Motorizer
Motorhead 2008
By Kim Thore
As the 19th studio album from legendary rockers, Motorhead- Motorizer will not disappoint the tried and true Motorhead fan. The trio has continued to produce cds and albums that are consistent, not wavering too far from the formula that makes Motorhead work.
Produced, mixed and engineered by Cameron Webb (Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, Monster Magnet), Motorizer does evoke a cleaner production sound as compared to earlier releases but thankfully not falling prey to Webb‘s alternative roots.
Webb accomplishes this without muddying the underlying sound that is singularly Motorhead - in short Webb sharpened some of the edges, gave the cd a bit of shine but didn’t clean away all of the “good stuff”. The classic Motorhead sound is still there in 11 songs in less than 40 minutes.
Notable tracks include “Buried Alive”, “Runaround Man” and “The Thousand Names of God”.
It’s fast, it’s loud and best of all it is unapologetic. This is Motorhead in classic form.
