In 1980, when Motorhead, slowly but surely moved to the top of their fame, they have up his sleeve was impenetrable trump ace. Fourth studiynik Lemmy & Co.
has become a real bomb. Soften the sound of the previous work, the group returned to the sound of classic albums Overkill, that is, dirty, very hard and smashing everything in its path guitar squall. The disc is heard in the same breath, and causes an irresistible urge to click on the "Repeat". Engines invented for that drive a whole bunch of excellent songs, each of which is fully capable to charge the student the quanta of positive energy. The Hammer and the Hurricane Fire, Fire dart past the speed of light, leaving behind a whole generation the message of "how to play speed songs." In more or less the average rate some great sounding songs. Such as the vulgar zoological Love Me Like A Reptile, Shaped mockery of the whole atmosphere of the Wild West Shoot You In The Back Road, or a real hymn to the group (We Are) The Roadcrew. Well, a couple of the best and hit the tracks worth mentioning separately.
At the end of the album lurked The Chase Is Bettter Than The Catch, a real nostalgic boogie-rock played well motors in a modern key. This song is absolutely deserved twenty years does not get out of the concert program and always enthusiastically received by the public. Well, what's going on in the hall during the performance, perhaps the most famous work Motors, the title track of this disc, I'd better keep silence. We'll have long to find a song that could be a little bit to compete with energy and speed of this masterpiece. Even the rather unusual text of gambling fell completely out of place. In my opinion, Ace Of Spades is the most brilliant song in the history of the group. Well, the album of the same name I would put just behind Overkill'a. This disc is only slightly outperformed it in terms of unity and coherence of the compositions. But still put a dozen unique, because even in our time with such a disk inside the insane fervor - one, two and a handful. Ideal for a Motorhead album.
