Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down is a studio album by American singer Dee Snider released on August 22, 2000.

The album contains a number of songs Snider wrote for Twisted Sister, Desperado and Widowmaker, but never recorded.

Speaking of Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down, Snider told the Hartford Courant in 2000: "I was approached by Koch Records.

"[3] Upon its release, Steve Huey of AllMusic described the album as "simple, anthemic '80s pop-metal" and added: "Of course, that was always what Snider did best, and that's why Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down will be a fun listen for anyone who still enjoys vintage Twisted Sister records.

"[1] David Gerard of The Boston Globe wrote: "On Snider's solo outing, he goes beyond the sometimes poppish overtones of his former band, and instead delves into the more aggressive side of metal.
