If you only got one Motorhead CD, make it this one.......2007-06-07

This is the best quality Motorhead CD I have heard, and it is in my opinion better than the Overkill CD (supposed to be the best they did).

The Ace of Spades album rocks, and if you dont like this one, you will not likely like Moterhead. This album also is one of the series that Eddie Clark plays on. To me, he was the driving sound of Motorhead, and when they were a classic trio, he was the guitar player.

You cant go wrong with this one!

Cult classic that should be as big as .......2007-01-22

Motorhead share many qualities with another tried and true rowdy bunch of rockers, AC/DC. Unlike their Aussie counterparts, Motorhead never had the U.S. breakthrough that catapulted AC/DC into the mega-legends they are. Perhaps it's because Motorhead is still as caustic, bombastic and offensive as ever, meaning their signature album, "Ace Of Spades" is just too abrasive for radio, along with everything else they've ever done.
This, of course, is an injustice. The classic line-up of Lemmy Kilmister, Fast Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor created several albums of such intensity and power that even after the inception of outfits like Exodus, Metallica, Sepultura and other heavyweights, Motorhead still sound heavy, loud and rude. No passage of time has been able to corrode or modify their attack. For that alone, they belong in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.
"Ace Of Spades" is the high point of Motorhead. Producer Vic Maile gave this album a sound that throws you back against the wall and pins you there until the CD is finally over. The best part is, you want to stay trapped. Far better musicians than they ever wanted you to know they are, this album is full of hooks within the barrage, and Clarke's bluesy riffs and leads add style and form to the music, which allows it to not just run over your head over and over, but to actually swing a little, "Fast And Loose" being a good example.
"Bite The Bullet" is punk fast, and funny, too. "Fire, Fire" is as hot as the title and "The Hammer" leaves you in no doubt that what Lemmy says he'll do, he'll do it. No tough guy in lipstick and drag whipped posing for this guy. The three extras aren't quite as up to par as the original album, with the band ahem, joining Girlschool for a three song set that rock, but are timid compared to the rest of "Ace Of Spades".
Strong proof that loving your music and believing in it shows, as this and many other Motorhead gems are easily available, thanks to their loyal followers. Unlike some reviews that claim Motorhead won't attract new listeners, I disagree. This outfit is better known than ever, and my own nephews a generation behind me have begun to get into rock's gnarliest outfit.

Ace of Spades: Punk Rock Perfected.......2006-12-27

This album started a metal revolution (NWOBHM). Brutally fast, classic rock solos, intricate drumming, and Lemmy. Was there ever a doubt?

In my opinion, Motorhead also created the greatest punk rock albums ever: Ace of Spades (1980) and its LIVE counterpart, No Sleep Til Hammersmith (1981).

The energy of this album is hard to describe. It makes me feel so powerful when I listen to it. It is like listening to a symphony of machine guns, jet engines, rockets, and bombs. Cool!

But, Motorhead is more than a punk band. This album is the punkiest of the lot, at least of the classic studio albums. The other albums that I list below have different styles, and the are all excellent albums. Lemmy is also a talented artist, (OK, "artist" sounds lame, but you understand me). The albums I list below demonstrate genius, but you'll have to judge for yourself.

If you trust my opinion, and I have really given you little reason to, you will pick up these Motorhead albums below. But, sometimes you gotta take a risk ....Whudda you got to lose. It's Motorhead Dude!

1. Overkill (1979)(A Perfect Album. No, It really is. 'Nough said.)
2. Ace of Spades (1980)(Punk rock Perfected)
3. No Sleep Til Hammersmith (1981)(Punk rock perfected more...Brutal)
4. Another Perfect Day (1983)(A whole 'nother level man. My personal Fav.)
5. Orgasmatron (1986)(Militant Evil Genius Incarnate , ...don't ask ...)

If you like Ace, then it is mandatory for you to get No Sleep. If you don't it's like buying half-a-slice of Pizza. No one would or should do that. They go together like ham and eggs. Get em' both today.

Oh My God! This is going to get me soMe.........2006-11-25

Lemmy..One of the nicest guys there is..Certainly doesn't allow a weakness to pervade this hard hitting chainsaw eating desperado of a musical extravaganza! The Bass and vocals coulD be mixed better on the first (Best! Motorhead!)couple of songs. OVerkill remedies this by having the powerful songs of this album and the polish of the Orgasmatron album. I feel like a biker who geTs a lot of lovin when i listen to Motorhead. Beer pours out of the speakers along with hot lookin groupies..Orgasmatron may be a hell of an album, but if you put on Ace of Spades and set your cd player to Pop, and have the Mega BAss function on, you do well to get it the way it should be. Lemmy wrote a column for young girls in Jane magazine. What a sweetheart. He's also nice to the guy from the Cornerstone magaziNe who interviews rockn rollers tryin to get them to convert to Jesus. LemMy always gives him an interview he told me, but he says "Your not going to convert me today" to him, which is more (Kudos tOIron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickenson for preserving Motorhead titles oN his "Sanctuary" records label..) than a lot of people (the guy from Cornerstone told me..Not LemMy..Never met him..Encouraged to tell the stories of famous people I met though..through Steven Lee Beeber who just e-mailed me..CoOl..Hi..) give him. "The Ace of Spades" ..Does everyone know that song?

Motorhead releases their classic for the ages.......2006-02-03

Ace Of Spades (1980.) The fourth Motorhead studio album.

INTRODUCTION:
By 1980, Motorhead had been together rocking out for nearly half a decade. In the short time, they had recorded three albums - all of which were excellent. However, despite their growing reputation, the band still hadn't made that worldwide impact that would immortalize them in the hearts of headbangers everywhere. But, in 1980, that release finally came. When Ace Of Spades arrived, the world was taken by storm. It was the finest heavy metal record many a hard rock fan had ever heard! With the title track and a plethora of other, lesser hits, the album immortalized the band practically overnight. Read on, and see if the album is as good as everyone says!

OVERVIEW:
Motorhead released their fourth album, Ace Of Spades, on November 8, 1980. Vic Maile served as producer for the album sessions. The band consisted of the classic lineup of Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister on bass and vocals, "Fast" Eddie Clarke on vocals, and "Philthy Animal" Phil Taylor on drums. Album tracklist consists of Ace Of Spades, Love Me Like A Reptile, Shoot You In The Back, Live To Win, Fast And Loose, (We Are) The Road Crue, Fire Fire, Jailbait, Dance, Bite The Bullet., The Chase Is Better Than The Catch, and The Hammer.

REVIEW:
Whenever Motorhead comes up, this is the album that comes up. Plain and simple. Motorhead made their classic for the ages here, and it isn't hard to see why so many fans of the band, casual and die-hard alike, deem this the band's finest hour. It's tough to pick a favorite Motorhead album since all of them rule in their own way, but this is pure heavy metal excellence. From start to finish, the band rocks out the way heavy metal was meant to be heard. And, more importantly, the album deserves all of the credit it gets! Lets take a look at the tracks that comprise this classic album.

-SIDE A-

-Ace Of Spades: This song really requires no summary or comments from me. It's Motorhead's biggest hit, and the one song everyone knows by the band. It's also quite possibly their finest hour. With a hard and heavy fast-paced sound and memorable lyrics from start to finish, it is easy to see how this song gained its lofty reputation. THIS is the way to start an album! A classic for the ages, for all the right reasons.

-Love Me Like A Reptile: Here's another hard and heavy rocker done the Motorhead way. The song became a fairly big hit for the band, albeit not nearly as big as the classic title track. Still, the song rocks hard all the way through and never lets up. The band is in their prime all the way through, making for another memorable rocker you can't help but love.

-Shoot You In The Back: With the album's cover art, it's only natural they'd do a song with a western theme to it. Sure enough, they did. It's another hard and heavy rocker, done the vintage Motorhead way. Clarke's riffs in this song are amazing, as usual. The band rarely fails to please and this is no exception to that age-old rule.

-Live To Win: Fast and heavy are the two things Motorhead does best, and there are many showcases of this. Here we have another example of that rule. The whole band rocks hard once again - Kilmister's bass playing is particularly excellent here - it's a shame it usually gets overlooked in favor of his vocals! Another excellent song.

-Fast And Loose: Quite honestly, this song's title describes the song itself perfectly. The band does another fast-paced rocker, but they just kick back, rocking hard and having a good time. The end result is another classic Motorhead rocker. Once again, the band succeeds on all fronts.

-(We Are) The Road Crew: Here's one of those songs that became a minor hit for the group. It never gained any major fame, but it holds a special place in the heart of many a Motorhead fan. The lyrics, rather obviously, follow the exploits of a band's road crew. The song was likely a dedication to the group's roadies. Great song.

-SIDE B-

-Fire Fire: This is a catchy rocker, and there's no denying it. Despite its relatively unknown reputation, the song is an awesome, fast-paced rocker with plenty of catchy hooks - both vocal-wise and melody-wise. If the song had been released as a single, I'll bet it would have sold extremely well. It's another solid addition to the Motorhead catalogue.

-Jailbait: Many of the songs on this album became minor hits - songs that are Motorhead fan favorites, but relatively unknown to the mostly casual fans. This is one of those songs. Rocking out hard and fast is Motorhead's specialty, and they spare no expense and letting fans know it once again.

-Dance: Motorhead is one of the few bands that managed to create songs that were fast and heavy, but at the same time, extremely catchy. This is one of those songs. With catchy melodies and vocals alike, the whole band succeeds on every way once again, making another excellent composition.

-Bite The Bullet: It's a known fact that the harder and heavier a Motorhead song is, the more the fans love it. Sure enough, this is one of those songs that proves that point once more. Clarke's guitar playing is excellent as usual, not failing to please the listeners. There are many awesome tracks on here - this is one of the many.

-The Chase Is Better Than The Catch: The minor hits on this album were plentiful in number - this is one of the many. Kilmister's lyrics are always excellent and fun to listen to - both what he sings, and how he sings it. This time around, it's not much different. One of the many reasons many a Motorhead fan calls this album the band's finest hour.

-The Hammer: Closing out the album for the band is one of the hardest and heaviest compositions present. A band should always finish off an album with a song that will leave a lasting impression on the listener - and sure enough, they manage to do that here. Motorhead's most popular album ends with a bang - and sure enough, it's one the listener will remember.

OVERALL:
There you have it - Motorhead's classic for the ages. This is the album everyone remembers the classic heavy metal trio for, and it isn't hard at all to see why after giving the album a listen. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the trio or just a casual one, this album is an essential purchase. Don't hesitate to add this one to your collection. If you're a fan of heavy metal, you will not be disappointed with this album. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

EDITION NOTES:
Many of Motorhead's albums were recently remastered and reissued, with an entire second disc's worth of bonus material! These are now the definitive editions of the albums available on CD. If you plan on buying Motorhead's albums, make sure you get the versions with two CDs! Any fan is sure to get a kick out of the non-album bonus tracks, which include B-Sides, live tracks, and previously unreleased studio sessions/alternate takes etc. Definitely get these versions! You won't regret doing so.

They're still going, of course, having earned a similar place in the affections of the British public to that of the Queen Mother. Ace of Spades is the reason for Motörhead's high standing. Or, to be precise, the title track of this album is the reason. "Ace of Spades," along with Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," is the definitive heavy-metal biker anthem, and Lemmy's midsong bellow of "And that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever" is declaration of intent that has rung down the ages. That Lemmy has since given every appearance of obstinate immortality does not detract from it in the slightest. --Andrew Mueller

The ultimate Motorhead album?.......2005-07-25

Ace Of Spades (1980.) Motorhead's fourth album.

Motorhead formed in the middle of the seventies, shortly after Lemmy Kilmister was fired from Hawkwind following his being arrested. The new group he formed with "Fast" Eddie Clarke and "Philthy" Phil Taylor was almost instantaneously one of the ultimate hard rock/heavy metal groups around. Although the band's debut was a raw, punky-styled hard rock album, the subsequent follow-ups, Overkill and Bomber, saw the band find their sound practically overnight. What would result following these three albums was Ace Of Spades, the band's fourth album, released in 1980. In this year, the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) was in its prime. Would Motorhead's contribution to the genre be one of their better or weaker efforts? Are fans who call this album the best Motorhead album correct? Read on, and you shall see.

People who call this the ultimate Motorhead album aren't kidding. Essentially, everything the band did on the previous two albums comes together nicely here, and depicts the band in a prime they had never reached before and would never reach again. I don't know if I'd call this my personal favorite Motorhead album (with these guys it's so hard to pick a favorite 'cause they're all so good), but if nothing else, this one is tied for being the best with some others. Many Motorhead classic came from this album, the biggest and most obvious of which being the title track. This was the biggest hit of Motorhead's entire career, and is essentially their defining moment. Most people know and recognize the band for this song, and rightfully so. That's not the only big hit the album spawned, either. You've got plenty of other classics present here, including classic cuts like Love Me Like A Reptile, Shoot You In The Back, and The Chase Is Better Than The Catch. There are also a number of non-hits that give even the hits a run for their money in terms of overall musical quality. Lemmy serves up some of his finest vocals and bass riffs, Eddie plays the guitar with the best of 'em, and Phil's drumming is nothing short of excellent. In other words, the whole band is in their prime. If you only get one Motorhead album, Ace Of Spades is the obvious choice.

Motorhead's albums (most of them, anyway) were reissued and rereleased with remastered sound, expanded liner notes, and even rare bonus tracks! As far as bonus tracks go on the Ace Of Spades reissue, you get the awesome classic hard rock of Dirty Love, which was the B-Side to the Ace Of Spades single. I can't believe this song didn't make it onto the album! The other two bonus tracks are collaborations with Girlschool, an all-female NWOBHM band from the same era. These tracks are tough to come by, and it's great to finally have them readily available on CD in America. THIS is the way you're supposed to do remasters - other record companies could take a hint from this example (I'm looking at YOU, Mercury and Atlantic!)

Ace Of Spades is a classic metal masterpiece. 1980 is the year that saw the release of a number of five-star NWOBHM masterpieces, and truly, Ace Of Spades is among them. Lemmy Kilmister and the boys are all musical geniuses, and no album demonstrates that as well as this one does. If you only get one Motorhead album, this is the one you should buy, no questions asked. Highly recommended. Five stars.

The only card I need is the ACE OF SPADES!!!!!!!.......2005-07-07

This is without a doubt Motorhead's highest point. Every track is just is just a pure headbanging. Needless to say that the title-track is one of rock'n'roll's loudest, most essential anthems. And what is to be said about the closing track: "THE HAMMER"? YEAH! BELIEVE ME THE HAMMER'S GONNA MAKE YOU DIE... ouch!
FIRE! FIRE! A record for you and your mates to pogo to... It's MAGIC!!!!!!

Ace of Spades.......2004-03-17

Possibly the greatest heavy metal album ever recorded. This album set the bar very high for all other bands. This album builds on the first three ( Motorhead, Overkill and Bomber). Lots of great catchy riffs, and some pretty cool lyrics as well. You can't say that Lemmy is the next Tolstoy, but his lyrics are plain and simple. This was my first Motorhead album and they became my band. The extra tracks are great for the compleatists out there who may not have picked them up the first time around on vinyl. It's nice that they kept the original ( from the pounding "Ace of Spades" right thru to "The Hammer") order of songs from the European release instead of the mixed up North American. It's a shame that this would be the next to last studio album for this lineup ( Lemmy, Fast Eddie and Philthy ) which in my opinion was the best, of the many different incarnations with Lemmy always leading the way. If you get any heavy metal album start with this you won't be disappointed!!!

No pussies allowed...........2001-08-28

Anybody who doesn't like this should be whipped & beaten with iron bars and bike chains. Over twenty years now and it ain't dated at all. I like ALL the tunes including the three bonus ones they added to the CD. My personal faves; "Dance" and "(We Are) The Road Crew". 'Limp Bizcut' and those phony 'Rage Against the Machine' posers NOT allowed... Lemmy rules, man...

CLASSIC BEYOND AGES.......2001-07-17

Enough can't be said about this 1980 release by Motorhead. taking rock to the extreme, they defined a new style of aggressive metal. It's astonishing from track one ttil the end !!. Lemmy, Fast Eddie and Taylor work close to perfection. It's amazing, a clear evolution since their last effort, BOMBER.

Ace of Spades remains the ultimate Motorhead anthem, a brainstorming demonstration of power and aggression. And the album was no less ferocious, stripping the trio's hard rock down to its essentials.

Motorhead's three best at one low price.......2005-05-20

Overkill (1979.) Motorhead's second album.
Bomber (1979.) Motorhead's third album.
Ace Of Spades (1980.) Motorhead's fourth album.

Motorhead is, without question, one of the finest heavy metal bands of all time. Lemmy Kilmister truly is one of metal's musical geniuses. And never was Motorhead a finer group than when it had featured its classic formation of Phil Taylor on drums and Eddie Clark on guitars. During this time, the band released several albums, the best of which being the ones that the band released at the turn of the decade from the seventies to the eighties. And now the three albums from that era have been united in a box set! Read on for my review.

Essentially, this set takes Motorhead's three best albums, and gives you the three of them at one low price. The three albums you get are Overkill, Bomber, and Ace Of Spades. Overkill, the band's 1979 sophomore album, was their first true triumph as a band. The first album was good but raw and unfocused, and this album essentially set the standard and general sound for Motorhead releases to come. It's not surprising many people revere this as their favorite release from the band. The second album the box features is their third album, Bomber - also their second to be released in 1979. This one was not nearly as popular as the one that preceeded it or followed it, but is certainly no less excellent - it might just be my favorite of the bunch! On this album the band branched out and experimented with different hard rock/metal sounds, and the end result was another solid release - one that should NOT be so underrated! The final album in the collection is 1980's Ace Of Spades. This is the one of the bunch that would go onto become the band's most popular due to the successes of the smash hit title track. It's probably the Motorhead album that most people call their favorite one of all. Essentially, it epitomizes everything Motorhead stood for in their classic age. Oh, and did I forget to mention that the versions of the albums in this set are the remastered ones with bonus tracks? That means you get great non-album songs like their cover of Louie Louie and awesome non-LP B-Sides like Dirty Love. And there you have it - three great remastered albums, one low price.

Sadly, this set is a great deal but is NOT readily available in most stores! This pisses me off, because it's a great deal for three metal masterpieces. Before you even think of buying these albums individually, try to find this box - you'll save money getting it, and you'll certainly get more bang for your buck.

Motorhead is a damn good band, and it's not often a deal this good comes along. Lemmy Kilmister and the boys never sounded as good as they would on these three albums again, so if you want to hear the band at their all-time high, you've come to the right place. This set gets my highest recommendation - five stars all the way.

Hell's yeah. What a great idea- Put out Motorhead's three best records as one. Sold.

Album Description

2 CD set. The first disc features Ace Of Spades, an album that would shift the gears into overdrive, smashing through said rock and securing Motorhead at the top of the Heavy Metal heap. The title track would become the anthem for not only the generation lucky enough to be around upon the singles release but also for countless heavy rockers to follow. Reaching number 15 in the singles chart, the album faired much better reaching number 4 in the UK charts. Ace Of Spades became an instant classic, ably reinforced with a fully loaded bullet belt of charged and volatile rockin' slugs in the shape of tracks like 'Love Me Like A Reptile', 'Shoot You In The Back', 'Live To Win' and 'The Hammer', all of which helped this album to gold status which was later commemorated with a replica gold vinyl release. The second disc features single b-sides, alternative versions, outtakes, rarities, BBC Session and In-Concert material as well as live tracks. Sanctuary. 2005.
