 it rocks!
Hammered rocks baby!, this new release by motorhead is simply excellent, there is no song here that I dislike, I have been listening to it maybe for 3 weeks in a row and it seems that it will take longer to leave my cd changer. Some people may dislike the song "serial killer" which is a track where LK speaks with some background music, but the good news for you all who doesn´t know it is that motorhead doesn´t give a damn! they do whatever they want to & when they want it! motorhead was, is & will be the REAL Rockn´roll band of all times!

 Lemmy is the definition of metal.
Lemmy is now the elder statesman of metal, especially with the ever occuring misadventures of Ozzy. He's metal to the core and one of the few men of metal (along with Scott Ian of Anthrax) that have remained commited to metal and their ideals as much today as when they first started. Motorhead is what metal is all about. For over 28 years Motorhead has resisted the need to turn overtly commercial or embrace eMpTy tV (MTV). While we've seen stallwarts like Megadeth and Metallica fall to the wayside or to the temptations of commercialism, Motorhead just keeps turning out great metal in all its raw furry. And their current album Hammered is no exception. It's just as fast and raw and heavy as their late 70's output, but with thankfully much better production quality. That classic Lemmy growl is everywhere like a refreshing guarentee that what you're about to hear is going to be quality metal. There's not a bad song in the lot, a wholy consistent album from start to finish. "Brave New World" is a biting commentary on the state of social affairs. "Voices from the War" is another great Motorhead war song, there seems to be one on every album. "Serial Killer" is a spoken word poem that shows the menacing quality Lemmy's voice can add. I'd like to hear him read a Steven King audio book sometime! "The Game" is a song that was actually written in conjuction with a pro wrestler, but don't write it off. It's a great song with a lot of power and attitude. Lemmy just adds to the bad*ss factor. And in an industry where testosterone and attitude rule, who better than Lemmy and Motorhead to bring it out. Sure beats NuMetal. Buy it today.

 Run out of steam...
I can't believe I would ever have the guts to give a Motorhead album a 3 but this one definitely deserves it and maybe less. I don't know what it is but ever since Sacrifice it seems that Motorhead has been running out of steam with each album losing it a little bit. Hopefully they blow us away with the next one. I would say there's one good song worth buying the CD on this one! -O

 Some Joy After All!
I was way too hasty in my review for Motorhead's "Hammered" previously. There is great stuff here it just takes a few listens. Unlike the title this group of recordings grows on you as opposed to taking you by storm which I am used to with Motorhead. Without a doubt the following tracks are classic Motorhead and alone worth the price of the CD: Walk A Crooked Mile, Voices From The War, Shut Your Mouth, Dr. Love, and No Remorse, Red Raw. The jury is out on the rest but the entire recording grows on you for sure! I still dislike the bonus track choices as any Motorhead fan would already have these two choices making them non-bonus tracks as far as I'm concerned. "Hammered" is a must have for any metal fan!
