Product Description

Every new Motorhead studio album is inevitably described somewhere as a "return to form", and the seriously enjoyable Motorizer is no exception. Not that the veteran rockers have ever deviated far from their chosen path. They remain what they always were, a blues-rock outfit whose two basic templates are the fearsomely fast one and the leaden, heavy one, both of them performed at fearsome volume. Motorizer offers some of their best examples in both styles for years, several of them good enough to slip straight into their live set. The gloriously idiotic anthem "Rock Out" ("rock out, with your cock out, impress your lady friends", extemporises Lemmy) would be a hit single in a better world, while the gleeful glam rock of "English Rose" takes another approach to seaside postcard humour, this time bemoaning a flaky lady undeserving of Lem's indulgence. "Runaround Man" is a ferociously single-minded thrash, the frantic "Buried Alive" features especially courageous drumming from the always excellent Mikkey Dee, while the inevitable military references turn up on the more predictable if still impressive "When the Eagle Screams" and "Heroes". Remarkably for the (gulp!) 19th album from an act in their fourth decade, Motorizer is genuinely satisfying and great fun to boot. --Steve Jelbert

Reviews


They have still got it! \m/

Motorhead unlike Maiden, AC/DC & so many other bands never really made it big, they are not rich and famous wich is a good thing for their music because it means they haven't lost their sparkle or forgotten what it is like to be pissed off!
To be honest they sound better than ever, pure, raw, agressive & fun Hard Rock.
Rock on!!

The older they get, the better they get

This has been a fine run on albums by the mighty Motorhead and this years release of Motorizer keeps this consistancy going. Never one to stray too far from their formula sound they still manage to inject that little bit of new angle to each album. This hasn't been off my ipod since I got it, a must buy for any serious hard rock or metal fan.

Awesome

I'll admit that I'm not the biggest Motorhead fan but after hearing 'the thousand names of god' on Planetrock I decided to buy the album and am I glad I did. Motorizer is brilliant, not a duff track to be found and with every listen (and there have been plenty) is gets better and better, in fact it is getting more playing time than Metallica's latest offering!!

So my simple recommendation is BUY IT NOW, you will not regret it.

Simply put - Motorhead!

I just got this and it was bought purely because it is Motorhead, in the spirit of the review I dug into my record collection and listened to Ace of Spades for the first time in years, its still a classic Album but since 1916 most of the offerings from Motorhead have been superior in content, production and the way the album hangs together. Motorizer is another slice of Motorhead throwing riffs faster than anyone else with panache and style. The only band I have ever thought could be compared to Motorhead were the Ramones when they were playing live. Motorizer is proof that as he gets older Lemmy is still writing class lyrics and hooking bass riffs, the band are polished (as polished as Motorhead will ever get) and to me its obvious that this is the longest serving line up as they sound so very cohesive. They are the Grandaddies of rock and roll and long may they continue to pin our ears back and make our feet tap.

Another one in the bank

Another Year, another motorhead tour, another motorhead album. Looks like lemmy is set to just thunder away forever, especially if his latest offering is anything to go by.

The insanely fast bass on runaround man and rock out thunder away with tutonic ferocity whilst the slightly slower, yet no less relentless thousand names of god and heroes prove this albums metal as one of motorheads best releases. Adrenaline pumping, sweat boiling rock n roll is the order of the day here and these shoudl go down a stormer live too. the humerous child liek painting of the album art on the inside cover onyl adds to what is a solid motorhead exeprience ><

You all know the drill. If you're new then basically get this album, if you lie kmetal or rock no roll get thi album, if you are an established fan then you should have this album by now. In fact its very hard to think of a reason not to get this album right now . . .
