{"product_id":"motorhead-overkill-lp","title":"Motorhead - Overkill LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMotörhead's landmark second album, Overkill, marked a major leap forward for the band, and it remains one of their all-time best, without question. In fact, some fans consider it their single best, topping even \u003c\/span\u003eAce of Spaces\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. It's a ferocious album, for sure, perfectly showcasing Motörhead's trademark style of no holds barred proto-thrash -- a kind of punk-inflected heavy metal style that is sloppy and raw yet forceful and in your face. \u003c\/span\u003eMotörhead\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, the band's self-titled debut from 1977, had been rush-recorded, and its stripped-down, super-raw sound wasn't all that impressive, at least not relative to what would follow. Overkill is what followed, recorded in December 1978 and January 1979, and released not long thereafter. The band's sound is fully formed here, and it totally explodes right off the bat on the five-minute title track. A number of Motörhead standards follow, among them \"Stay Clean\" and \"No Class.\" Produced by \u003c\/span\u003eJimmy Miller\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, who had helmed a number of classic \u003c\/span\u003eRolling Stones\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e albums (\u003c\/span\u003eBeggars Banquet\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eLet It Bleed\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eSticky Fingers\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eExile on Main St.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eGoats Head Soup\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e), Overkill sounds wonderful, especially on the numerous remastered editions of this album. The band's classic lineup -- \u003c\/span\u003eLemmy\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (bass and vocals), \u003c\/span\u003e\"Fast\" Eddie Clarke\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (guitar), and \u003c\/span\u003e\"Philthy Animal\" Taylor\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (drums) -- is well in place here, and they seem eager to rip loose wildly on every single song. This, in addition to the solid track listing and \u003c\/span\u003eMiller\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e's production, makes Overkill a perfect Motörhead album. Several great ones would follow, of course, but Overkill was the first of the great ones, and quite possibly the greatest of all. -All Music Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanctuary Records (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67878240813123,"sku":"ssj1793808330555","price":16.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8020\/2819\/files\/motorhead---overkill-lp_1.jpg?v=1793808336","url":"https:\/\/petgates.shop\/products\/motorhead-overkill-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
