    All in, it’s superior stuff, brimming with self-effacement and fun that belies the quality and seriousness from which it’s constructed.

    No one turns a lyrical phrase quite the way Lemmy did, but let’s be honest, he was no singer. And musically, PCATBS pack as much punch as Motörhead and then some. These tracks are full of hard, dirty riffs that squeal and crunch with the most beautiful tone you’ve ever heard.    … Expand
