Motorhead: Motorizer

"Don't shoot me down, I ain't no violent man,

Don't put a .45 in my hand,

I ain't gonna do no time,

I know I've been a fool,

But please don't send me down,

I don't want to spend my life lock up,

Without no women around"

Genre: Heavy Metal

Label: Steamhammer/SPV

Year: 2008

What can be said about English rock group Motorhead, other then they have been one of the most influential bands in metal history?

Well, aside from that, not much. I first heard Motorhead WAY back when I was in eighth grade and the song was Ace of Spades, which I do not remember how or when it was when I first heard it, but I do remember that I liked it. And from that point on, it has been my favorite Motorhead song to date. 

But we're not here to talk about early Motorhead, we're here to talk about the ONLY Motorhead record I own, Motörizer.

First I want to talk about how I found this record: completely by accident. Yes, that's right. I hadn't heard anything about this record, and I stumbled upon it while browsing the heavy metal section of my local FYE (much love to you guys), and sampled it; instantaneous approval. So I bought it and blasted it on my way home. After listening to the album all the way once, I found what songs I like and what I didn't like. And as I listen to it again, I find that not much as changed.

What I like about this album? Just about everything. The only thing I don't like is the cover art, because it doesn't really make a lot of sense. But other than that, I love this record; great hooks, the typical Motörhead style of lyrics, and of course, Lemmy. What's a good Motorhead album without Lemmy Kilmister? It's not.


Anyway, on to the songs! Right off the bat this album sets the stage with Runaround Man, which is my personal favorite of the record. This is one of those albums that as soon as I heard it, I wanted it and I knew I would like it. I've been a Motorhead fan for a few years, but unfortunately this is the only record that I currently own. I haven't heard much from their new album, The World is Yours, but that's mainly because I haven't had much time to go and pick it up with being in school and all. But I will try to at least take a peak at it through Youtube, and I might have to review it that way. But that's something I'll deal with when the time comes.


The entire album is what I like to call a "Road Tripping" album, and I have popped into the radio while on a few long trips. Overall I give this album an 8.5/10. The few things I don't like about it is with the slower songs. They seem almost out of place to me. But other than that, I love this album.

I Chaos: The Human Repellent

Alright, I'm gonna break my mold here for a minute. I'm gonna go WAY of course and review this band I literally JUST heard of. They're called "I Chaos", and they come to us from the Netherlands. I'm not going to post the picture up because I feel it would be too graphic for this particular page. But I digress.

Let's start with a little info about these guys. The only site that I could find with even a shred of info is the band page. I'm serious. These guys started in '09. They don't even have a Wikipedia page yet! Their debut album, "The Human Repellent", has hit the shelves. And I have to say, I don't normally listen to death metal, but when I heard these guys I had a bowel movement.

My brain exploded, my eyes where as wide as dinner plates, and I got an instant headache due to the sheer awesomeness of these guys. I can't tell if they're music is satanic or not, seeing as how I cannot find any lyrics online. But for the time being, I'm reviewing them!

Like I said before, I don't normally like Death Metal, especially generic. But these guys are different for me somehow. Maybe it's because they're not over-doing it (if that's even possible in Death Metal) with horrible blast beats (which are in EVERY song). I don't know. Regardless, these guys are good. And Holland has once again given us a fantastic group of men. I more than likely won't listen to them on a regular basis, but I will certainly come back to these guys and be keeping an eye on them.

All together, I would have to give these guys an 7/10. They're good, but I've heard much better (Mortification). 

BTW, this might be how long my post are for the time being while I'm still in school. But I will try to get you guys something when I have an "off" day.

As always, I'm your host M. Watts.
