Motorhead
Everything Louder Than Everyone Else
[CMC International/ BMG]


This 1999 double-cd was recorded in Hamburg, Germany, 1998. I put off buying this until now, as I just assumed it would have a shit sound or something. I was disappointed in that Live at Brixton Academy thing. The production is really good, but it still isn't like attending an actual show and having Lemmy's Rickenbacker bass vibrate every molecule in you to kingdom come. This sounds dirty enough to satisfy me and not turn it off. The song selection is good, though I would have preferred more older material (ie.Bomber) but the band must be sick of them. Speed metal songs like "Burner' or "Sacrifice" are not the Motorhead we know. Sure, Lemmy, guitarist Phil Campbell, & drummer Mikkey Dee prove they ca be heavier than say, Pantera or Metallica, but it's that dirty rockin' groove we want, not just aggression. Lemmy could do a tour of churning out covers of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Stones, and the Yardbirds, and I know THAT would be something I would HAVE to hear and see, because no one could do it better!

Tunes that smoke are "Capricorn", "Iron Fist", "Civil War", "Love For Sale", "Killed By Death", "Bomber", "Ace Of Spades", "Overkill".

I still think "Live at Hammersmith" is Motorhead's best live album, but this is still a worthy purchase, especially if you feel too lazy to keep switching albums on your stereo. Live albums are still kind of neat cuz they're sort of like a 'greatest hits' package.
