Rating: - A Motörhead classic
It may have divided opinion at the time, but these days most fans seem to agree that this is a great Motörhead album. There will be some who say 'It doesn't sound like Motörhead' -- well, what is a typical Motörhead record? 'Overkill'? 'Orgasmatron'? 'March or Die'? 'Sacrifice'? Their catalogue is a bit more diverse than they're generally given credit for (especially by people who don't really listen to them).
Whatever the problems between Lemmy and Brian Robertson, they seem to have ... Read More
Rating: - Another Perfect Solo!
1983 was quite a bizarre year for two of the giants of hard rock and heavy metal namely Black Sabbath and Motörhead both experiencing very strange line ups in a one album situation what with Gillan joining Sabbath and erstwhile Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian `Robbo' Robertson replacing `Fast' Eddie Clarke.
Musically this album is a departure from the sound of the `Fast' Eddie albums which truth be told had become a little stale by the time of `Iron Fist' which although quite good wasn't up ... Read More
Rating: - Anything but Another Motörhead Album.
It seems 1983 was quite the year of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal one offs what with Gillan in Black Sabbath and of course what we have hear Brian Robertson lending his extraordinary guitar talents to Motörhead. This is something very different from Motörhead it is a departure or sorts from the more straight ahead material of the 'Fast' Eddie Clarke era into a more musical directions, saying that this isn't exactly Coldplay, and Still is loud and fast Rock 'n' Roll.

Prior to this album Motorhead had released four great records on the bounce. I can't think of another band that can match that feat. Unfortunately the band lost Fast Eddie before the recording of this one, and he was replaced by Brian Robertson, which resulted in changes to the tried and tested Motorhead sound. So Another Perfect Day isn't in the same class as Overkill, Bomber and the other two, and if you're going to compare it to those classics then you're only going to be dissapointed. The trick ...

This is the runt of the Motorhead litter, the album that splits the fanbase down the middle and the one album the Motor men recorded with wayward ex Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson following the departure of fan favourite "Fast" Eddie Clarke. Robertson had a bit of a personality clash with band main man Lemmy, so didn`t last long. However, that is ancient history and the only remant of that era is this LP, which should be judged on its own merits. Yes, it`s very different from the direct approach ... Read More
