After releasing four albums of nearly unmatchable quality, Motorhead did what many others could only dream of: They topped those four albums with one. That album is 'Iron Fist'. Combining the best elements from the past, 'Iron Fist' aims to hit you below the belt and keep on swingin'. It's fast, it's rude, it's Motorhead. It was also here that Lemmy and Eddie teamed up to create a melodic atmosphere on tracks like 'Go to Hell' and 'America', something which had been very rare for them. But just cause it was more melodic doesn't mean it wasn't brash. The title track, 'Speedfreak', and 'I'm the Doctor' are all gritty Hard Rock/Metal classics that will keep your horns in the hair and your head banging. Eddie's solos own this album and will catch your attention almost as fast as Lemmy's thickly distorted bass and throaty vocals. And backed by madman Phil on drums, it all spells success. This is, in my honest opinion, Motorhead's finest work and shouldn't be missed.
