Well after the immense ‘Ace of Spades’ album you would have thought the follow up would have been as good if not better but sadly, this, the final album featuring the original line up of Lemmy, ‘Fast’ Eddie and ‘Philthy Animal’ is a big disappointment. Maybe it was due to the falling out between Lemmy and Eddie but whatever the problem was you can hear it in the music. It’s a shame as the album starts off pretty well. The first three tracks are really good. ‘Iron Fist’ is a nice and fast number, ‘heart of Stone’ has that unrelenting rhythm that has become synonymous with Motörhead and ‘I’m The Doctor’ is a typically fun tune. After that it gets a bit wishy-washy with only ‘Sex & Outrage’ and the album closer ‘Bang To Rights’ being in anyway memorable. The other songs are all pretty forgettable. A big shame after the previous album.
