The Worst Motorhead Album

Overnight Sensation is one of those records where the production is too glossy for the music and it's just kind of a weird match.  Hammered is another one like that.  

Maybe. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly. I bought it as a new release, ditched it awhile later and re-bought it to fill in my discography. I've heard some songs from it in a playlist, but I can't remember the last time I played it front-to-back.

Nearly 4 years later and my stance has not wavered. I still don't care much for Overnight Sensation.

I only own 5 Motorhead albums and I the one I think least of is Kiss Of Death. And even that I can't say it's the worst. It's just the one that doesn't seem to have the kick the others that I own have. I don't mind March Or Die at all.

My Motorhead collection is far from complete, but of the dozen or so of their CDs I do own I'm actually gonna go with Orgasmatron. Aside from the title track the rest of that record is just blah... and at the risk of sounding like S.D. (haha), the production on that album is godawful. Even the "remastered" version that I own sounds like mud.

Since I posted this four years ago I've added considerably to my Motorhead collection (as of this writing, I only need two more studio albums to complete their discography) but I still agree with my 2015 self. Orgasmatron is still "blah."

I was gonna come in to say I loved March or Die, despite everyone not...but it looks like I did that at the time already, so...

This wouldn't have counted in 2015, but I guess now my least favorite is Aftershock, although it's still a great album. But I listen to it probably the least of any of their releases, so if I have to pick one, that's a good enough reason to go on.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like Aftershock came out in 2013, so it woulda counted in 2015. WTF--6 years ago? It feels so recent to me.
