The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 14 – Snake Bite Love (1998)

1. Love For Sale
2. Dogs Of War
3. Snake Bite Love
4. Assassin
5. Take The Blame
6. Dead and Gone
7. Night Side
8. Don’t Lie To Me
9. Joy Of Labour
10. Desperate For You
11. Better Off Dead

This is a much stronger album than Overnight Sensation. Even the slower numbers feel just a bit more special than the majority of the tracks on its predecessor. The triumvirate of ‘Love For Sale’, ‘Dogs Of War’ and ‘Snake Bite Love’ kick things off with aplomb and it’s only the song ‘Assassin’ which brings the album down as I just don’t like it. In fact I’d probably say it’s terrible. Wow, never thought I’d ever describe a Motörhead song as terrible but there you go. ‘Dead and Gone’ is a bit of a highlight, starting off quite slow but getting louder and heavier as it goes on, as are the very rock’n’roll influenced ‘Don’t Lie To Me’ and ‘Better off Dead’. All in all a very good album that perhaps I haven’t listened to as much as I should.

Next Album: WE ARE MOTÖRHEAD
