- A REMINDER OF BETTER TIMES
This Album was my first glam rock album I bought back in 1984. Never even heard a single song from the album but bought it anyway purely based from all the hype around high school. It was one of the best decisions I've made and had a huge impact on me. Every Album I bought after that was compared to it. When I hear any song from this Album now, a rush of good memories race through my head giving me a good feeling and a sense of pride from knowing, "I could'nt have picked a better time to grow up in Long Beach, CA". This Album was so pure without all the fake synthesizers and such, just four guys with instuments and talent. There were alot of little things going on in this album that alot of people didn't catch, like in "Come on and dance" the cow bells were hit six times in three sets(6-6-6). None of us were into that sort of thing but we thought it was cool how they hid messages in thier songs. In the CD that was released in 99, there are 4 songs that weren't on the original. I must say as much as I love Motley crue, I understand why they were left out. I felt they didn't flow well with the rest of the Album. The "Too fast for love" Alternate intro, lacks feeling. They did a good thing by leaving them out of the original. The timing of this album came at a perfect time, it kick started the rock scene. I've always thought that without this album, I wouldn't have had all the good times back then nor the good memories now.My Thanx to the Crue.

- A must have for Motley Crue fans
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!

I am the biggest Motley Crue fan out there and this should be in the top 5 of hard rock/metal debuts of all time!!!!!!!!!You have classics like Too fast for love,Livewire,and Piece of your action.Also one of the Crue's best ballads in my opinion in On with the show!Sure it is a little raw musically,but that is what makes it a great cd.So get yourself a taste of how the ICONS started the rocknroll wheel rolling,and bang your head all night and day long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Motley Crue Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Take Me To The Top!
the only Crue album that i own and for good reason! on Too Fast For Love, the band sounds raw, crazed, and hungry! in other words...unstoppable! this is a classic album full of hot-blooded songs that rock with more of a trashy glam strut than a heavy metal vibe. owing more to New York Dolls than most of their contemporaries, the songs and the style are all killer. production is really raw and sounds like they might have recorded these in a garage, but that's what i like about it...very young and adolescent sounding. the drumming has some really peculiar production techniques applied to it...(just why is that overdubbed cowbell so loud? haha!), but in the end, the strange production adds a nice touch to it...a unique kind of gonzo charm. i like it. the bonus tracks on here are all pretty good but only their version of "Tonight" (originally peformed by The Rasberries) stands out as something truly special. great cd!

- 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.
