Motörhead’s third album starts off with the catchy ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’, which is a much more polished sounding track than the ones on the previous two albums. After that, sadly the album for me goes rapidly downhill from there. None of the songs are particularly memorable with the exception of ‘Stone Dead Forever’ which is pretty good. ‘Step Down’ is worth a mention because it is the only track with Eddie Clarke on lead vocals which gives us a very different sounding song. ‘Talking Head’ I can’t even remember and I only just listened to it. The only real saving grace for this album is the final song, the title song, ‘Bomber’. This is a great song with a fantastic rhytmn that places it alongside Overkill and another tune I will be talking about in the next entry (bet you can’t guess what that is) as pure classic Motörhead tracks. Overall this is a very disappointing album with only a couple of good tunes on it. The rest are better best forgotten in my opinion.
