 	I'd say that there's two or three really good tracks on most to 
all of the Motorhead albums post-, well, _Orgasmatron_? There are one or 
two stand-outs with more--for me _Sacrifice_ is almost all excellent--but 
there's something worth hearing on all of them and usually two or three 
somethings. (Except maybe on _Inferno_ and _Snake Bite Love_, but I guess 
everyone has their favourites and not-so-favourites.) By some reckonings, 
that's not much of a hit rate, but it beats many another artist's 
especially after so long... Yours,
 				   Jon
