After Eddie Clarke left Lemmy and Phil Taylor recruited Brian ‘Robbo’ Robertson to that band and this album, one that really divided people for years, was the result of that collaboration. It’s a really odd album to talk about as it just doesn’t really sound like a Motörhead album. It’s no where near as ‘heavy’ as the earlier albums and is a lot more melodic than you are used to with this band. Which certainly can be seen as a good thing, they’re trying something different, they are not just trying to churn out that same old stuff over and over again which a lot of bands fall into that terrible trap. There are some good numbers in here too. Despite starting with a really sound like ‘Ace of Spades’ the opener ‘Back At The Funny Farm’ is a good song. Also ‘Dancing On Your Grave’ and ‘Rock It’. One thing that is very noticeable about this album is the sound of the guitars, they are much stronger and more prominent that ever heard on the previous records. Brian Robertson is a terrific guitarist, better than Eddie Clarke and it shows but I still don’t rate this album that highly. It was a very good thing to do, to try something new but I don’t think it quite pulls off what it wanted to do. Still I’d argue it’s a better album than ‘Bomber’ and ‘Iron Fist’.
