Strange this one hasn't been rated yet. I think this is an underrated album. I've always liked it. It's true that not many songs are played live from this album, just Iron Fist occasionally I think. It's not their strongest one, I'll agree to that but it's not bad. I was a bit uncertain what score to give it but ended up with 4. My favorites on this one: Iron Fist, Loser, America and (Don't Need) Religion.  |

I think it's probably their weakest but it has some good tracks. Iron Fist, Heart of Stone, Loser. I think Loser is the best track on it.
I rate it 3. I almost went with 4 because I'd probably rate it at 3 out of 5 but it gets 3 because it is comparitively very weak up against the classic albums.

Think I can go with you on this line of thought guys. Iron Fist, the song, is a classic anyway.

I was just listening to this one. I give it 4. It's a good album, but has a few weak tracks. My favorites are Iron Fist (of course), Loser, Sex and Outrage, America, Speedfreak, and Grind Ya Down.

Quite underrated.
Favourites:
Iron Fist, I'm the doctor, (Don't need) Religion, Go to hell, Remember me I'm gone and I actually like (Don't let 'em) Grind you down as well. Bang to rights is also good sometimes.

If you're found guilty of something "bang to rights" it means you're caught, you're guilty and there's nothing you can do to deny the charge. It's like "you caught me and there's no use me denying I did it"
know what I mean?

I'll give it a 5.
It's got to be hard to follow up on the rock and roll benchmark records that Kilmister/Clarke/Taylor laid down in the 1970's. Plus, as they were getting successful during this period they were touring/drinking/drugging/fucking their asses off, so I cut them some slack just for that.
I think this record gets unfairly criticized. Sure, Eddie's production isn't slick, but my god, this sounds like a punk rock record and it's as fast and dirty as it gets. It couldn't be any other way. This band was dirty and there's no way to hide it! It doesn't get much funnier lyrically than "I'm The Doctor" or much truer than "Grind Ya Down."

Iron Fist is my second Motöhead album, like the way he was executed, very raw, simple and straightforward songs !!! Unfortunately it was the farewell of Fast Eddie!
And I have a question, as I don't know English very well, could never hear what Lemmy says before starting the lyrics of Iron Fist, can anyone help me with this?
Salute for you !!!

Our chance to see the classic line up at the time gone forever... a change of subject I know BUT how didn't the 82 Brazil team win the world cup. Zico,Socrates,Falcao , Cerezo are the ones I can remember.Must be one of the best sides that failed!!! Back on the subject- You are right,its a great album
