5.0 out of 5 stars "The ace of spades, the ace of spades!", October 5, 2005

This review is from: Ace of Spades (Audio CD)

Motorhead are the founding fathers of speed and thrash metal. Without this band, there would be no Slayer or Sepultura, so you've at least got to give Lemmy and Co. props for being so influential. And "Aces of Spades" is an essential, legendary speed metal classic. It's full of fast, meaty riffs, great solos, toe-tapping drums, and catchy, gruff vocals. Almost every song on here (especially the title track, "Love Me Like a Reptile," and "We Are The Road Crew") is very catchy. And the album opening title track, which has a speedy, groove-y main riff, is world renowned. Other highlights include the wah-wah solo and shout-along refrain on "Fire, Fire," "Jailbait," "Dance" (which has a pair of tasty guitar solos), the X-rated "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch," and the famous, rhythmic, nearly dance-able "Please Don't Touch." All in all, if you're looking for great, groove-y, contagious and exciting speed metal, Motorhead "aces" it. Plus, this disc is dirt cheap, so what more do I have to say to convince you?

4.0 out of 5 stars Goiter rock!, August 21, 2001

If you don't already own this, you should be whipped and humiliated. Every track on here is a classic; these are the tunes you want blaring in your primer gray Camaro while drunkenly speeding off of a cliff. Totally scuzzy, obnoxious, over the top; as perfect as r n'r gets. Listening to Lemmy abuse his Rickenbacker never gets old. Pick this up now or continue to be a poseur.

I think that Heavy Metal magazine said it best:

"Ace of Spades, by Motorhead, is the perfect music to invade Czechoslovakia by."
