So who hasn't got a fitted Topshop/Topman style Motorhead Tee nowadays? Hardly rock n roll to is it? I wonder how many of those guys actually listen to Motorhead? I doubt many which is a real shame because albums like this (Overkill) are a real jem amongst the crap rock that wont stand the test of time. The band are made up of Lemmy (bass and vocals), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), and "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums) .
This is Motörhead's second album and it showed a massive progression for the band. The chnage paid off because fans consider this to be their best album (and they have had tons)-superceding the Ace of Spaces!
Vocals on this album are gruff and heavy and you really can pick Lemmy's voice out from millions of others. Shame that people only seem to know The Ace Of Spades as this band have produced so many other great songs.
In sound the album is fierce and wild (as a rock album should be) and it does show off the bands thrashy style beautifully. There are some clear punk influences to the band and their trashy messy style suggests this heavily at times.
Introducing this album they deliver the epic title track (5mins long) and this really sets the mood boldly for the rest of the album. Each song that follows is just as high energy as the first and the rock in this album never falters.
Definitely a must have album in the collection of any die-hard metal fan (both old and new).
Summary: This album rocks like no other!

I am really sorry if you thought I was revenge rating...I really didnt mean it come across like that. I am a bit new to this site and so far seem to be p*ssing everyone off! It really wasn't my intention and I hope you will accept the apology left on your review (which was really good by the way).
