The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 20 – The Wörld is Yours (2011)

1. Born To Lose
2. I Know How To Die
3. Get Back In Line
4. Devils In My Head
5. Rock ‘N’ Roll Music
6. Waiting For The Snake
7. Brotherhood Of Man
8. Outlaw
9. I Know What You Need
10. Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye

This is their best album since ‘Inferno’ and another one where I think there is no bad song on it. ‘Born to Lose’ is a great pounding opener and this is followed up by the fast and furious ‘I know how to Die’ along with the heavy rock’n’roll number ‘get Back in Line’. The seventh track, ‘Brotherhood of Man’ is a spiritual sequel to ‘Orgasmatron’ and has a similar feel without just sounding like a copy. The final two songs on the album, ‘I know what you Need’ and ‘Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye’ are superb and leave me, as ever, wanting more. A great, great album. Roll on 2013 for the next studio album.

Next: NO SLEEP ‘TIL HAMMERSMITH (1981)

The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 19 – Motörizer (2008)

1. Runaround Man
2. Teach You How To Sing The Blues
3. When The Eagle Screams
4. Rock Out
5. One Short Life
6. Buried Alive
7. English Rose
8. Back in the Chain
9. Heroes
10. Time Is Right
11. The Thousand Names Of God

This is another pretty strong album which does have a few not particularly great songs (‘One Short Life’ for instance) but this is more than made up by the handful of terrific numbers which include ‘Runaround Man’, the really catchy ‘English Rose’ and the album highlight ‘Rock Out’ which has a real fun vibe about it. A much less heavier sounding album than usual this is still very easy to listen to and a worthy addition to their discography.

The ‘No Sleep Til “No Sleep Til Hammersmith” Project’ Album 18 – Kiss of Death (2006)

1. Sucker
2. One Night Stand
3. Devil I Know
4. Trigger
5. Under The Gun
6. God Was never On Your Side
7. Living In The Past
8. Christine
9. Sword Of Glory
10. Be My Baby
11. Kingdom Of The Worm
12. Going Down

Another pretty decent album which has only one song I’m not a big fan of (‘Kingdom of the Worm’) but otherwise this is a strong collection of songs. The first three kick things off nicely and everything moves along very well including the fun ‘Be My Baby’ and the album closer ‘Going down’ is terrific. A much better album than I remember it.
