Music reviews of Too Fast for LoveMusic Review: A Must for Any Audiophile's collection AND if you want to have something good in your library
Like most Crue fans, I bought this album on vinyl AFTER getting my hands on their sophomore release, "Shout at the Devil". This is back in '83, guys, when all we had was word-of-mouth and Metal Mag's like Hit Parader to educate us. These girls I hung around with at school told me about this album so I bought it and was blown away. I liked it better than SATD, but looking back now, it's almost comparing apples to oranges. Listening to this now, it almost seems like the Crue thought this was going to be their only chance, so why not cram as much quality in as possible- believe it or not, they put more effort into the songwriting and performance on this album than they did on their stage show, outfits, makeup, hair, etc. They were hungry, the music was raw, yet had some polished production in places, and this really shows off the caliber of Sixx's songwriting. Didn't appreciate the nod/homage to the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers 1971 album cover at the time (I was only 13- and it's hard to believe it was only 10 years later), AND only 8 years after the Raspberries released "Tonight"! "Tonight" wasn't on the original vinyl recording unfortunately; I'm sure I would have recognized "E. Carmen" on the credits and then asked my dad, "Isn't that OUR Eric Carmen?" (from Cleveland). I wore out the grooves on this album, and it was an education in supportive/basic drumming AND well-placed flash/flair - Tommy Lee is in my top 5 drum teacher list. Back to the Stones/Raspberries influence -> nice tip of the hat, Crue- letting us know that you weren't delusional megalomaniacs, thinking you invented your style, and blatantly saying, "We are bad boys, raw, and can rock like the Stones, yet we also can write Power Pop tunes like the Raspberries!" My favorites are: "Live Wire", "Come On and Dance", "Public Enemy #1", "Merry-Go-Round", "Piece of Your Action", "Starry Eyes", "Too Fast for Love", and "On with the Show", which is 8/9ths of the original album, and alone is worth the $9.99 sale price on iTunes, and the extra bonus songs are a nice addition, too. Buy it. Learn it. Know it. Live it. (Another reviewer mentioned that hearing these songs brings back pleasant memories from this era. Agreed. I had the privilege to see the Crue during their SATD tour, when they were an opener for Ozzy, then again during Theater of Pain and Girls Girls Girls headlining.) Fantastic Album.
