Motorizer

Lemmy is fantastic ....

I recently saw Motorhead, who were touring to support this album [although, strangely, not playing more than one track from it--do they think we are that conservative--or was Another Perfect Day *that* traumatic?!]. Anyway, this completes a near-perfect trio of releases produced by Cameron Webb, that starts with Inferno and then includes Kiss of Death. It is not as innovative or powerful as Inferno, which is for me simply the best thing they have *ever* done. Ever. But it is a great piece of work. On this theme, let me correct something recently written by Alex Henderson, who offers this: "....the classic Motörhead sound prevails, and forceful, in-your-face tracks such as "Buried Alive," "Runaround Man," "When the Eagle Screams," and "Time Is Right" sound like they could have been recorded 25 years earlier... Motorizer falls short of essential and isn't quite in a class with Motörhead's best late-'70s/early-'80s output, but this album is definitely respectable -- and it is good to see this seminal thrash/speed trio still plugging away after so many years in metal's trenches". While his last comment is clearly correct, the rest is not. The difference between this and 'the old stuff' is threefold--the musicianship is better, the production is better, and the songs themselves are way better. Lemmy's lyrics could be pretty flimsy, but these days they are actually about something and either pretty funny or pretty thought-provoking. That's not always true--English Rose is a re-make of Christine, and that really didn't need re-working. But for the most part, this is an A- album that's streets ahead of most of the stuff in the genre.

No surprises here for long time Motorhead fans, "Motorizer" is yet another slamming bluesy hard as hell rock and roll album for Lemmy Kilmister and his bandmates. Like AC/DC before him, Kilmister has always known his strengths, and consistently delivered pretty much the same type of album from day one, full of bluster and sloppy during the Fast Eddie/Philthy Animal Taylor years, and growing into more musical territory without sacrificing one bite. "Motorizer" is a fine later period Motorhead CD, but then again, they all are. Phil Campbell is the longest serving guitarist in the band and is as beloved as Clarke, maybe more so. Mickey Dee is tight as hell, and it's this lineup that has consistently outrocked everybody. Lemmy's lyrics are more pointed, politically and socially, but like on "English Rose", his love for the ladies is still present, albeit in a tongue in cheek way. Kilmister has long hated religion and closes out with "The Thousand Names of God", further attacking an institution he views as one of the most terrible concepts ever devised. "Motorizer" is a fast paced blistering rocker that Motorheadbangers should have if they don't. The spirit of rock and roll as it was intended lives in Motorhead.

Yep, its the best Motorhead album since the last best Motorhead album!The production, to my ears, sounds more stripped down than the last few records with Lemmy's bass pushed to the fore once again. Hallelujah! Also, the overall sounds is more "punky" than it is "metal". Think OVERKILL era 'Head. In fact, the band even reference the relentless bass damaged groove of "Damage Case" on one track ("Back on the Chain"), and Mickey Dee cops the drum intro from 'White Line Fever' for another . Nice! Cheers to you if you know what I'm talkin' about.I was lucky enough to see 'em at a teeny club in SF on the Ace of Spades tour when I was just 13! And even saw the great Robo lineup, capezios and all. Kind of lost track of 'em in the mostly forgetable late 80's and 90's but am glad to see Lemmy back in such good fighting shape after all these years. Sure makes ME feel young! Cant wait to see the band again for the first time in 25 years...you should all pay homage to the man before its too late (too late). He turns 65 in 2010!!

MOTORHEAD, by far one of my top three favorite bands ever, certainly deliver a great album here... While, in the vein of AC/DC, deliver the similar recipe for success time and time again (you know what you're gonna get), every single one of their albums carries a different vibe... Basically boils down to this: It's not whether or not they're going to Rock you, it's HOW they're gonna rock you... The bands last two albums where great, of course, Inferno being an easy 9/10, and Kiss Of Death was great, but damn that was a HOT record, they really stuck it out front in the production room... This one though, I think it's perfect. I mean, what blows my mind is Lemmy is gonna be like 63 or something... and they keep getting BETTER?!?! Motorhead is by far, along with AC/DC and AEROSMITH, one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands that EVER will be... Any fan, owns this album by now. And I just saw em' in San Diego!! MOTORHEAD Rules, Lemmy is god!!!

My record came in a timely matter the record itself there’s no pops. No reason to complain

Lemmy Kilmister is GOD
