In the never-ending battle of Motörhead compilation albums, this one has both its strengths and its weaknesses. Certainly the disc does not hold up to No Remorse, the definitive "best of" collection by the group. That album has this one beat both on the basis of quantity and quality of material. However, there are some unique cuts here that are not included on that collection. The most notable of those are "Go to Hell," "Back to the Funny Farm," and "One Track Mind." Obviously, with a group that has released as much material as Motörhead has, no compilation will please every fan. The complicating factor here is that other than the aforementioned pieces, and one other one, every song here is available on No Remorse. It is fair to say, though, that whereas No Remorse represents the more powerful side of the Motörhead catalog, this one shows a more balanced view, blemishes and all. So, they do both have their strong points. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
