Advantages: Heavy and energetic punky metal

Disadvantages: Some songs sound too similar

Motorizer is the 2008 album of Motorhead. Released by Steamhammer / SPV, amazingly it is the band's 19th album and with Lemmy at the age of 62, it's astonishing that he's still as full of energy and the music is as angry as ever.

Of course it is full of trademark Motorhead sounds and the fast pace combined with Lemmy's sore throat sound does make several tracks sound quite similar but it's as good a material that the band have produced in recent years and is full of top drawer guitar work.

For fans of Motorhead this is a must have and they'll no doubt put it up there as a legendary album. One thing very noticeable about this album is that it has a very fast punky outlook and is short and sweet about what it wants to say. Lyrically it's very good and "The Thousand Names of God" is a superb track about how soldiers are conned in to the army to aid only businessmen! What a classy track! My only criticism of this album is that a lot of the tracks musically sound similar and therefore it is not my best album of the year but is a bloody good one all the same!

Summary: A great 19th album!
