Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love (13 tracks) +Album Reviews

A must have for Motley Crue fans

06/08/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've always thought this was a great Crue album, but the addition of the extra tracks on the re-mastered version make it essential for Motley Crue fans. The album is fun because it's sleazy, raw and not nearly as polished as the other later albums that they made with the help of record label producers. The extra tracks are great and fit in perfectly with the rest of the album since they all have that early Motely sound. "Toast of the Town" and "Stick to Your Guns" are from their original demo single and they are real rockers. Even if you already have "Too Fast For Love" on cd, it is worth getting this remastered version for the extra songs!"

This album kick started an entire genre of music

"Anyone who is remotely into 80s metal or the glam scene has to own this classic. this album literally started it all folks. The sex, drug, rock n roll attitude that carried into the 80s all began here. Every song is catchy and no filler is heard on this disc. Also the only crue cd that actually sounds a litte different from the rest. This one has a very raw, simplistic, catchy, and almost punkish feel to it. The final song on the disc actual sounds like The Ramones could have wrote it. Keep in mind this is their debut and is not as heavy or in your face as the albums that followed but is probably more consistent then anything else in their catalogue. I recommend this album and Shout at the Devil as the primary Crue albums of the 80s. After that commerical tendencies and drugs seem to kick in a little too hard. overall, this is mandatory for hardcore Crue fans and 80s metal fans in general. When all was said and done, only a few bands from this genre mattered, Motley Crue was certainly one of them."

Too bad for love

"Before Motley signed with a major label, they recorded an amazing album called Too fast for love.Yes this one!Only the record company made them re-record the whole thing and it just doesn't work.Maybe it's because I am so used to the original version of the album that I am so disappointed in this one but really they should have stick to the REAL too fast for love.
On this cd the mix is pityful, poor, the band doesn't have half the energy they had on the previous one.
What a shame...the songs on too fast are some of the greatest CRUE compositions:Live Wire, Too FASt, On with the show...An explosion of glam/punk/metal!
At least on this specific release, they had the descency to put the entire album-Stick to your guns appearing here as a bonus was originally the single to be but was cut from the re-recorded LP.
It still is a great album but I will never understand why they needed to re-record it."

PURE PUNK-CRUE!!!

"When Motley Crue was recording this album I bet they didn't know what they were doing and what they were doing was a classic rock album that usually you don't on any band (not even punk bands). The high-point on the album is Mick Mars on the guitar. A lot of people spend most of their life getting this crunchy sound and they can't get it. Steve Vai can be a "virtuoso" on the guitar and Joe Satriani can show us all the scales in the world, but the sound on the guitar of this record is like a drill directly to your brain.I have bought this album like 3 or 4 times (I used it so many times that end up like an old pair of sneakers) and if I need to buy it one more time I'll buy it again as many times as I need to get this songs. I mean, living a life and don't hear LIVE WIRE, TOO FAST FOR LOVE, PUBLIC ENEMY #1, MERRY GO ROUND, ON WITH THE SHOW and the rest of the songs it's NO living at all. Do you travel a lot on your car??? Get this one. Not ONE song is bad."

WHAT ROCK AND ROLL IS ALL ABOUT

"Simply put, this is a phenomenal rock and roll album. Not being the biggest Crue fan personally, I think I can say that if the only Crue album you own is this one, you're all set. Every song on this album, every song, is a masterwork. The guitars are meaty and bold, unlike therack-mounted sound of their subsequent records. I hate to say this, but Tommy Lee is the man on this record, he is a monster. And this album officially has, in my book, the best use of a cowbell in a drumset since Mountain's "Mississippi Queen". Really.Not a weak tune on the CD, and since they kept it short, it's all over too quickly. After the final blast of "Too Fast For Love" and the hanky-jerker ballad "On With the Show", you are left wanting more! And more you now get - the bonus tracks on this record are indispensable. "Tonight" is tight and rocking, yet gorgeously catchy. "Toast of the Town" is almost better than anything on the real album, a terrific song with a real rhythm kick in the pants and actual dynamics! That's the thing about the CRue on this record, every song has extreme dynamics, but in a Zep way, not the subsequent 90's-style "now I throw a tantrum" kind of loud-soft dynamic.In short, definitely a must-have record, if you like rock and roll"
