2015 edition on black vinyl with printed innersleeve

Motörhead’s landmark second album, Overkill, marked a major leapforward 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. It’s a ferocious album, for sure,perfectly showcasing Motörhead’s trademark style of no holds barredproto-thrash — a kind of punk-inflected heavy metal style that issloppy and raw yet forceful and in your face. Motörhead, the band’sself-titled debut from 1977, had been rush-recorded, and itsstripped-down, super-raw sound wasn’t all that impressive, at leastnot relative to what would follow. Overkill is what followed,recorded in December 1978 and January 1979, and released not longthereafter. The band’s sound is fully formed here, and it totallyexplodes right off the bat on the five-minute title track. A numberof Motörhead standards follow, among them “Stay Clean” and “NoClass.” Produced by Jimmy Miller, who had helmed a number ofclassic Rolling Stones albums (Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed,Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goats Head Soup), Overkillsounds wonderful, especially on the numerous remastered editions ofthis album. 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 onevery single song. This, in addition to the solid track listing andMiller’s production, makes Overkill a perfect Motörhead album.Several great ones would follow, of course, but Overkill was thefirst of the great ones, and quite possibly the greatest ofall.
