[2015-08-28] Motorhead "Bad Magic" (Motorhead/UDR)

Description
Legendary British rock’n’roll trio Motörhead release their 22nd studio album Bad Magic through long-time label UDR Music/Motörhead Records.

Produced once again by Cameron Webb, and recorded/mixed at NRG Studios in North Hollywood, CA, Bad Magic contains an unheard of, bumper-sized 13 tracks, comprising 12 brand new Motörtunes and a truly epic cover of The Rolling Stones classic “Sympathy For The Devil”.

Bristling with thunderous attitude, and some of the fiercest rhythms and riffs that’ll assault your ears this year, Bad Magic demands that you fall to your knees and pray heartily that your senses don’t get completely pulverized, because big-rig head crushers like the totemic and Motöranthemic “Thunder And Lightning” show that Motörhead are as strong, mean, loud, relentless, uncompromising and goddam heavy as ever.

Drawing on their own vast catalogue of road-warrior freewheeling rock’n’roll spirit, Bad Magic also strides confidently into some of the earlier attitudes of Motörmusic. There is the driving malevolence of “Choking On Your Screams” underscoring Lemmy in magnificently omnipotent vocal mood, “Electricity” carries a hefty chunk of punk attitude married with some of Phil Campbell’s best lead work yet, and “Shoot Out All of Your Lights” screams devilish, greasy, biker-born-screw-you-and-yours attitude, Mikkey Dee’s tribal drums pounding out a great path for more Kilmister proclamations.

In this, their historic 40th year anniversary, Motörhead will also continue to gleefully deafen fans with a world tour, including a European Summer tour where they will debut brand new Motörclassic “Thunder & Lightning”.

The world might be in a state of turmoil and uncertainty, but Bad Magic is solid gold proof that you can always bet on Motörhead to deliver the greatest, leanest and meanest of goods through thick and thin.

i saw them on what I think was their first tour of the States opening for the Blizzard Of Ozz on Ozzys first solo tour. I never heard of them before that but I have see them many times since then. I love all of their albums and will definitely be getting this. Great in your face rock n roll.

I believe Brian May of Queen plays on "Sympathy For The Devil".

I'll be getting this. Shit, their albums sell better now than they ever did in the US.

Since the mid-90's Motorhead's output has been phenomenal.

Amazing consistency and no throwaways.

Why are they not in the Rock Hall of Fame? Oh yeah, never mind...

I picked this up today at BB for the low low price $2.99. It was on sale for $9.99 , I had a $5 BB Rewards coupon and the cashier had a $2 coupon that he gave me. It was $2.99 well spent. The album kicks ass ! Another excellent Motorhead album. Their cover of Sympathy For The Devil is damn good.
