Aftershock

"Is Aftershock the ultimate Motörhead album? Probably not. Ace of Spades is legendary for a reason, and lesser-known efforts from 1986's quirky yet vicious Orgasmatron to 2004's mighty Inferno deserve places near the top of the canon. But taken on its own terms, the LP is deeply satisfying and frequently thrilling. A listener with no prior knowledge of the band—an alien visitor, let's say, or an amnesiac—could hear this and grasp why Motörhead is rightly considered one of hard rock's true titans".

"'Aftershock' is unquestionably Motörhead's finest album with the lineup of Lemmy, Phil Cambell and Mikkey Dee and the best since 1986's 'Orgasmatron.' Lemmy is 67 years old and shows no signs of letting up, especially with younger members behind him. Dee has delivered his best drumming effort since King Diamond's 'Them' and Campbell is reenergized, laying out riff after riff with dominant force. Fans know what to expect from Motörhead and may pass up new offerings from the band in favor of the classics, but don't skip on 'Aftershock' because you might find yourself spinning it more than some of your favorite Motörhead albums".
