Our Take

Motörhead's The Manticore Tapes is a wild ride through the depths of heavy metal, landing somewhere between chaos and perfection. This compilation album features a collection of rare tracks, live recordings, and alternate versions that showcase the band's raw energy and unapologetic attitude. From the moment the opening track blasts through the speakers, it's clear that Motörhead is not here to play nice. Lemmy's gravelly vocals cut through the distortion like a chainsaw, while the thunderous bass and pounding drums create a wall of sound that is impossible to ignore. Tracks like "Motorhead" and "Overkill" showcase the band's signature sound, with blistering guitar riffs and relentless energy that will have you headbanging until your neck is sore. But it's the deeper cuts, like "Lost Johnny" and "Civil War," that truly showcase the band's versatility and songwriting skills. The live recordings on the album are a real treat, capturing the band at their most ferocious and unbridled. It's impossible not to get swept up in the energy of tracks like "Bomber" and "Ace of Spades," as you can practically feel the sweat and beer flying off the stage. Overall, The Manticore Tapes is a must-listen for any fan of heavy metal or rock'n'roll in general. It's a raw and unfiltered look at one of the most iconic bands in music history, and a reminder that Motörhead will always be the loudest, fastest, and most badass band around. Go crank it up to 11 and let the madness begin.
