Customer Reviews:

Their worst album according to Lemmy - simply not true!.......2003-03-19

"On parole" is Motýrhead's debut album although the record company didn't release it till the band's career took off a couple of years later on. This album is without doubt the most non-Motýrhead sounding, but it's a very good effort. "On parole" includes the classic tunes "Motorhead" and "Iron horse" (a slower but amazing version compared to the faster live versions recorded later). Lemmy & Co also do a great job with the cover "Leaving here". I'd say that the material, which by the way is far more rock than metal, is rather good all the way. But beware - if you love "Sacrifice" this is perhaps not for you.

One of Motorhead's true stand-outs.......2001-10-12

Out of Motorhead's absolutely colossal body of work, this, their first album, is the most unique. Why? Because... it sounds like The Who. I guess back in 1976 they hadn't quite found that hard 'n' heavy and above all LOUD sound that later became their trademark. No, most of the material on On Parole really does sound a lot like the typical British pop/rock of 1965, before the days of heavily overdriven guitars. Light distortion (I could swear the guitarist was playing a Rickenbacher. Maybe he is... I mean, Lemmy always has) and a very simple, dry production mix. It really, really does sound a lot like The Who. The cover of Leaving Here only seals the deal. Not quite as euphoria inducing as their later albums, but still I would think this belongs in any serious Motorhead collection.
