Limited Edition digipak pressing of Lemmy & Co.'s 2006 release featuring a cover of Metallica's 'Whiplash' as a bonus track. What you see is what you get with Motorhead. When what you get is as good as Kiss of Death you will be begging for more. Motorhead has honed their attack to its essential elements. Every ounce of fat has been trimmed away. The band can be accused of repetition. They can also completely destroy everything in sight. The first five tracks on Kiss of Death are so commanding the record could have ended there. (~ SPV)
The North American version of the album contains a bonus re-recording of "Ramones", Motorhead's tribute to their kindred spirits from New York City.
| “ | In the metal community, there are two veteran/legendary bands that, whenever they release a new album, you know pretty much what you're going to get. We're talkin' about AC/DC and Motörhead, of course. While the former band now takes several years between albums, the latter cranks them out on a much more frequent basis, as evidenced by the arrival of 2006's Kiss of Death (which arrived barely over two years since 2004's Inferno). The fact that the hard-living group is still at it is an astonishing feat unto itself, but when you realize they're still keeping pace with the younger acts -- when it comes to touring and recording -- it's even more impressive. As expected, Kiss of Death contains quite a few new numbers that will sound right at home in the set list, nuzzled between "Ace of Spades" and "Overkill", including the album-opening "Sucker", as well as "One Night Stand" and "Christine". And following in the footsteps of the surprise acoustic ditty on their previous album, "Whorehouse Blues", comes another similarly styled track, "God Was Never on Your Side". Yet, overall, there are too many songs that sound like run-of-the-mill modern-day metal (such as "Living in the Past" and "Sword of Glory"), rather than the classic Motörhead sound you'd expect. Still, a mostly good Motörhead album like Kiss of Death easily manages to slay most of the fly-by-night foolers that are currently being showcased on the airwaves. ~ Greg Prato, all music guide | ” |
