Overkill

"Motörhead's landmark second album, Overkill, marked a major leap forward for the band, and it remains one of their all-time best, without question. In fact, some fans consider it their single best, topping even Ace of Spaces ... The band's classic lineup - Lemmy (bass and vocals), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), and "Philthy Animal" Taylor (drums) - is well in place here, and they seem eager to rip loose wildly on every single song. This, in addition to the solid track listing and Miller's production, makes Overkill a perfect Motörhead album. Several great ones would follow, of course, but Overkill was the first of the great ones, and quite possibly the greatest of all".

"Bomber has always suffered in comparison—but not for lack of material. The title track, "Dead Men Tell No Tales", "Poison", and "Sweet Revenge" are as good as any songs in the Motörhead canon. The performances, however, are a little off—or at least, less intense than the previous album, rendering very good an album that could have been great".
