************************************************************ As one of the most emblematic albums of the glam metal scene in the 1980s, "Too Fast For Love" by Mötley Crüe sets an audacious tone for the band's discography. Released in 1982, this album marked the beginning of a highly successful career for the Los Angeles-based rockers, and remains a cornerstone of the hard rock and glam metal genres.
From the outset, "Too Fast For Love" is a brash, unapologetic sonic assault that typifies the exuberance and hedonism of the era. The album kicks off with 'Live Wire', a raw and aggressive track that sets the stage with its punchy riffs, tight rhythm section, and Vince Neil's distinctive wailing vocals. This energy is carried through to the title track, 'Too Fast For Love', a catchy anthem that embodies the band's ethos and musical style.
Nikki Sixx's songwriting shines throughout, with lyrics that encapsulate the fast-living, decadent lifestyle that Mötley Crüe would become notorious for. 'Take Me To The Top' and 'Merry-Go-Round' stand as examples of Sixx's ability to tell a story through his lyrics, painting vivid pictures of life on the edge.
Mick Mars’ guitar work on this album is nothing short of remarkable. His heavy, distorted riffs and blistering solos breathe life into tracks like 'Piece of Your Action' and 'Starry Eyes'. Tommy Lee's drumming is equally impressive, with the rhythm section providing a solid backbone to the tracks.
However, the album is not without its flaws. Some of the later tracks lack the cohesion and punch of the earlier ones, giving the impression of being less thought out. The lyrics, while fitting the themes and style of the album, can occasionally come off as cliché and repetitive. Yet, it's these very imperfections that lend the album a certain charm, reflecting the band's raw energy and lack of pretension.
"Too Fast For Love" is an album that encapsulates the spirit of early '80s rock and roll. It's a testament to Mötley Crüe's raw talent and youthful exuberance, capturing a moment in time when the band was on the cusp of becoming one of the biggest acts in rock. The 1982 vinyl pressing, in particular, offers a nostalgic experience, transporting listeners back to the golden era of glam metal. Despite its rough edges, or perhaps because of them, "Too Fast For Love" remains a classic, laying the groundwork for the band's future success and influencing countless bands that followed in their footsteps.IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; all records are graded under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight.
