"Let me 1st off say , that how can you go wrong with any of the 1st 5 or 6 motorhead albums ?? Overkill , Bomber , another perfect day etc. stellar , the band has always Delivered great Metal anthems , i also highly state go out & get the new album "Motorizer" ..... now onto these 2 cd re-issues , both these 2009 & the 2006 "Remasters" are just awfull , ton's of high end harsh digital overtones , way overcompressed with sound lacking just trying to get these cd's louder , what a shame .... the band sounds all squished together , there is no longer seperation within the tracks , note to record label , running a cd through some automated laptop program is not a "remaster" the idea is to try & get these to sound better ! .... I am quite mad that i bought 3 of the 2 cd versions & they all are just too harsh when turned up loud , too bad as i love these albums .... if you need your Motorhead fix seek out the single cd versions , most of those have some bonus tracks & have some good low-end & sound halfway decent , Sanctuary records should send me my $$$ back as i will not be listening to these ...... too bad , these albums are amazing & someone dropped the ball ."
