Music reviews of Ace of Spades
Music Review: Cult classic that should be as big as
Rating: 5 Stars
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.
