sgood - anyone who says this is a bad album is WRONG!even the bad tracks are good.
my favorite motorhead album... - this is my favorite motorhead album. to me, this album is the perfect mix of old and new motorhead. songs to check out are, walk a crooked mile, shut your mouth, and the game. if you only have room for a few motorhead albums in your cd collection, this is a must!
Hammered - Motorhead-Hammered ***Not the best. Hammered honestly let me down. I m not saying it is a bad album because it most certainly isn t. The thing is that I expected more from it when I bought it and not only did I not get that but I got something completly different. Hammered came out in 2002, which was sort of the heighth of that NuMetal bull and this album really sounds NuMetal more so than my taste can handle. I hate NuMetal so this album is a little hard for me to stomach which is sad because Motorhead is one of my very favorite bands. Walk A Crooked Mile starts off the album decent but should have been much better. The lyrics are among that of Lemmys best but the musicianship is just poor, it s like they tried to dumb down to keep up with the times of NuMetal which is full of musicians who can hardly play their instruments. Down The Line continues the album but you hardly notice it, it should have been left off. Hammered really starts with Brave New World it is the albums strongest track and should have been the opener. The musicianship is great, and the lyrics are even better. Lemmys lyrics are amazing here. Philip Campbell also plays some of the best guitar of the album on Brave New World. Not only that but from this point on the songs are actually pretty strong. Voices Of War Mine All Mine and Shut Your Mouth all go hand in hand, or hand in hand in hand I should say. Kill The World is one of the strongest tracks on the album as well as one of the most angry songs that Lemmy has ever written. Dr. Love is a return to Lemmy s love for sixties love songs which the band as always pulls of great. No Remorse is another great song and should have ended the album. Red Raw is take or leave with me. Serial Killer is cool, a spoken word poem-esque thing that really is in the wrong place, it should have been an intro to a song or the start of the album not the end. Now if you buy the rerelease of the album then you also get the two bonus tracks. The Game which I think is the intro music to one of the wrestlers on television, who I think also goes by the name, The Game. It is a great song even though it sounds very NuMetal. The lyrics are phenomonal, and I can see why the guy would want to use it as his intro music because it can get anyone pumped up for anything. Also a live version of Overnight Sensation which is a great addition to the album.This is not a bad album by any means, but it just isn t Motorhead. This is Lemmy trying to keep up with the times, when really the times are trying to keep up with Lemmy head and Motorhead. Hammered is worth checking out if your a real Motorhead fan.
Motorhead shines with class again! - Lemmy,Mikkey Dee, and Phillip Campbell write and record another excellent album, If your a Motorhead fan you will like this one a lot!!
Not great but HEY! Its Motorhead! - This album honestly is just not good. Dont get me wrong, motorhead is definaltey one of my top three favorite bands, and ive seen them twice in concert, but this album just doesnt cut it! It is waaaaay too melodic and poetic. I know everyone was waiting for another motorhead album three years ago, but this definatley did not satisfy me. If you are someone new to motorhead, dont get this, get bomber, ace of spades, overkill, and no sleep til hammersmith first. Bit seriously I am so glad inferno came out, it seriously kicked ass go get that one too.
