Reviews

Steve Huey from Allmusic sees the album as the highlight of the band's second creative period, Motörhead recorded a dense, extremely tough album. There is nothing really wrong with it. Jan Jaedike from Rock Hard describes We Are Motörhead as surprising, with a drive and an uncompromising attitude that the band would no longer have expected, the album catapults the band back into the 1980s.
