Too Fast For Love

by Steve HueyOn their debut album, M?tley Crüe essentially comes across as a bash-'em-out bar band, making up in enthusiasm what they lack in technical skill. Yet that's part of the appeal of Too Fast for Love, a chance to hear the band without the glossy production of their later, most popular work, showcasing their down-and-dirty roots. The fact that pop-metal songwriting was not really a consideration helps the album come off as more genuinely trashy and sleazy, celebrating its own grime with exuberant zest. This is the Crüe playing it lean and mean, effortlessly capturing the tough swagger that often came off a bit more calculated in later years, and it's one of their most invigorating records. [In 1999, the Crüe remastered and reissued Too Fast for Love on their own Motley/Beyond label with four bonus tracks: three interesting previously unreleased songs and a version of the title track with a different intro.] 

看封面莫名想起滚石粘手指的封面

封面致敬了滚石的Sticky Fingers，音乐上更接近传统的金属乐，是美国人对英伦金属浪潮的反应，但美国人的娱乐精神已经得到了体现，流金风格已经逐渐成型。

这张专辑的吉他音色的失真感还可以，在当时惊艳了不少听众。可事实上mick mars是在一个狭小空间内只用一个小马勺连一把大G弹出来的，没有用任何效果器

克鲁在1981年的成功也是在美国金属乐战胜朋克乐走向大众的标志。 1980、81年的时候美国还没有多少人玩儿金属，直到Mötley Crüe出现

首砖是真的棒，既有金属味也有朋克味，而且要速度有live wire这样的快歌，要节奏有merry go round这样的偏硬核朋克的曲风，咋就想不通为毛后面开始转型了？

最终版选定的封面是致敬滚石的这个，不过其实这砖有4个封面。顺便想说，这时候vince还是最帅的，过几年就成nikki了[大哭]
