 Motorhead - 'Bomber' (Metal-Is) 4 1/2 stars June 22, 2005
Mike Reed (USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Originally released in 1979,'Bomber' was Lemmy and crew's second album.Basically another top-of-the-heap serving of British metal-punk(as some might call it).Heck,I'll always refer to it as heavy metal.No matter what you tag it as,it's prime Motorhead;ALL the freakin' way,mate!Key tracks include "Dead Men Tell No Tales","Sharpshooter"(perhaps,a love song?),my favorite "Stone Deaf Forever",the title cut "Bomber" and "Leaving Here".This reissue tags on five(5)beloved bonus songs to lure us to purchase a copy.Pretty sneaky,eh?Recommended.
 it's not the fastest m'head album, but it's the catchiest October 21, 2004

this album by no means has the speed of "overkill" or "ace of spades" but "bomber" has the grooviest, hook laden motorhead songs ever devised, just listen to "sharp shooter" or "lawman" to see what i mean, motorheads best songwritting is on hear.
this album prooves speed isn't everything, even for a band like motorhead, don't get me wrong, there are a couple fast ones but this album isn't based on speed like "overkill" or "ace of spades" was, its more about songwritting and cathy riffs. this is by far motorheads best album, this is the only thing from them i need, and i consider myself a fan too. lemmy fr***ing rocks on this "like a sniper, i got my sights on you!, windsheild wiper, nothing spoiling my view!" where else can you hear something like that now? even on a m'head record, gotta love that now. this album just has a different feel to it then any thing they have done before or after this, this came out in late 79, why doesn't this album get attention like ace or overkill do? my final verdict is that while "bomber" might not be as fast as "overkill" "ace of spades" or "iron fist" it makes up for it whith some of the best motorhead songs ever written like "all the aces" and "stone dead forever" amoung others, lemmy is a true lawman, rock on!
Bomber is no bomb August 17, 2007

There's no such thing as a bad Motorhead album. The original line up with fast Eddie and Philthy is impossible to beat in the heavy metal realm. Bomber is my least favorite of the Eddie/Phil classic era, but it's still a freakin' fantastic record. I like Ace of Spades, Over Kill, and Iron Fist better, but this is also a must have for Motor heads.

Too many fillers November 5, 2005

This is a very similar album to Iron Fist, in the sense that it too was the follow-up of an absolute classic Motorhead album (Overkill cq Ace of Spades), in the sense that it too was thrown on the market too hastily and in the sense that it too contains too many fillers to be a really strong album. Sad but true, it was this sloppiness in putting out records that explains to a large degree why Motorhead never became as big as Maiden or Priest.
This said, three of the best Motortunes ever are on this CD. The live sensation Bomber, the awesome Stone Dead Forever (in my top-5 of all-time best Motorhead songs), and the slow paced, chilling Lawman should feature in every metal / punk / rock enthousiast's iPod collection. Enough reasons to buy the CD? Sure, but not before you've bought Overkill, Ace of Spades, Another Perfect Day, Inferno, On Parole and Orgasmatron.
Classic motorhead indeed! August 29, 2002

Don't let yourself be guided by someone that says "bomber could have carried with the motorhead tradition ", the album simply does not have to carry any tradition because along with "motorhead","overkill","ace of spades" & "iron fist" the TRADITION WAS CREATED!, the album was originally released between "overkill" & "ace of spades" so it is the official 3rd mayor release for the motorhead boys, and it is simply excellent crafted, it has a variety in the aspect that there are some slower songs, but if you think it well, "motorhead"(their first album) has more slower songs; Some people has no respect for the elders, maybe they have heard the latest albums of this band and think that band always sounded the same even when they were in the 70's(the sound of the music is heavier now, but excellent as ever with a classic rocknroll feeling). For you music intellectuals, THERE IS NOT any band of the 80's famous heavy metal genre, even the first bands playing black metal, thrash metal, etc. that has not been influenced by motorhead, black sabbath, iron maiden, judas priest, deep purple, pink floyd, and others that made history and now are the granddaddy of them, but people cannot see it because they were born when everything was already invented!.
