5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hard Rock Album Ever, June 17, 2003

This album is unbelievablely good, and if you live outside of Germany, Amazon is the only way you're going to get it.
The best Motorhead album, and probably the best hard rock album I've ever heard. I've had it for a year and I still listen to it all the time.

If you've been to the shows (or have the live album), you've heard some killer songs (On Your Feet or On Your Knees, Burner, Born to Raise Hell, Lost in the Ozone) that you didn't know before. This is where they're hiding, and they're surrounded by some of the best Motorhead songs.

On Your Feet... - uptempo and killer.

Burner - 2:30 of double kick drums and super fast guitar work. Pure energy.

Death or Glory - Just an awesome song. Lyrics are genius, running down major conflicts during all human history.

I am the Sword - Very cool. Makes you want to bust heads.

Born to Raise Hell - THE party anthem. Makes you want to move.

Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me - A little disturbing, but a very good semi-acoustic song.

Bad Woman - Metal-blues at its finest. If there's a Motorhead song to dance to, this is it. Awesome swing feel to it.

Liar - Crushing. Anger given form.

Lost in the Ozone - Another semi-acoustic ballad. 2 in one album! It's powerful. Lemmy may not be the greatest singer, but he shines on this song.

I'm the Man - Very odd song. The lyrics make no sense, but the music is great.

We Bring the Shake - Slightly low key, great for groovin' background music (if you can imagine).

Devils - Can't really describe this song. But it's great rock n' roll and a long, multi-layered, fade out of the chorus at the end is the perfect finisher to the album.

Jumpin' Jack Flash [Bonus] - The classic redone. I would've liked to see more changes to the original [make it faster, heavier], but it's good a good song redone with straight distortion.

Overall, this album rocks my world. A testament to Motorhead's greatness, and also to how underappreciated they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Motorhead, fools!, June 23, 2004

By 

Synjyn Ryner (Pocatello, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

This is the best Motorhead album ever, and that's saying something, because Motorhead has released a lot of great albums. My favorite songs are "Liar," "Devils," and "I am the Sword." The only thing that could have made this album any better is if Bastards contained the version of "Born to Raise Hell" from the Airheads soundtrack (f/ Ice-T & Whitfield Crane of Ugly Kid Joe). This is also my personal favorite Motorhead album cover, even though it is plain old black & white, and kind of dark. You just know when you see the cover art that this album is going to kick your ass. So if you don't have it, and you are any sort of metal fan at all, do yourself a favor and pick it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest Mötorhead Albums, June 25, 2005

By 

Frank 8a "HMetal fan" (MX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bastards (Audio CD)

After Phil and Eddie left the band I wasn't interested of Mötorhead releases, maybe only Orgasmatron is one of their best efforts with different band members, but lately I bought their newest album INFERNO and the sound in the CD is great, so the interest in Mötorhead raise again and I bought BASTARDS and it was a great surprise.
The complete album is a classic, with heavy riffs, great drums and obviously the grrr Lemmy's voice and bass riffs.
This CD is a Mötorhead classic, you can hear it again and again and again, and it is fantastic.
If you are looking for a great heavy metal album (like seasons in the abyss, master of puppets,etc) buy this one and INFERNO too, you won't regret.
