Ace of Spades

The title track is a good listen, but wouldn't go out of my way to put the album on. Also some questionable lyrics (Jailbait).

Meh

12 versions of Ace of Spades.

Have definitely heard of Motorhead, but don't know the music very well. "Ace of Spades" I remember for the vocals, which sound a bit whiny. That carries for the album, it's like hard rock with a vocalist straining to prevent himself from crying, kind of a strange effect. It's not a bad album, but there's not much here that was memorable, and amid all the other classic rock bands out there, I just don't think this brings much to the table. Maybe they've got better albums out there, but this one's more like a three of diamonds. Favorite tracks: Ace of Spades, Fast and Loose. Album art: Really like this one, these guys look absolutely insane. Goth cowboys. Color contrast is excellent, stances are proud. Iconic looks all around. 2.5/5

Not a massive fan of the sound but I didn't think it was awful. 2/5

Lol, that front cover encapsulates hard rock. Three British guys cosplaying as leather-clad gothic cowboys and managing to look serious about it. The sound is slightly better than I remember. It has more of the stripped-back energy of punk than most heavy metal records. However, it does get a bit samey even in 36 minutes. The songs are mostly mindless crap about getting drunk and having sex. "Jailbait" is particularly repulsive ("you're jailbait. I just can't wait"). I'm not even morally objecting - it's more that I just want to vomit at the thought of Lemmy having sex with an underage girl and writing this song after. 2*

The metal band loved by punks. Their most famous album named after their most famous track which Lemmy hated. It fast, heavy and a bit repetitive. Not for me.

The only cool thing about this band is that it is better that suicidal hippie folk rock

Every song sounded the same and then within each song it was a lot of repetition. I didn’t mind listening to it necessarily but don’t need to ever listen to it again.

Wanted to like it because THPS "Ace of Spades", but this just felt repetitive and noise.

Ik vind de pukkel van Lemmy gedenkwaardiger dan deze plaat.

Good music but lyrics kinda didn’t matter

It’s fine, and if it was on in a store I’d be neutral about it, I just can’t bring myself to care about Motörhead. Listening to this album is a boy task. Every song sounds the same.

Mmm, not bad. Just not my style. I enjoyed Ace of Spades, but beyond that I felt it was a lot of the same thing.

A precursor to mental in England British band Didn’t save any songs from this Album

Jel to sve jedna pjesma ili? Nije moja šalica čaja ali nije ni skroz neslusljivo. Al su zato tekstovi iznenadujuce losi

a ne znam, Lemmyev glas je tipa Thompsonovog onog kad oponašaš: "Zmija me za srce ugrizla" samo je ovdje učestalo. ima čak nekih dobrih instrumentala, ali to je kao i ac/dc sindrom - znate već. ovaj cover je isto mislim u Kapeli ufotkan, al ovo je Zdravko fotko - uglavnom sad na mjestu gdje će navjerojatnije biti reciklažno dvorište, gdje je prije bila pilana, e u tom dvorištu - na šljunku gdje sam se polomio još malo. bilo je dost' visoko, ngl. šljunak 3/5, fotka 4/5 samo zato što je domaće, a album 2/5 - i dost.

Peaked kad je Dave Grohl mu došo odsvirat ace of spades na bubnjevima, that's all.

His warty face though.

The Ace Of Spades sets the tone and boy does this album never shift out of that gear. Jailbait is a rather unfortunate song. This album is peak 80s mysogeny, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. (We Are) The Road Crew is a nice send up for the tough life of a stage crew.

All of the songs sounded exactly like Ace of Spades to me

Very samey but solid.

4/10. Maybe it's just that I pre-judge any album with a song called "Jailbait" on it going in, but I didn't think this was that good.

My first introduction to this was on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. It didn't get annoying listening to it constantly while I perfected a 50/50 grind around a cast of boiling steel. So... This is just boring dumb rock to me, though. So I don't really care. And since this list is already disproportionately filled with upset whiteys, I'm gonna penalize the 'head. Not 1/5 though, because these guys can clearly J-A-M.

This album started off super strong, exciting, energy that was a great indicator of things to come. The title track had a great riff, things were looking good - great, even. Next song, similar riff, but that is okay because this band clearly deserves the continued listen, surely there is more in this tank. On and on that goes, while the Law of Diminishing Returns rears its I-told-you-so head. A view at their play count confirms it: the first song is absolutely amazing, but everything after that is basically the same with an ultimately downward trend. The setting likens to back in the old arcade days, no quarters left, but the Motorhead pinball machine's flashy lights and exciting "Ace of Spades" soundbites create that false hope that it can be played as if for the first time, every time. Truth is, on the next visit to the arcade, quarters at the ready, the pinball machine fires up at the deposit of coin, the world is lit and the moment is all but fleeting. The same lights and brilliant flashes become predictable, as the score gets higher, the same "Ace of Spades" riff echoes, the game gets boring. The last ball is lost, the game is over. After a brief reset, the pinball machine is back to flashy lights, the "Ace of Spades" anthem playing at seemingly triumphant moments of flash. The realization sets in that the flash and music never changed at the deposit of coin, it was the exact same with coin or not. A quarter wasted, yet still the temptation of a good time lingers, perhaps the next time will be different? Truth is, with this album, the differences were seemingly rehashed for every song. Granted, this is the world of modern music, this is exactly what happens, but perhaps Motorhead forgot to be creative?

nah

I don’t get it

Motorhead album, fine thrash music. They are okay.

Pretty loud. A lot of the songs are the same, but not bad. 2/5 Ace of Spades is best song.

:D vittu ebinn kuunnella ace of spadesii täysii sen verran mitä oon joskus kuunnellu motorheadia niin muistan että kaikki biisit kuulosti 99% samalta ku ace of spades. että odotukset ei ole korkeella. aika hyvin vastas kyllä odotuksia, mutta toisaalta hyvää tasasta tykittelyä. voisin kuunnella uudestaan töidenteon ohella ainakin semi-ironisesti.

Crankin first song. Does get a bit the same as the album goes on but can't fault the enthusiasm.

The title track is of course fire (shoutout Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3) but the rest is kind of meh. Not that it's terrible, it just falls into that Kiss territory of cheesy hair metal. And I refused to listen to anything past a song called "Jailbait."

Jah, rock og rul. Man skulle nok have været der, i tiden, for at kunne opleve hvor stort det var. Nu er det bare endnu et rock album. Men fint og små-kedeligt.

Heavy metal, højt, nogle ok numre, ellers lidt tungt

Speed, heavy rock n roll. Sorry to say it is a bit samey. Still legendary band.

It gets a little samey, but the guitar work is pretty good. Too bad I can't really stand Lemmy's voice, and the lyrics are.. something.

Shouty

The album got off to a cracking start. How could you go past the classic Ace Of Spades? As it progressed it kept those hard nosed guitars and drums but the content of the lyrics progressively got more and more rapey. Culminating in both Jailbait and The Chase is Better Than The Catch. I wanted to enjoy the entire album but I really couldn't, it makes sense as to why the only released single from the album was the Ace of Spades. This album would've had a much higher rating from me only if the lyrical content was not so rapey. Best: Ace of Spades Worst: Jailbait; The Chase is Better than the Catch

Talented, hard-rocking stuff... but not for me. I don't listen to this kind of stuff enough to get the nuances, if their are any. To me, it sounds like the whole thing is played at one volume and at one level of anger.

Early metal, not really my thing though the first song isn't bad. By far the most popular song on the album. All else sounds pretty much the same. 5/10.

It’s fine…not particularly my thing.

First metal record on the list. Vocals were not as indiscernible as I would expect from stereotypical death metal, for example. Still pretty mediocre with the exception of the good guitar riffs. // Favs: Live To Win Score: Decent to Strong 2

Terrible. Didn't even finish listening. There's even a song about pedophilia. Terrible.

nicht so mein Fall

Really Hard for a Monday Morn. Solid beats, but I just couldn't get into it. I will shelf this one for later. Update: Not my genre, baby, but I get the appeal and I like it...just not that much.

Eh

Hmm. Not bad old rock, just, not for me.

Lemmy knew it when he sang “it’s all the same to me” - after the title track it was hard to tell the rest apart.

Never really been a fan of these. It was ok, samey samey though

this is not good for my head today

Better in short bursts

Giving 2 stars due to ace of spades but the rest is shite. Take speed, play fast,talk pish. You'd think it'd work but it's boring as fuck. P

I swear I have listened to this album already on here. It’s hard rock. Idk. Ace of Spades etc.

false

Music was ok but every single song sounded like ace of spades... Listened to 60% ish

Pretty good, but songs other than Ace of Spades kind of blur together and a song named "Jailbait' isn't cool.

Not my bad. Sure this is iconic, but just a bit 'much'. Can you ever imagine just popping this on in the background? Or having it on whilst you drive? What I mean this is quite limited music

A little heavy for my taste but not hard to listen to

Meh. All the songs sound the same

Meh

It’s lusting and shouting and creepy. And not finding yourself punk kind of anger but simply mad and reactive. Too close to home after the recent riots.

I had only heard "Ace of Spades" the song from the album, maybe one other. This would be perfect music for a dive-bar, like North Star or something. Beyond that, all the songs basically are the same tempo, same drum pattern, same style. There is something to that, but it doesn't do much for me just listening intently. As a live show, I could see the appeal. Some of the song titles/themes are gross.

fine. didn't seem that speedy for speed metal

energetic! a bit repetitive.

Every song is the same

2.5

Yuk

It’s so fixing good, but then they start singing about having intimate relations with underage girls. Uhhh

This could have been an email. But then, it probably would have been flagged as spam. Seriously though, everything worth hearing was covered in the title track. An entire album of this was redundant.

I was so bored with this. This all sounded the same to me.

EXTREMELY UNHAPPY THAT I HAD TO LISTEN TO THIS. WAS WORKING HAPPILY UNTIL JAILBAIT CAME ON. GROSS! GROSS! GROSS! GROSS!

A worrying number of albums on this list include songs about girls under the age of consent, sung by middle aged men. What's up with that? Even putting that disturbing aspect aside, all tracks blended into one, and I tuned out for most of it. Unimpressed.

jailbait.... this is god awful music. first album i regret listening to, wish i could give it a negative rating

generic speedy metal. No thanks.

nah

What did I do to deserve this? Albums like these make me question the validity of this list , i'll just move on, hope for the best and pray that theres no more Motorhead albums.

So bad. I mean ‘Jailbait’…. WTF

hated every second of it

This is my eighth album. It’s the fourth rock album I’ve had. Make it stop. All the songs sounded the same and followed the same formula: aggressive guitar, jarring vocals, loud drums. It just isn't for me. Not one bit. My mum ripped ass whilst I was listening to this. It sounded more pleasant than this godforsaken album. If hell was actually a real place and I ended up down there (for whatever reason) playing this album on repeat would be an effective method of eternal torture. No amount of tolerance training would ever prepare for hearing this over and over and over again. The lyrics were straight ass and the songs were straight nose pollution. ESPECIALLY the lyrics on ‘Jailbait’, that song alone would've given this album 0 out of 5. Unfortunately, that isn't an option, so 1 out of 5 was my only choice. I didn't even want to listen to it after seeing the title, but I remained out of an unwilling curiosity to see if it would be as bad as I thought. I stopped listening after that song, I didn't need to OR want to hear any more. Actual dogshit.

Definitely up there in the hall of most pedophilic records of all time

55

Motoheads clap back album to Houmous and Chutneys ‘4 of Diamonds’1.4 1/12 Ace of Spades

Fuck these assholes

Ace of SHIT!

Could not finish. Boring dad rock, every song sounds the same, the vocals are a whole struggle bus. Not for me.

no es mi estilo para nada

every song is about convincing a woman to sleep with him, even underage girls! how pleasant and enjoyable <3 :)

No thanks. These guys have a sound, and they execute that sound well-enough. But every song sounds the same — there’s no imagination in the delivery, particularly of the lyrics. A 1.

Loud, boring and repetitive. It started out a 3 for the big riffs and metal energy, then became a 2 due to the singer’s voice and weak lyrics, and finally a 1 by 3/4 through when it became clear that every song sounded exactly the same, which had worn out its welcome long before. Add the badly-aged “Jailbait” to the list of grievances here.

yeah they got a song called jailbait…

the problem with a one note album is that when you don't like that one note...

Nah.

1.5

I would have disliked this in 1980 and I still do. The only thing going for it is that Lemmy's voice wasn't nearly as bad as I'd imagined. In fact, he sang just like he spoke. Unfortunately it was used to sing ridiculous lyrics and the music sounded like generic hard rock This could be any hard rock band from the 70's/80's era. The riffs were indistinguishable to any other crap I heard on the radio at the time. I can usually understand why an album makes this list, whether I agree or not. But this was just boring and nothing new. Even in 1980.

i think the metal umlaut is goofy as hell tbh. most mainstream commercial rock from this period sounds very formulaic to me, and it's not a bad sound, but it gets a bit boring after a while.

I was just waiting for this to end the whole time. Love Me Like a Reptile was a particularly wtf moment. I was just thinking the lead singer sounds incredibly old when the song Jailbait came on. Lovely.

Not a fan of heavy metal…

Awful, I hate this band

No mg mucho, hard rock viejo, como kiss pero un poquito mas duro

Not my type

Lacks imagination

violets are blue roses are red i really don’t like motörhead The voice is hoarse the rhythm coarse from this picture alone i can tell these men probably smell i hate their hair i hate the vibe one star from me that’s it, good night

uh oh. i know ace of spades (song), the instrumental is really good. i hate this guy’s voice. oh god there’s a song called jailbait on here 😭😭 i might hate this. shoot you in the back immediately made me angry. on live to win. the bass tone on this album is cool. i wish i liked.. any of this. this sucks so bad. fire fire. ugggggghhhhhhhh 🫩 i’m on jailbait… i already hated this what are we DOING HERE MAN 😭😭 THEY JUST FUCKING REUSED THE ACE OF SPADES RIFF AS A BASS LINE. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. the chase is better than the catch… this was dreadful. 1

36 minutes of screaming hell. If you are looking for music that leaves you tense, angry & anxious, this is your album. I am obviously not a heavy metal fan.

Bacons

This album was a 2 until I got to the song "Jailbait."

I don't think it's great; it's the kind of rock and roll that got very dated. But, at least it's honest; it sets out to do something and does that well, even though I don't found particularly good.

yawn

Ace of spades is prima. Maar als je vervolgens 15 keer hetzelfde nummer maakt met dezelfde powerriffs waarvan er één gaat over seks met een tiener dan haak ik af. Hardrock/metal is niet mijn genre, toegegeven, maar er moet toch wel beter zijn dan dit. 2/10

I was on board until he genuinely started singing about being sexually attracted to a child. this was never ok. DNF

Hm naja. Is ok 1-2

I feel like part of the aesthetic of this album is that the music sounds crappy and janky and also slightly inebriated. If that appeals to you im sure this would be a great listen, I was not a fan.

One decent song, one noncing anthem and all the others sound exactly the same

All fine and straight ahead but 'jailbeat' is a dealbreaker holy shit

★½

I’m not a metal girl

this is giving me a headache… the longest 36 mins ever? 🌑

funny this album has so many alt versions bc every song sounds the same.. it's the same bad song, 27 times. with a sprinkle of pedophilia bc what is rock and roll without predators

This was a solid 2 star album until the pedophile song

I thought I was about 4 tracks in when I looked and realized I was only halfway through song 2. This wears on me.

paso

This album does fall into the category of 'classic album' for some people, and I certainly remember it's popularity when growing up. It just sounds like a noise to me, and it's not even a pleasant noise. Repetitive riffs and sound. Juvenile lyrics. In case you missed it: Teenage baby, you're a sweet young thing Still tied to Mummy's apron strings I don't even dare to ask your age It's enough to know you're here backstage Tell me baby, oh you look so fine Send quivers up and down my spine I don't care about our different ages I'm an open book with well-thumbed pages Jailbait I ain't too late Jailbait baby, get down Right now GROSS

Boomers singing about how much they want to sexually assault girls {AGAIN!!}. Fucking gross and tired of this shit.

This is not starting well. Haven't even started listening yet but was reading through the reviews and most seem to say that the title track is way better than anything else on this album and I have really hated that song ever since I first heard it so that's not a great start. The reviews were wrong. Ace of Spades is not better than the other tracks, they are all the same f*cking song. So I now thoroughly hate all the tracks on this album.

Man, Jailbait is such an offensively horrible song that it immediately gives the album 1 star for me. The guitar work is absolutely phenomenal, though.

Full on fast heavy metal with horrific lyrics sung by a a screaming toad. Songs like Jailbait leave one wondering...

I got to Jailbait and just... Oh no.

No.

I don’t have the energy to describe how much I didn’t enjoy listening to this album.

All I really knew about Motorhead before this was the song Ace of Spades. Turns out every other song is just a crappier version of Ace of Spades as written and performed by sex offenders.

Stopped listening after Jailbait.

Gross. I can sorta excuse the Beatles for singing about dancing with a 17 year old because they keep it "innocent", with lines about falling in love but nothing "suggestive". Jailbait is a song celebrating sex crime. To call it satire would be willful ignorance. Fuck Motorhead.

While listening to fast and loose I thought the song was on min 6+ at one point. Turns out the song is only 3 minutes long. That sums up this album, far worse than the ZZ Top album. I mean this band is just gross, the chase is better than the catch is so hard to listen to. I don't think it's cool to have to tell a woman to not be scared when you're fooling around, seems like a red flag, not sure why it's a point of pride for this dude. It's tough to pick whether this is worse than Eminem but they're in the same ballpark 1/5

it sounds like i'm riding with a biker gang and about to fuck a twink in a gas station bathroom. that or it sounds like I'm in a twink gang and am currently fucking a biker in a gas station bathroom. Surprisingly i mean both as a compliment. There is however a song on this called fucking jailbait and... ewwww grossss bleh bad bad. It makes the whole vibe go from trashy fun to something really gross. Like a started writing the first part to be funny but now it feels weird. It's a nauseating song. HE LITERALLY SAYS "LOVE THAT YOUNG STUFF" WTF. singlehandedly killed the album for me. fucking disgusting.

Bad. Ace of spade is there only good song.

Too much

not my cup of tea, epic album cover tho!

I think my friend billy likes this album so I have to not like it just to annoy him

Terrible

jailbait.....

54/1001 - Somehow makes the blues even more repetitive and grating than it already was.

Apparently I’m a Motörhead hater, who would’ve guessed. All the songs sound exactly the same to me and I don’t particularly care for the heavy guitar or raspy vocals. Did not fuck with

*No music on this album, plenty of noise and screaming.

Lemmy was the quintessential hard rocker. Quite the character. An institution. I knew that much before listening to this. Now I also know that I do not care one little bit for the music his band made. And there's "Jailbait", a song that really hasn't aged at all well thanks to its topic of "better not ask her age" girls being backstage.

I wasn't looking forward to hearing this album because of their 'apparent' reputation etc, but after the first track I thought it was ok, and then was disappointed by the rest of the album which all sounded the same alongside lots of shouting down the microphone - not for me

Growly nonsense

Dude this is 1 song repeated for an entire album. And it's only a mediocre song to start with. Man. I could've done fine without this one.

This kind of music only makes sense to me if I'm playing Tony Hawks. Otherwise I feel like I'm wasting my time with something that is designed to appeal to someone very different from me.

Ears are bleeding sins are pleading this is not for me STOP is my plea

I couldn't listen until the end. At the beginning I thought I've already listened to it? But no, it was their other album 'No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith' which sounds exactly, and I mean exactly, the same. '(We are) The Roadcrew' was okay.

Jailbait was the nail in the coffin.

eh, turned off by weirdness

Musically, there are definitely good to very good passages in various songs. I definitely can't come to terms with the screaming chanting.

These songs all sound interchangeable to me, and it's all unpleasant.

Öne out of Fĩve

I was going to be more generous because the title track is such a banger, but every song sounds the same. And boy, is it diminishing returns. I've had a bad case of the blues for the past couple of months and haven't had the energy to write longer comments, but I had to come out of hibernation to justify what a slog I thought this was.

cannot fucking stand Lemmy's god awful voice and while I don't think lyrical content exactly constitutes a moral affront or anything, Jailbait (among others) does make me personally feel very skeeved out (which could possibly be forgivable if it was a banger (it isn't))

How does Motörhead have two on this list?! Speed metal just feels like it stimulates the evil in people, which is such a huge turnoff. Really wanted to be done after Hammersmith. Although I will say I was tickled to learn that they're all from the UK and Lemmy is from Staffordshire! Stop. Metal. No. Don't. Go. Away.

Schrott.

aldrei aftur

Es klingt alles sehr ähnlich. Nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber auch nicht, was ich persönlich als gut bezeichnen würde. Jailbait allerdings: einfach nein.

Not for me

Butt rock. More like ass rock. Obnoxious.

Oof All sounds the same Lyrics trash Voice annoying Album cover is crazy bad Would’ve gotten a 2 if not for jailbait

Liked it at first, but it's literally the same song on repeat for 40 minutes. When I started listening I read the lyrics of Jailbait and lold out loud, but by the time I reached that song I was already fed up, so won't praise it even ironically

The same chords over and over and over.

Not for me.

A Motörhead once but my sister.

Not a fan of metal

Loud

Unlistenable.

Nicht meine Musik..

I don't think I'll ever get Motorhead. Some of the riffs are okay, but Lemmy is a terrible singer and the lyrics are somehow worse. Glad they were an inspiration to other musicians, but this is a hard pass from me

Typically if I vote something 1 star, it's just simply because it's not for me. This is just straight trash. Also, electric eels are not reptiles.

Nah.

There were only two (2) songs about statutory rape on this album, which I suspect is below average for the genre. These guys are apparently only capable of one riff, too. Imagine going through all the work of recording 11 songs but you actually only had one to begin with and just played it 11 times in a row.

Tried in the morning. Tried again in the afternoon. Still a no go.

Nope

All the songs sounded the same!

One of the most annoying voices in 80s rock, music so generic it hurts. What is this doing on a list of albums you MUST hear before you die? Just because Ace of Spades was a big radio hit the whole album is Essential Listening? Come on, man.

Did not like at all. Noise to me.

Bad. Bad. Awful.

Too heavy and fast for me

Not a metalhead

Not a fan…songs sound alike and Lemmie’s voice is just not for me.

Title track is fun, of course, but I lost the will to live through the rest of the album.

Low marks for the grossly inappropriate song

Not my cup of tea

1/5 Jailbait is fucking disgusting and I'm giving this a 1/5 even though it's probably closer to a 2.5. Best track: The Ace of Spades

Formulaic hard rock songs. Grew bored after 'Live To Win'. Overall: 2/10

Wow it's like the same song over and over again. I hate it. Was gonna say it doesn't deserve a 1 because it doesn't sound that bad then I saw Jailbait... yikes

Ace of Spades - i know this song (3/5 goes hard for earlier metal) Love Me Like a Reptile - this song is serving. it's so gender (4/5) Shoot You In the Back - it sounds kinda like "Barracuda" to me. (3/5) Live to Win - these so far are just Harley riding songs. (3/5 it's kinda starting to lose me) Fast and Loose - this is what Vargkelethor does when he does metal music jokes. (4/5 this is a longer song so there's more to it) (We Are) The Roadcrew - fun metal guitar solo. (3/5) Fire Fire - okay there's something different. the group chant is a fun flair. (4/5) Jailbait - hm. well it was just dad classic metal. very samey. i dunno.

This is just like exactly what comes to mind when I think about classic 80s hard rock. Long guitar solos, a gruff singer, mostly ridiculous hardcore lyrics. Like Ace of Spades is their most famous song, is probably the best one on the album, and the lyrics are pretty hilarious. I guess I can see what people could like about it, but this isn't for me. Favorite song: Ace of Spades 11/5/23

What even are these lyrics? Lemmy cannot sing at all. Just random thoughts being spewed out every song. Very questionable lyrics, just ridiculous. "Ace of Spades" is the only song worthwhile, the rest are just garbage. I wish I could go lower than 1 star.

not mine

;-; . . . I mean yeah, music is good but the lyrics didn't age well

Scary, not my type of music. Too loud.

Listening to any song on this album is like ordering a Big Mac. I know what to expect, I kind of like it, and I don't need to consume 20 of them in one sitting.

Better than Metallica. Still bad.

Not great, stopped less than half way through, lyrics were elementary and uninspiring. Each song sounded extremely similar and the vocals were horrible.

disgusting start to a morning

Eh, not my style

Ace of Spades is good, but then you have to listen to a very similar version of it 11 more times

This one wasn't for me.

Liked the softer songs

I didn’t know I hated this album until I was forced to listen to it here. Every song sounds the same and the mumbling and 2 riffs per song are so grating.

I don’t recommend this at all. Please take it off your list. There’s some very inappropriate stuff there.

No thank you!

Yeah...no.

I can see the appeal if I had just taken a bunch of speed, but I hadn't, so I just wanted to turn it off and go back to enjoying my day. Knocked a star for Jailbait 🤮

Dreadfully stupid, but it's metal, right, so that's probably seen as a selling point by people who rate this any higher than the bare minimum.

Really

Can’t.

D Ace of Spades - 2. Love Me Like a Reptile - 2. Shoot You in the Back - 2. Live to Win - 2. Fast and Loose - 2. (We Are) The Road Crew - 2. Fire Fire - 1. Jailbait - 1. Dance - 1. Bite the Bullet - 1. The Chase is Better Than The Catch - 1. The Hammer - 1. This was one amorphous blob of screaming and mediocre guitar riffs. There wasn't anything interesting or creative going on.

I never have enjoyed heavy metal

mcm setan

Hate this with a passion. How many variations of the basic ace of spades track can you create into make a crap album.

Got tired of it pretty fast.

Vocals are not good! Music is ok.

I find other metal bands much better like AC/DC.

Jailbait. Ummm no. Gross even in 1980.

Just not a fan of the genre

There’s 37 minutes of my life I won’t get back. I get that they can play instruments but Lemmy’s voice just makes me want to reach for the paracetamol.

First thought....ugh. I simply HATE that umlaut usage. Then the Spotify canvas video was completely distracting on the first song with so much flickering and blinking I had to switch to the desktop app for fear of migraine trigger. While this speed metal flavor of the heavy metal genre is something I absolutely hate, I will say I can appreciate the tightness of the drums with the guitars. But that's all I can say about this. A friend reminded me that this project is called 1001 Albums to Listen to Before you DIE. I'd have been OK not experiencing this....thus 1

not even gorod krovi could save it

Rubbish

Lemmy's voice is rough as smashed concrete. The band are awesome. The lyrics were typical rock fayre until "Jailbait", and now I feel ill. How the fuck did they get away with it? Why hasn't it been deleted? Lemmy would have been 35 when this album came out. Grim.

the cover alone is enough for me to not give this album a chance

I'd rather watch static tv

Gross

Yuck heavy metal

awful

The only sure defense against the members of Motorhead is to push ‘em into a lake. All that leather and chains and boots, they’d sink like a stone. And why the need for defense, you ask? Well, because Motorhead’s after you… and your wife… and your daughter… and pretty much everything that you and I hold near and dear. I think Motorhead’s general philosophy spelled out on the 'Ace of Spades' album may be summed up in this one lyric from ‘Live to Win’: ‘Live it up, it’s their time to fall. Anarchy is coming in if you know we live to win.’ The ‘their’ is us, friends, insofar as we’ve someone to love, or an occupation that produces something beneficial to others, or life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That’s what Motorhead wants to take from us, and not because they want it for themselves. They’re not motivated by covetousness, necessarily, nearly so much as they are by sadism. So when Lemmy sings about the devil, it’s not meant to be symbolic. He’s truly in sync with evil. The final song, ‘The Hammer,’ really fleshes this out: ‘I’m in your life, just might be in your wife. Could be behind your back, I might be on your track. And it might be true, I might be onto you. I’ll scare you half to death, I’ll take away your breath… There ain’t no way, you’ll see another day. I’m shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night. And your eternal tricks begin to make me sick. The only thing I know, is that you’ve gotta go… Believe me, the hammer’s gonna bring you down.’ Oh, I believe you, Lemmy, I really do. And I want no part of it. Thankfully, the music assists in my decision to let Motorhead perform their gig and then move on to another town, far, far away from my wife, and daughter, and home, and job, and the beautiful mountain trails I enjoy hiking in the summer. 1) The production stinks- way too much treble, and no consistent sound from one recording to the next. It’s a bloody mess. 2) Philthy Animal Taylor’s drumming stinks- he’s overly flashy and unable to sustain the beat. 3) Lemmy’s vocals stink- just too painful to listen to for very long. I really can’t put my finger on it either, because I love Tom Wait’s likeable gravelly voice, the soulful roughness of Joe Cocker, folks like that. Part of the issue, I think, is that Lemmy’s singing from his throat, primarily, rather than from his diaphragm. Whatever it is, it’s simply not an enjoyable listening experience. And, Motorhead, FYI, the Vibraslap is best used sparingly. Effective on one song, redundant on two or more. We get it, the whole western theme. You even told us as much on the opening lyric of ‘Shoot You in the Back,’ proclaiming, ‘Western movie,’ before then spelling out the whole gunfighter motif in the rest of the song. I’m pretty sure we would have been able to figure that out ourselves before the end of the first verse. It’s been long debated as to whether Motorhead should be properly labeled metal or punk; or, maybe neither. I prefer the latter, because I’m a fan of both punk and metal. It helps me to know that Motorhead is in its own class, or lack of.

Uninspiring noise, all the songs sound the same, pathetic lyrics. A conclusive fail

Noise. Plain and simple. F

I found this tedious!

Wow. I listened to a few songs and am not surprised that they inspired a bunch of bands that I do not like. It's called thrasher metal for a reason, I guess.

Whatever, Motorhead. I never got the draw to you. I feel dirty listening to you.

Dreadful

bruh

blaah

literality you could play any of these songs and I'd say yeah thats motorhead but I could not tell you it was a different song. Might sound better if you're on speed?

dont like metal too much, not any exceptions to that here

Als würdest du im 3. Gang ne Stunde lang 120 fahren! (Frage: wie weit bist du nach einer halben Stunde?) 0.6

Не мой жанр. Не дослушал. 1/5

Just not a motorhead fan!

Not for me

would've been a 3 if not for the pedophilia

Not a fan
