Free Music Notes for Motorizer
Free Music Review: Another great Motorhead album
Hit: 4 Stars
It is just amazing, that after a 30+ year career, Lemmy & co. would release their 24th album, with no signs of slowing down or watering down their sound, with the same energy as if it was 1977!
At this point Motorhead have become an institution!
Motorheads' success is due to the fact that unlike most metal bands who have survived this long (and very few have), the band has NEVER sold out to current musical trends.. Motorhead has seen punk, NWOBHM, hair metal, grunge, nu-metal and punk come and go back again, and they have always sounded the same: as loud and heavy as ever.
Motorhead are as uncompromising as always, which is why they have everyone's respect and this is why they keep on touring and releasing new music!
The new album, Motorizer is not a groundbreaking by any manner, but this is not the reason why you listen to Motorhead in the first place.. what you get is what you expect: 11 pounding proto-metal Motorhead tracks loud enough to leave you deaf, with the always genial lyrics Lemmy has always written (hey, Ozzy wouldn't hire just anyone to write songs for him.. there is a reason why he hired Lemmy!)
Overall, Motorizer may not be as good a Motorhead's surprisingly successful 2004 album "Inferno", but it doesn't matter.. it is still good enough to enjoy, because nobody writes songs like Lemmy and nobody sounds like Motorhead!
This band re-invented and re-defined the way metal sounds forever (just ask Metallica!) and this album will be a great addition to any Motorhead fan's CD collection!
Free Music Review: They never stop...
Hit: 4 Stars
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.

Motorizer- Motorhead 2008
As the 19th studio album from legendary rockers, Motorhead- Motorizer will not disappoint the tried and true Motorhead fan. The trio has continued to produce cds and albums that are consistent, not wavering too far from the formula that makes Motorhead work.
Produced, mixed and engineered by Cameron Webb ( Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, Monster Magnet), Motorizer does evoke a cleaner production sound as compared to earlier releases but thankfully not falling prey to Webb`s alternative roots.
Webb accomplishes this without muddying the underlying sound that is singularly Motorhead- in short Webb sharpened some of the edges, gave the cd a bit of shine but didn't clean away all of the "good stuff". The classic Motorhead sound is still there in 11 songs in less than 40 minutes.
Notable tracks include "Buried Alive", "Runaround Man" and "The Thousand Names of God".
It's fast, it's loud and best of all it is unapologetic. This is Motorhead in classic form.

Free Music Review: Excellent addition to the canon
Hit: 4 Stars
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!!
Free Music Review: Motorhead - 'Motorizer' (Steamhammer / SPV) 4 1/2 stars
Hit: 4 Stars
'Motorizer' is noted to be Motorhead's twenty-foirth album (not counting their five live CD's, I'm assuming). It's memorable CD cover was done by artist Mark De Vito. I believe this just might be the best Lemmy & crew has put out in ages. All eleven cuts here are sure to pull in your full attention (and leave you gasping for air) like the total *ss-kicking "Runaround Man", the in-your-face "Teach You How To Sing The Blues", the head-riveting "Rock Out", "One Short Life" and your typical Motorhead rocker "Burned Alive". As for the rest of the tunes - there's "English Rose", the awesome "Time is Right" (would love to hear this song played live sometime) and specially the closer - that deals with war and faith - "The Thousand Names Of God", shows us all just how truly inspiring as well as intelligent lyrics Motorhead is able to come up with. Comes with a neatly assembled 20-page CD booklet. Who says metal is dead? Those in question need to give 'Motorizer' a good listen. 100% essential.
