I’ll admit it. I rarely buy compilation albums these days. With the ability to sample songs from a variety of internet resources, the compilation album is something of a dinosaur. However, there are times when I’m hurting for some fresh music to listen to, and that’s when albums like No Remorse come in handy.

Looking at the track list, it is a fairly balanced album that does justice in representing their discography up to that time. Songs from all of their previous studio albums are represented in some form, some live tracks also make the grade, and a few items from EP’s and singles also show up. Unfortunately, I have the 22-song single CD version released on Roadrunner Records, so their covers of “Louie, Louie”, and “Leaving Here” are not included.

To make a compilation album worthwhile to the consumer, it’s always nice when something fresh in thrown into the mix. No Remorse features four songs to introduce fans to their latest (1984) lineup, “Killed By Death”, “Snaggletooth”, “Steal Your Face”, and “Locomotive”. All four songs live up to the Motorhead brand of rock and roll / punk / speed metal but still brings a fresh sound to their proven formula.

I don’t think I can describe any compilation album as being “essential” as it doesn’t really compare to the enjoyment I get from exploring a band’s studio albums individually. Compilation albums are usually supposed to bring together the band’s best moments or at least a variety to show people a nice sample of the bands material. In that regard, No Remorse does well. In my mind, you can’t do much more for a compilation package. A great blend of Motorhead!
