Niewiele piosenek potrafi tak z miejsca uruchomić wyrzut adrenaliny jak otwierający, brudny riff i perkusja "Ace of Spades". Od zera do setki w kilka sekund. Niszczący głośniki riff to nieplanowana siła. No i oczywiście, to numer, który na zawsze zmienił muzykę rockową. Niczym piorun zamknięty w butelce, utwór ten idealnie uchwycił to, co najważniejsze w hard rocku, heavy metalu i punku, wystrzeliwując i pędząc z ogromną prędkością. Nic wcześniej nie brzmiało tak mocno, szybko i przede wszystkim głośno.
