The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 17 – Inferno (2004)

1. Terminal Show
2. Killers
3. In The Name Of Tragedy
4. Suicide
5. Life’s A Bitch
6. Down On Me
7. In The Black
8. Fight
9. In The Year Of The Wolf
10. Keys To The Kingdom
11. Smiling Like A Killer
12. Whorehouse Blues

This is one of the best Motörhead released as far as I am concerned. Every song is fantastic and I don’t think it puts a foot wrong at all. The first three tunes are particularly awesome, ‘Killers’ being one of my favourite Motörhead songs and it ends with an acoustic blues number which is marvellous. An absolute classic album that I could listen to over and over.

Next Album: KISS OF DEATH

The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 16 – Hammered (2002)

1. Walk A Crooked Mile
2. Down The Line
3. Brave New World
4. Voices From The War
5. Mine All Mine
6. Shut Your Mouth
7. Kill The World
8. Dr. Love
9. No Remorse
10. Red Raw
11. Serial Killer

This is another mixed bag of an album, with some very good songs, such as ‘Brave New World’ and ‘Shut Your Mouth’, some okay ones, such as ‘Walk A Crooked Mile’, ‘Down the Line’ and ‘Dr Love’ and then some stuff that is just a bit ‘meh’. In case you’re wondering, that means you ‘No Remorse’ and ‘Serial Killer’, which is only noteworthy because pro-wrestler Triple H from the WWE provides back up vocals on the latter. There feels to be a more political edge to this album, or at least a rage against the politics of the government (whoever they may be) which is something a bit new but it just doesn’t sit right. Not one of the better albums in their discography although it will always have a special place in my heart as this was the first Motörhead album I ever bought.

Next Album: INFERNO

The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 15 – We Are Motörhead (2000)

1. See Me Burning
2. Slow Dance
3. Stay Out Of Jail
4. God Save The Queen
5. Out To Lunch
6. Wake The Dead
7. One More F*cking Time
8. Stagefright/Crash & Burn
9. (Wearing Your) Heart On Your Sleeve
10. We Are Motorhead

Another top album with some cracking songs on it. In fact I think there is only one song on this entire album that is only ‘OK’ and that is ‘(Wearing Your) Heart On Your Sleeve’. All of the other tracks including the great cover of The Sex Pistol’s ‘God Save The Queen’ and two of my favourites ‘Stay Out Of Jail’ and the awesome ‘We Are Motorhead’ are brilliant to listen to. Even the slower ballad ‘One More F*cking Time’ is terrific. This is now five consecutive albums that have been really good and it’s wonderful to hear.
