Some bands definetely wear their formulas proudly for all to see, and Motorhead is one such band. The standard elements that make up their albums are all here----fast, hard, loud, lyrics either about war or S&M or getting blasted out of your skull chemically, topped off with Lemmy Kilminster gargling razorbl----er, singing! What makes this Motorhead album stand out somewhat--SOMEWHAT--are Bill Laswell's larger-than-life production values, which makes songs like "Deaf Forever," "The Claw" and the title tune really kick in your head. "Deaf Forever" is particularly in the "put-it-on-and-play-it-again" catagory--once the opening riff starts up, it doesn't turn loose! Out of Motorhead's mostly sounds-the-same discography, this album stands apart and makes itself heard.
