Lemmy and company grease the chains, oil the cogs and wipe the sweat once again, and continue to churn out earth shattering grooves, giving the fans what they want in most parts. The band may be a little hard pressed to return to the gruelling, wolfish blackening of 'Inferno' and 'Sacrifice' but 'Motorizer' does have its moments, but then again, it also has its dodgy moments to, there are two numbers (and thankfully only two) which echo the denim jig of Status Quo, 'English Rose' certainly irritates but 'Rock Out' and the likes go a long way to engulfing any run of the mill blabbering, and with Lemmy's gravel throat delivery back to its evil self there's no telling when this machine will come to a halt. Of course, Motorhead are best experienced live and in the past some of their records have been guilty of going through the rock 'n' roll motions if you like, but 'Motorizer' certainly has enough beef to keep the hardened souls happy. With this band you always know what you're getting but that isn't the problem, it's just whether they can be bothered to turn their no thrills battery into something hellish, and this time they succeed most of the time.
7/10
