Orgasmatron - Motorhead

Advantages: Classic Motorhead
Disadvantages: If you don't like it loud - leave it alone!

...even further. The next may be what some of you are thinking about thi sreleas - "One More Fucking Time", but I don't think the band would really care. This is a 'Head ballad (yes they do exist), with smoochy lines like "I will plead no contest, If loving you's a crime". Aww. Of course only Lemmy would write a love song with a title like that! "Stagefright/Crash and Burn" returns to more familiar territory, as does "(Wearing Your) Heart On Your Sleeve", another anti-officialdom diatribe. "We Are Motorhead" is basically a reworking of the classic "Motorhead", with new lyrics and the tag-line "We are Motorhead, born to kick your ass". And so say all of us. A remarkably good release this as yet another old favourite staggers into the next century still going strong. PS I found "Orgasmatron 2000" on the net as an MP3. Doesn't sound too... Read review

Advantages: A great window onto an institutional band
Disadvantages: There is some dross amongst all the diamonds

...replaced with 'Fast' Eddie Clarke on guitars and Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor on drums that Motorhead really found their feet and were voted 'best worst band in the World' in 1977 by the NME. This collection was released in 1997 and contains 36 tracks, some fantastic, some not so, which go together to create a perfect window into the life history of one of Britains metal institutions. Track Listing Disc One 1 - Overkill 2 - Stay Clean 3 - No Class 4 - Bomber 5 - All the Aces 6 - Dead Men Tell No Tales 7 - Please don't Touch (as Headgirl) 8 - Ace of Spades 9 - Iron Fist 10 - Don't Need Religion 11 - Another Perfect Day 12 - I got Mine 13 - Shine 14 - Killed by Death 15 - Deaf Forever 16 - Orgasmatron 17 - Rock 'n' Roll 18 - Eat the Rich Disc Two 1 - Dirty Love 2 - We are the Road Crew 3 - Fast & Loose 4 - Shoot You in the Back 5 - Bastard 6...

Advantages: Motorhead, pure classic metal, fun to listen to
Disadvantages: Possibly a bit outdated for today's younger metal fans

...EVERYBODY knows Motorhead. And I mean EVERYBODY. They are THAT big, and they were THAT influential. Lemmy is probably one of the most respected men in rock, and has been for the last thirty years: just as Motorhead have been one of the biggest names in rock for thrity years. So it's fitting then, that a good selection of their back catalogue, be available on one disc. Opening track: "The Ace of Spades". My least favourite Motorhead track due to its being over-played, but by far, their most famous. So it goes without saying that this will be included on any Motorhead compilation. Suh a simple track, but gets such a great response. Sounds as good every time you hear it. Other Motorhead classics included are: "Iron Fist", "I Got Mine", "Overkill", "Bomber" and "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch". They don't make 'em like this anymore... Read review
