Dec 31, 2018 · Overall, Bastards may be the most underrated Motorhead album ever. In addition to serving as a strong bounce back from the misguided March or Die, the album is just as good as the band’s best-known efforts and set a new standard for everything that followed.
It all depends on how much filler the album has. A 30 minute album can feel like hours if the album has a couple of good tracks and is fattened up with filler. A 90 minute album can feel much shorter if the material is consistently good enough to justify the length.
My only other problem with Bastards is: why is Bad Woman after Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me? Did anyone in Motörhead or at ZYX Music think that was bad song sequencing? Besides that, Bastards is a fantastic album, one of Motörhead's best.
- Quadrophenia (1973) The band are on fire. The ensemble interplay that accompanies Roger Daltrey’s bullish. career-topping vocal performance is only ever stunning.
- Who’s Next (1971) Having ultimately abandoned his long-promised Meher Baba-inspired Lifehouse project, Townshend asset-stripped its constituent parts for Who’s Next, and while it’s tempting to harbour a romantic notion of what could have been, the relative simplicity of a traditional nine-track album setting seems to suit the proposed Lifehouse material perfectly well.
- Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy (1971) A cornerstone of any early seventies record collection, ‘60s hit compilation Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy provided irrefutable proof that throughout the previous decade The Who were not just a singles band but one of the world’s best.
- Tommy (1969) Always more ‘important’ than satisfying, Tommy talks a better game than it delivers. Again produced under enormous pressure, while the band teetered on the brink of onstage auto-destruction hastened bankruptcy (all that smashed gear, much of it hired, racked up king’s ransoms of debt) the creative hothouse of the late sixties demanded back-to-back releases and full-tilt progression as standard.
Oct 20, 2018 · There is nothing better than a consistently good album, so the lack of filler was welcome. This album would he higher if it weren’t for its competition. 6.5/10. Favorite song: The Vengeful One.
- Balls to the Wall (1983) This album is just a massive masterwork of Germanic steel and metal, dark melodies clashing up against darker vibes in the back alleys of some town I really, really want to visit some day.
- Metal Heart (1985) For years, I defended this one over Restless and Wild, the cartoon-blue breakfast-cereal melodies just too pleasing to turn away, and damned if I’m not still going to do it, shooting down any and all accusations of crass commercialism with counterarguments including my frantic ramblings about how this album is actually Accept boiled down to their melodic finest, their most concise exploration of melodic metal to date, as well as the most uplifting one.
- Restless and Wild (1982) A mere year after Breaker comes this proto-thrasher, the band attacking like Motörhead on the classic title track, here on their fourth album finally throwing down the gauntlet, getting to where they’ve been slowly heading to all this time (although it didn’t take that long once they started releasing albums, this being their fourth in four years).
- Breaker (1981) In which our heroes slowly but surely become the Accept we know and love, absurd cover art betraying the killer, steely, German metal enclosed.
