Motorizer

The speed-fueled, booze-soaked lifestyle of Motörhead leader Lemmy Kilmister should have separated him from our planet long ago, but here we are marveling at the release of the band's unthinkable 24th album. MOTORIZER is Motörhead, pure and simple. Their rumbling, tar-black motorbike sound is fully intact and uncompromised, with mission statements like the hard-charging, punky "Rock Out" showcasing their knack for a stadium-filling anthem. Lemmy's voice is seasoned to perfection with Virginia tobacco and Tennessee whiskey, and roadhouse rockers like "Back on the Chain" and "(Teach You How To) Sing the Blues" find him in fine form. If you're looking for evolution or musical experimentation, look elsewhere, but if you just want to hear uncut rock and roll, MOTORIZER should do the trick.
