Motörhead followed up their best album in years, 1996’s Overnight Sensation, with one of their most forgettable. Recorded in a rush, it features songs that sound like rewrites of material from 1995’s Sacrifice (itself not the greatest album in the band’s catalog), half-hearted attempts to cross the usual Motörhead sound with blues and country, and only one genuinely good song — the album opener, “Love For Sale.”

Of the other tracks, “Take The Blame” is notable for featuring organ (a first, and maybe an only, for the band); “Desperate For You” is one of their fastest songs; and “Dead And Gone” is a ballad that’s not as bad as some others they’d squeeze onto subsequent albums. Ultimately, though, Snake Bite Love is probably the most skippable modern Motörhead album.
