Official Bar Score: 

Motorhead has been around doing what they do for a very long time. Their style and sound are very distinct from any other band, I give that to Lemmy’s very unique vocals. There is something about a pissed off guy who sounds like he has throat cancer that sounds very cool when backed by very heavy and fast hard hitting music such as Motorhead. Other than the vocals the band has a very nice guitar sound and are definitely into solos.

“Motorizer” is a very treble heavy album I had to crank the bass up a bit for it to hit right, I blame that on the producer. Other than that the album is really fast and nothing has changed much in the Motorhead world. I think I like this band just because it is Motorhead, you can’t like metal and not like Motothead I think that is a rule.

As for the songs they all sound the same, much like any other Motorhead album I’ve ever heard, that is not such a bad thing because the album is barely over a half an hour and its loud and heavy. Hey it works for AC/DC as well, so I don’t complain. A couple tracks stick out like “When The Eagle Screams” and “One Short Life” but they barely stand out from the rest. My favorite song is “English Rose” because it kicks ass and has a nice groove.

Actually I’m giving this album 3 beers because I’m terrified of Lemmy and I am afraid that if I didn’t like the album he would show up at my house on a really loud motor cycle and kick my ass. Just kidding Motorhead fans, its a good album if your fan, probably won’t gain any new listeners but its nice to know that these guys are still around.
