In early 1975, Lemmy Kilmister was fired from his band "Hawkwind". He decided to take his revenge on his former band mates and start a new band, originally called "Bastards". "Hawkwinds" manager, Doug Smith, advised Lemmy to change the name. The last song Lemmy ever wrote for "Hawkwind" was called "Motorhead". The rest is history?

With no need for any caveats, Bastards is the definitive Motörhead album. Twelve tracks of the finest rock 'n' roll the legendary group had to offer, the only question you must ask yourself is, why did you not listen to this album sooner?

To say this album has weak moments is to complain that a piece of gold isn't as shiny as it could be. No element of the album can be pulled apart and held up as the weak part even when held under the microscope that is repeated listening. The only negative comments that can be attached to this album are related to the bad handling this album endured upon its release; all but lost in between the sea change that was the early 90s and label issues, Bastards had an anchor chained to it that more than likely kept you from hearing it until after you decided to delve into the band further.

I Am The Sword is easily one of Motorhead's best riffs.

One of their heaviest and most speedy albums, the sound quality is amazing! I would definitely say this was a return to their best form, after a slightly disappointing previous effort. So many great tracks on gere that it's hard to pick a favourite, but my top one's would be "Burner", "I Am the Sword", and "Lost in the Ozone". And I find "Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me" such a difficult song to listen to, it's such a raw, emotional, and hard hitting song.
