Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by an iconic, distorted bass intro and relentless double-kick drumming, 'Ace of Spades' is the definitive anthem of Mot枚rhead's extensive career. Lemmy Kilmister's gambling-themed lyricism and gravelly vocal delivery effectively bridged the aggression of punk rock with the sheer power of heavy metal.
