Amazon.co.uk Review
Every new Motorhead studio album is inevitably described somewhere as a "return to form", and the seriously enjoyable Motorizer is no exception. Not that the veteran rockers have ever deviated far from their chosen path. They remain what they always were, a blues-rock outfit whose two basic templates are the fearsomely fast one and the leaden, heavy one, both of them performed at fearsome volume. Motorizer offers some of their best examples in both styles for years, several of them good enough to slip straight into their live set. The gloriously idiotic anthem "Rock Out" ("rock out, with your cock out, impress your lady friends", extemporises Lemmy) would be a hit single in a better world, while the gleeful glam rock of "English Rose" takes another approach to seaside postcard humour, this time bemoaning a flaky lady undeserving of Lem's indulgence. "Runaround Man" is a ferociously single-minded thrash, the frantic "Buried Alive" features especially courageous drumming from the always excellent Mikkey Dee, while the inevitable military references turn up on the more predictable if still impressive "When the Eagle Screams" and "Heroes". Remarkably for the (gulp!) 19th album from an act in their fourth decade, Motorizer is genuinely satisfying and great fun to boot. --Steve Jelbert
Album Description
Motörizer, a meaty, dangerous rock record, is Motörhead's 24th album and as you will hear - the band is always good for surprises! One gets the feeling that they have not yet reached the peak of their musical output. Like Mikkey Dee says: "A kick ass mother**ing record - definitely one of the wider-ranged Motörhead records ever released."
Motörizer delivers 11 brilliant brand new songs in a never before Motörhead variety, ready to rock the house. The album was again produced by Cameron Webb (Social Distortion, Zebrahead, Papa Roach), who produced the last two Motörhead releases, and much of the recording took place at Foo Fighter Dave Grohl's 606 studios in Los Angeles.

There is nothing fancy, sophisticated or classy about Lemmy Kilmister but, in his own words, 'that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever'. And so, whether you are a fan or not of him and his music, there is something fundamentally reassuring about the way in which he and Motorhead never seem to change. 'Motorizer' is as brutal and full of energy as any other Motorhead album over the years and if you've been a long term fan, you will simply lap this album up. Speaking however as someone that can appreciate the great man and his music rather than actually like a lot of it, I don't think that there are any individual tracks here to rival past glories such as 'Ace Of Spades', 'Bomber' or (my personal favourite) 'Killed By Death'. This said, 'The Runaround Man', 'Heroes' and the hilarious 'Rock Out' (with your cock out!) could all become favourites in time. That Lemmy and his band are still producing punishing, aggressive and 'dirty' rock and roll over 30 years into a musical career is a tribute to them and, let's face it, there's no-one that quite 'cranks up the volume' like Motorhead, is there? 'Motorizer' is a solid and consistent set, that delivers EXACTLY what you would expect it to, and if that's what you want then BUY IT! 7 out of 10.

I'll admit that I'm not the biggest Motorhead fan but after hearing 'the thousand names of god' on Planetrock I decided to buy the album and am I glad I did. Motorizer is brilliant, not a duff track to be found and with every listen (and there have been plenty) is gets better and better, in fact it is getting more playing time than Metallica's latest offering!!
So my simple recommendation is BUY IT NOW, you will not regret it.

I just got this and it was bought purely because it is Motorhead, in the spirit of the review I dug into my record collection and listened to Ace of Spades for the first time in years, its still a classic Album but since 1916 most of the offerings from Motorhead have been superior in content, production and the way the album hangs together. Motorizer is another slice of Motorhead throwing riffs faster than anyone else with panache and style. The only band I have ever thought could be compared to Motorhead were the Ramones when they were playing live. Motorizer is proof that as he gets older Lemmy is still writing class lyrics and hooking bass riffs, the band are polished (as polished as Motorhead will ever get) and to me its obvious that this is the longest serving line up as they sound so very cohesive. They are the Grandaddies of rock and roll and long may they continue to pin our ears back and make our feet tap.

What a "Motorhead"!!!
Everyone who knows Motorhead, knows their kind of music! It's for "Motorheads" and not for "motordeads"! So, if you like this group, I can tell you that is a "must have" album!!!
