The Top Twenty Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time
Number 20
This is controversial one and one that will probably piss off/confuse some people. Just as Brian Robertson joining Motörhead confused so many back in the day. No one could understand why Robbo was now in the band after the departure of Fast Eddie Clarke. Indeed, Motörhead do have many more classic albums prior to Another Perfect Day in their catalogue but for mine, I loved and love this record.
As torturous as it was for both Lemmy and Phil to work with Robbo, he brought a new level of musicianship to the band. The songs were tamer. More melodic.
Still there was friction from the outset. Whilst Lemmy would appear onstage in his usual leathers and jeans garb, Robbo would antagonise the hell out of Lemmy and the crowd by appearing in satin shorts and the like.
The album was a vast departure for Motörhead at the time, but over the years, many have come back to it and rediscovered the sea of lost gems throughout its grooves.
For mine, it is my ‘go-to’ Motörhead album when I’m in the mood for some Lemmy and co. It is unique in the Motörhead discography. It stands out utterly from all the other Motörhead prior and after its release.
