Motley Crue was loud, Motley Crue is fun, and they sung about motorcycles, drugs, and sex! They were full of competent musicians that are decent at their respective talent/instrument if not outstanding. Their debut Too Fast For Love was promising and full of energy, but their writing chops were generic at best, and while Mick Mars pumps out some decent riffs and solos, Vince Neil's vocals, while melodic, sound painfully whiny and tears down the potential of some of these tunes (the t/t and "Take Me To The Top"). An inoffensive but unimpressive start to a career that sadly never got much better.

| 1.5 very poor | GamamJ | April 6th 20 |
Weak production, horrible vocals, cheesy lyrics, boeing repetitive riffs and song structures. First track is solid, then it winds down into a total mess.

This is honestly the best Crüe album, nothing beats Livewire. Shout at the devil is good but this is the best

Motley Crue's debut TOO FAST FOR LOVE was a razor sharp collection of infectious pop-metal that hooked me the first time I heard it. Their bubblegum hooks and fashion choices were obviously influenced by 70s glam rock, but their early look seemed as if they were enacting their own version of Rocky Horror Picture Show.rTheir songwriting formula seems fairly simple and obvious after a few songs, but still well crafted with an abrasive metal edge. Highlights for me would include "Live Wire", "Take Me To The Top and the title track. "Merry-Go-Round" has some wonderfully melodic guitar parts, but Vince's repetitive chorus very much weakens what would otherwise have been a standout track. Aside from that one criticism, it's a fairly solid record with few if any dull moments to be found.rThe more common Elektra version of this album was remixed by Roy Thomas Baker and does sound a bit more polished than the original 1981 Leathur records mix, which also includes the song "Stick To Your Guns". But I'd still recommend listening to the original raw mix of the album to glean some insights into the the history of this record. Highly recommended and easily one of my favorite Motley Crue albums. TOO FAST FOR LOVE and SHOUT AT THE DEVIL both possessed a certain edge that was buffed away or glossed over on most of their later records.

Hard rock masterpiece. One of the best debut albums in the rock scene ever made, along with Van Halen's and Guns n Roses's. Raw, pure heavy metal. Favorite songs: Starry eyes, Take me to the top, Piece of your action, Live Wire, Too fast for love and On with the show.

Too Fast for Love contains some of Motley Crue's grittiest songs while being fantastically catchy.

Too Fast For Love is one of two truly great Motley Crue albums. They sound a lot rawer here than on just about anything they'd release afterwards, and the production matches this.

Best. Christmas gift. Ever.
I can't turn this record off!
My favorite songs are "Come On and Dance", "Live Wire", "Too Fast for Love", and "Take Me to
the Top" (gotta love them tempo changes!). The only setback is "Merry-Go-Round", which, in
my opinion is the only "skippable" track.
