The fact that they play at a rip snorting speed (ahem) helps that they keep the track’s generally between two to four minutes in length. Love the every day living that those fella’s have to deal with in getting a show from town to town and Lemmy with his lyrics brilliantly captures that vibe. Look at those song titles! Those in itself are bad and one of my all time fav tracks from these guys is the iconic “We Are The Road Crew”. This album is ferocious in its pace as the album clocks in at around 36 minutes. “ You know I’m born to lose, and gambling’s for fools Quick tempo and a full fist to the face as Lemmy sings those iconic lyrics. The 12 tracks lift off right out of the gate as the opener “Ace of Spades” proves. First things first how about that cover? The three Motorheader’s looking like they’re going to hit your town, drink everything in sight and steal your woman before going out the back door. So here we are 41 years later(yikes) and I finally got a copy. Powerful, and up to that point a sound I had not heard. It felt like someone was hitting me over the head at the time with a brick. I bought the classic No Sleep Til Hammersmith back in late 1981 and was taken aback by the sound and fury originating from Lemmy, Phil and Fast Eddie. I will be the first to admit my Motorhead collection is patchy at best. Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” is one of the all time great records which I have always read about but never ever owned until that very day I cracked open that parcel from jolly old England. (The second album will be featured at some point but for now I’m keeping it under wraps) Sometimes the Mailman will drop off something other than bills and just recently that was the case when a package showed up to my door from my very good friend MR.1537, who graciously gifted me with not one, but two great albums.
