5/5 ·
1967/ 1976
Lemmy, Philty "Animal" Taylor and "Fast" Eddie Clarke... A band named "Motorhead" and an album named "OverKill"! And the story of R'n'R is written with another 24 charat masterpiece! What, then, is an explosive mix of Punk and Hard Rock ... Who cares!

This albun contains: "OverKill", "Stay Clean", "Capricorn", "No Class" and "Metropolis", all Heavy Metal evergreen, characterized, like all the songs on the album, from hypnotic riffs, repeated ad nauseum. The sound is dominated by twins guitar/ bass and by the natural growl of Lemmy's voice. "Animal" Taylor is a great drummer, powerful and very bynamic. So all the songs of "OverKill" are classics. Interesting is also the fact that, if the music is Punk Metal, at the end, the riffs are very technical, fact that is not in association with Punk. As the same time the songs are very engaging. You would like to break out into a frenzied dance that never has to stop. Is this magic that makes winning "Overkill" even more of songs, aged too well.

IMHO this is "OverKill", a great album, an evergreen of R'n'R, a must (and cult) album for every music lover!
