Performer: Motörhead
Engineer: Cameron Webb Producer: Cameron Webb Distributor: Ryko Distribution Notes: Mot�rhead: Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, bass guitar); Phil Campbell (guitars); Mikkey Dee (drums). Audio Mixer: Cameron Webb. The speed-fueled, booze-soaked lifestyle of Mot�rhead 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 Mot�rhead, 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.
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.50) - "MOTORIZERis a solid Motorhead album, one which places its faith in the one thing Lemmy is still willing to believe in -- rock'n'roll."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is an utterly unbridled outing....They deliver thunderously within parameters ranging from Ramonesy punk/thrash to Ted Nugenty riffola..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "There's much vitality about the trio's latest LP....When Lemmy, Phil Campbell and the monstrously-good drummer Mikkey Dee are on form, they pack one hell of a punch."
After he departed Hawkwind in the mid-1970s, bassist/gravel-voiced singer Lemmy formed the hard-rocking Motorhead. Referred to by punk rockers as "the only metal band that matters," the rowdy trio was one of the leaders of the early-'80s New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, and an important influence on future thrash and speed metal bands.
