MOTÖRHEAD 'ACE OF SPADES' LP (Clear w/ Cream & Blue Swirls)

Few metal basslines adrenalize you more than Lemmy’s iconically fuzz-blitzed, two-note intro to the “Ace of Spades.” Motörhead dealt a winning hand across their fourth album, though, with the wall-to-wall banger still squeezing our reptile brains in exquisite fashion.

Splitting the difference between mescaline-chewin’ bar boogies (“Fast & Loose”) and jumped-up, blues-mangled d-beat (“Bite the Bullet”) — and featuring demonically wicked performances from all involved — Motörhead confidently smuggled a dozen aces into these sessions.
