MOTORHEAD as a three piece has always been the thing for me. They have proven time and again that they are capable of doing so much more with that one less component in the mix and "WE ARE MOTORHEAD" is a glistening example of that theory.
The last studio record, "SNAKE BITE LOVE," took a bit of a slagging in the press and from the fans for being a little lighter than the rest of the MOTOR- catalogue. I mean, the fans do have the right to expect that MOTORHEAD will always be the loudest and heaviest thing on the shelves at that point in time, this is the bands apology for 'SNAKE BITE LOVE." Nine of the ten tracks are pure an un-compromised MOTORHEAD with a smattering of that old style punk flavor that made the classic first three albums the essential metal that they are. What is a little bit out of character is the choice of covers, namely the SEX PISTOLS "God Save the Queen." This one is especially strange as it does nothing with the original that a countless number of other metal bands haven't already done and it would seem to convey sentiments opposed to Lemmy's previous support of the monarchy in England. I am sure he has his reasons and given that the rest of the album is vital MOTORHEAD any trespass is forgiven. They are MOTORHEAD and your not a further reason to pick this disc up is not needed.
