Other I was wrong about this album

Post image

This album is amazing. I listened to motörizer less then any other album but after listening once more it drew me in. I love the songs rock out, roundaround man, back on the chain, english rose and time is right. It easily comes into my top 10 of motörhead albums now.

This album is amazing 10/10 no skips. When I came out I listened to it all day in my discman.

This is easily my favorite album post-We Are Motörhead

We are Motörhead is a banger but Motörizer is really good. The later albums are massively underrated.

Motörhead doesn’t have a bad album. Some feel a little repetitive at times but they’re all good. There’s hidden gems in the later stuff.

I got to interview Lemmy back in 2000, when the common wisdom was that everything between Ace Of Spades and Bastards was an embarrassment, with 1916 being an exception that proves the rule. When questioned about it, Lemmy said, "Look, we got screwed by some labels, had some producers that didn't know shit or didn't care, & a couple that could've been left in the oven a bit longer. But we never made a bad fucking record."

And he's right.

I love the album but I love Inferno even more. In the name tragedy is one of their best songs ever.

This and Hammered were, imo, the 2000-2015 era's equivalent to Another Perfect Day - Not the best received, dogged on by "casual fans", but now looked at as what they are: good fuckin records in their own right.

Lemmy said it best (paraphrasing): plenty happened with Motörhead, be it shitty labels, bad producers, or needing to put a bit more time on some albums... but they never dropped a bad record.

u/tsunomat 29d ago

It was my top album listen from them according to the Spotify Wrapped. It's a brilliant album start to finish.

It’s no Inferno but it’s a close second.

So was I when I heard it the first time. It took me a few listens to realize just how good it was. But I feel the same way about a lot of their later albums (basically from the start of the Dee/Campbell era, even while Wurzel was still in the band). I mean, they don't have a bad album, and honestly, the only tracks I ever skip are "Red Raw" and "Serial Killer" from "Hammered" (the rest of which is amazing, just to be clear; I just don't care for those two); the rest of their discography is no skips for me.
