 They never stop... August 28, 2008

There's a lot of rock and roll and metal bands out there that have had rather long careers. The Ramones, AC/DC, Metallica, Cheap Trick, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. The list goes on.
As these bands age a few things always happen.
Either they slow down, their music gets softer, their music gets worse, and/or they just don't release as many albums as they did in their earlier days.
Motorhead, however, has fallen prey to NONE of these problems. It seems that no matter how old they get (the collective age of this fine trio as of Motorizers release: 153 years old) Motorhead continues to be the same band we've always loved. They play some very heavy punky bluesy rock, and they play it as fast and loud as always, and they give us a new album at least every three years, if not sooner.
Motorizer, like the 18 studio albums before it, continues this fine tradition, and it does it well. Lemmy's lyrics are still from the gut, the music still hits hard, and the melodies are still tough and surprisingly hooky.
Fans will have plenty to like on this one (lets face it, if you've heard anything this bands done since 1993 you know EXACTLY what this album sounds like), and while (at least to me) its not quite as good as the magnificent "Inferno" or "Kiss Of Death," it IS just as good as anything else they've done since "Ace Of Spades."
And that amazing level of prolific consistency is something truly amazing. We should all be happy that there's a band like Motorhead in the world.
A Great Album By A Legendary Band...........MOTORHEAD! September 5, 2008

Thank you guys, this is the album I was waiting for after "Inferno". Pretty damn solid all the way through. A big improvement from "Kiss of Death". Phil Campbell's guitar sound is thunderous, Lemmy is as usual the voice of rock n' roll, and Mickey Dee as always...a great drummer. It's $^%**&*@ Motorhead!!!!

Motorhead-Motorizer ****1/2
Upon first listen Motorizer feels like just another Motorhead album. Yeah, a great motorhead album, well then again Motorhead never really made a bad album did they? Moving on...
As you give the album time it seems to grow better with each listen. As Lemmy's lyrics become more recognizable to you the songs seem better that usual. Lemmy really stepped up the lyrics for Motorizer; they are both very personal and intelligent. His bass playing is exception as well ('When The Eagle Screams') much better than usual. Philip Campbell shows his merit here as well. His Wah-Wah tone makes his guitar scream and his riffs are solid and his solos kill! Mikkey Dee proves once again that he just might be the very best drummer in rock n' roll today. This is really his album.
'Runaround Man' is classic Motorhead destined to be a fan favorite as is 'Rock Out.' The latter being very Ramones influenced adding an extra layer of awesome. 'English Rose' kills just about anything out today and 'The Thousand Names Of God' is among the strongest sets of lyrics Lemmy has ever set to paper. 'When The Eagle Screams' is by far the strongest track on the album. Both musically, and lyrically it destroys. Played and sung with passion; the guys really nailed it here.
Motorizer is among the very best Motorhead albums. Ace of Spades and Kiss of Death are the only who seem to surpass it.

How can a band put out an album every two years for three decades and manage to make a winner every time? Sure, some Motorhead albums are better than others, but I can't think of a single one that stands out like a missing tooth in their canon. AC/DC has Blow Your Video, Machine Head has Supercharger, Metallica has their entire post Black Album career. Motorhead has none of those. Motorizer not only continues the awesome trend of consistent music, it proves to be a nice change of pace.
This isn't to say that Motorhead has changed their sound. I'm pretty sure that'll never happen (but with Motorhead, that's a good thing.) What's great about Motorizer is that it is that the album is seamless. There are no ballads, no covers, no blues songs. Every track is straightforward Motorhead goodness, each with a blend of metal, punk and good old fashioned rock. That's not to say I don't like their ballads or their blues tracks, but the format makes this album a very consistent listening experience. It manages to rock out on every track yet not sound repetitive.
The band members themselves are in top form, as always. Lemmy sounds exactly the same as he did in '77 and I can't think of any other vocalists that can say the same. His bass playing is phenomenal as well. Micky Dee is an insane drummer, and I'm not one that generally pays too much attention to drumming. But I've seen this band live and I've seen this guy pull off a ten minute solo and he's the real deal, definitely one of my favorite drummers. Phil Campbell is a great guitarist, infusing the blues into every bit of metal. All of my favorite Motorhead records feature him on strings.
In good punk-like fashion, Motorizer is short and to the point, with only one track that breaks 4 minutes. This also isn't a bad thing. The album doesn't overstay its welcome and by the time it ends, you're wanting more. Luckily you can just play it a second time.
The opening track, Runaround Man is awesome, in standard Motorhead opening track fashion. It'll pump you up for the rest of the record. All of the tracks are great, but other gems are When the Eagle Screams, One Short Life, Buried Alive and Heroes.
The weird thing is, the first couple of times I spun this album I wasn't feeling it. I think it's because it didn't have riffs that hooked me immediately like Bastards or Inferno. I was being impatient and skipping tracks, looking for something that stood out. Don't be like me and do the same thing. I put on the record again, driving this time which may have helped, and realized it kicks a**. It might not have a single like Ace of Spades, but Motorizer has quickly moved its way into my top 5 Motorhead albums, up there with We Are Motorhead and Bastards. Do yourself a favor and buy this instead of the new Metallica album. Motorhead will never die!
HOW CAN YOU NOT! LIKE THIS ALBUM? August 27, 2008
