The thunderous guitar of this track starts off ‘Heartbreaker’ and what promises to be another brilliant album from Motorhead. If their previous 20 (yes 20) studio albums have taught us is that Motorhead ‘s music is designed to play loud and proud.
Having launched the listener into a full blown attack, ‘Coup de Grace’ is a fantastic, guitar dominated track with Motorhead’s characteristic sound and catchy chorus.

‘Lost woman blues’ is a moody descent further into the album. Smooth, sultry vocals and riveting guitar work make for a dark and interesting track.

In contrast, ‘End of time’ is a fast paced assault on the ears. One of the stand out riffs of the entire album is present supported by rapid drumming; all creating a denser sounding track to that seen so far.

“I believe in rock n roll” utters Lemmy. And so will you after listening to ‘Do You Believe’. Perhaps the most characteristic song of Motorhead’s previous work on this album. A brilliant rock n roll track that combines ferocity and craftsmanship perfectly.
Density and destruction are the two words I would use to describe ‘Death Machine’. Aptly followed by the melodic ‘Dust and Glass’ with outstanding guitar work.

‘Going to Mexico’ marks just past half way and the album gives no sign of showing any mercy. The heavy riffs and crashing drums create musical oblivion that despite listening to seven tracks already, somehow leaves you yearning for more!
Growling vocals draw the listener into ‘Silence When You Speak to Me’. Lyrics demanding “remember, remember me” make you question how you could ever forget Motorhead. In my opinion, the guitar solo of the whole album can be heard here; meaning you definitely will remember this track!

“You’ve been gone to long”. Lyrics which sum up my thoughts about Motorhead when I listen to ‘Crying Shame’. Yet again, a brilliantly produced track with everything you could possibly want from rock n roll.

‘Queen of the Damned’ has a starting riff that I feel in time will become as familiar as that of ‘Ace of Spades’. As soon as the track starts, you will find your head nodding; the infectious beat and roaring vocals from Lemmy taking over your senses.
‘Keep your powder dry’ has classic rock n roll vibe; grinding bass and brilliant melody. Leading into ‘Paralyzed’, which does what it says in the title. Terrorised by immense drumming, and scorned by the voclas. This track leaves you feeling glad you listened, slightly worse for wear, and hungry for yet more of the legendry Motorhead.
