Album Review

This particular Best of Motörhead release is a double-disc set on the Sanctuary subsidiary Metal-Is, and it's one of the very, very few Motörhead collections that tries to draw material from throughout the band's career. The compilers couldn't secure the rights to everything, and as such, there's nothing here from albums like 1916 or Bastards. But there are tracks from the more recent Overnight Sensation, Snake Bite Love, and We Are Motörhead albums, plus four bonus live tracks dating from various points in the group's career. The result isn't a definitive overview, but it is a pretty decent one, and the sound quality is good too. The best pure, concentrated shot of Motörhead is still No Remorse, focusing exclusively as it does on the band's peak early years, but this Best of Motörhead isn't a bad choice for someone wanting highlights from their later career as well.

Customer Reviews

Almost Motorhead!!!

Awesome collection of songs...Accept for the 2 that aren't done by Motorhead. Way to go!!! Still worth buying! See songs number 18 and 23!!!

All inked somehow....

The two songs that aren't performed by Motörhead are absolutely linked to the band i.e. Motorhead the song was the last song that Lemmy wrote when he was the basist in Hawkwind, and Girlschool both toured with and recorded several songs together with Motörhead in the late 70's and early 80's (e.g. Please Don't Touch, song #4) I saw Motörhead perform live twice back in the early 80's in England, the last time at the Heavy Metal Holocaust at Port Vale Football stadium in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent in 1981, along with Ozzy Osbourne...good memories...

good album

killed by death and ace of spade are pretty good. the raspy voice is awsome, just takes alittle getting used to

Biography

Formed: 1975 in London, England

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Motörhead's overwhelmingly loud and fast style of heavy metal was one of the most groundbreaking styles the genre had to offer in the late '70s. Though the group's leader, Lemmy Kilminster, had his roots in the hard-rocking space rock band Hawkwind, Motörhead didn't bother with his old group's progressive tendencies, choosing to amplify the heavy biker rock elements of Hawkwind with the speed of punk rock. Motörhead wasn't punk rock — they formed before the Sex Pistols and they loved the hell-for-leather...
