THE REVIEW
Retracing the history of rock'n'roll, we cannot overlook one of the bands that have marked history for the pure sex, drug, and rock'n'roll.
Mötley Crüe is one of the groups that has most faithfully followed this "main" path, involving the four rockers in legal troubles (Tommy Lee, Vince Neil) and drug abuse (a nearly fatal overdose for Nikki Sixx).
It's a shame that the image a group builds for itself is not enough to consider them historic, although it unfortunately makes them more commercial than other groups. Therefore, I will try in this mini-review to describe only the musical aspect of this CD.
Too Fast For Love (1981) is the debut album for the Crue, who, for their capabilities, create a small masterpiece.
Starting with the captivating "Live Wire" through "Piece Of Your Action" and "Take Me To The Top," the album bursts with energy and power. But even the other tracks like the title track, "Public Enemy #1," "Come On And Dance," and "Merry-Go-Round" do not disappoint in this excellent debut that the Crue will not be able to match again.
The only flaw of the record is the recording quality, which is very rough and approximate.

In their debut album, the Crüe show all their cards: drug addicts, womanizers, alcoholics, and incapable of playing.
The overall effect of this combination of qualities results in a sound that was perfect for the '80s, it’s glam, it’s heavy, it’s metal.

The first track is 'Live Wire,' which immediately kicks off with power and energy bursting from every pore.
Motley Crue make me think of women in bikinis, motorcycles, the sea, beautiful summer evenings, and the great rock and roll they have always exuded.
