Motörhead - Snake Bite Love (1998)

Lemmy Kilmister, the man basically invented biker-heavy-metal way back in 1975 and he's been playing it ever since. Snake Bite of Love has the sort of Energizer Bunny appeal of later Ramones albums. This cigarette-burned collection of grinding, thudding tunes about sex, booze, dirty women, had long perfected their garage metal sound, and offer another helping with their last 20th century studio release Snake Bite Love… "Assassin" shows off drummer Mikkey Dee's underrated abilities behind the kit, while "Love for Sale", "Dogs of War", and "Don't Lie to Me" also prove to be metallic standouts. Although not quite in the same league as such early career monuments as Overkill or Ace Of Spades, Snake Bite Love shows that Motorhead still has plenty of gas left in its tank.
