"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

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.
As always, I am your host, M. Watts.
