Motorhead - The World Is Yours (2011)

If only every track on Motorhead's umpteenth album could sound like the black n' roll bellow of 'Brotherhood Of Man.' For me this is Motorhead at their best, a grimy, slow, pounding, almost Venom-esque style slab of rusty metal that brings to mind the blackened glory of 'War For War' on the 'Sacrifice' record. Sadly, the band every quickly slip into their known brand of rock n' roll - nothing wrong with it - but just a little repetitive, 'Born To Lose,' 'I Know How To Die,' blah blah are allt ypically Motorhead - all rather formulaic, amking me wonder just how long it takes Lemmy and co to write some of this stuff. Sure, it's great that Motorhead have never really changed their style, they've kept it rock n' roll for several decades, but I'm a sucker for the more oily, sinister sounding tracks, although the mid-paced 'Devils In My Head' with its chugging riff, and familar sounding 'Waiting For The Snake' keep the album alive...just! This isn't Motorhead at their best, but then again, a majority of their albums are sporadic, often displaying grimy lumps of aggression sometimes dulled by all too familar grooves. 'The World Is Yours' no different, but I guess you knew that anyway, it's Motorhead after all. 7/10
