Motörhead’s eponymous first album is a real Blues/Rock’n’Roll hybrid. There are plenty of guitar solos but despite this overpowering the drums on a couple of tunes the three piece of Lemmy (Bass), ‘Fast’ Eddie Clarke (Guitar) and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor complement one anothers playing. The opening riff to ‘The Watcher’ sounds very similar to ‘Motorhead’ but is a very different song once the lyrics get under way. A very rough and ready album that sounds very unpolished compared with todays recordings but there is something nice about this. Something a bit more ‘real’, maybe less contrived. A lot of the songs are quite long but they all have very good rhythms and are great ‘foot tappers’. My favourite songs on this album are ‘Motorhead’, ‘Lost Johnny’ and ‘Keep us on the Road’.
Next album: OVERKILL
