |title=[The Guinness Who's Who of Heavy Metal](/source/Encyclopedia_of_Popular_Music) |date=1995 |publisher=[Guinness Publishing](/source/Guinness_Publishing) |isbn=0-85112-656-1 |editor=Colin Larkin |editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer) |edition=Second |page=317}}</ref>

After this album, vocalist John Corabi left The Scream to replace [Vince Neil](/source/Vince_Neil) in [Mötley Crüe](/source/M%C3%B6tley_Cr%C3%BCe).<ref>{{cite news |last=Fielder Jr. |first=Gordon |date=August 20, 1994 |title=Motley Crue promises unique ending to BiCenter performance |page=3 |newspaper=The Salina Journal |publisher=Salina Journal |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/19496902/motley_crue_promises_unique_performance/ |access-date=April 23, 2018}}</ref>

Also after this album, former Dashboard Mary lead vocalist Billy Fogarty replaced John Corabi in The Scream, and the band made a radical change in their musical style.

Many of the songs on this album were performed by the band in concert before this album was recorded.

The song "You Are All I Need" features backing vocals by then [Badlands](/source/Badlands_(American_band)) members [Ray Gillen](/source/Ray_Gillen) and [Jeff Martin](/source/Jeff_Martin_(American_musician)). Jeff Martin had also been in the band [Racer X](/source/Racer_X_(band)) with The Scream members [Bruce Bouillet](/source/Bruce_Bouillet), [John Alderete](/source/John_Alderete), and [Scott Travis](/source/Scott_Travis).<ref name=":0">{{Cite AV media notes |id=HR-60994-2 |title=Let It Scream |year=1991 |type=liner notes |publisher=[Hollywood Records](/source/Hollywood_Records)}}</ref>
