On this, their 22<sup>nd<\/sup> studio album, Mot\u00f6rhead haven\u2019t changed a damn thing. They still sound great and powerful and not the type of band you\u2019d ever want to mess with. Lemmy has had some recent health issues but nothing has stopped him from roaring back to life with longtime cohorts Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee. The standout, amongst many, is the surprising cover of the Rolling Stones\u2019 classic \u201cSympathy For The Devil.\u201d Given a righteous going-over from the band, the song sounds alive and fresh and exhilarating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cVictory Or Die,\u201d the album opener, is another classic Mot\u00f6rhead jam; just basic, no-frills rock and\/or roll that gives the people exactly what they want and what they\u2019ve always come to expect from Mot\u00f6rhead. \u201cThe Devil\u201d starts off as a slower track that brings the pace down a bit; that is, until Brian May of Queen pops in for a guest solo and totally crushes it, bringing the song to life. Another slower song, \u201cTil the End,\u201d is one of the best tracks on the record, featuring great vocals from Lemmy and an overall amazing feel. It truly is one of the best slower, non full-on assault type of songs the band has put out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cFire Storm Hotel\u201d is one of the few disappointments on the disc; the whole track feels very rushed without any of that classic Mot\u00f6rhead energy or excitement to it at all. Fortunately, they rebound with \u201cTell Me Who To Kill,\u201d which is another great thrasher with some incredibly great guitar work courtesy of Phil Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>  Overall, Mot\u00f6rhead have made another great record that metal fans should devour with rapture. I think it goes without saying that Mot\u00f6rhead is one of the most dependable and reliable bands out there. Now with Lemmy\u2019s recent health problems and the fact that he is undeniably slowing down as a live performer, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the band. But as long as Lemmy can keep going at a decent rate, then Mot\u00f6rhead will continue to churn out the same reliable product!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":32497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[5666],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-44258","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-motorhead","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=44258"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=44258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
