Motorhead: Ace Of Spades (Bronze)*****
Garry Bushell, Sounds, 25 October 1980
BUZZARDS CIRCLE high above the heads of the three outlaws standing silently waiting far out in the arid badlands of New Mexico. Suddenly, the tranquility is shattered by a deep primal roar as if the earth itself is splitting asunder and spilling the malevolent contents of Hades out into the mortal world.
