Motorhead - The World Is Yours

The same driving, bluesy rock they’ve been spewing since the Paleozoic Era

Posted Tuesday, 11 January 2011 in

During a recent nine-hour drive, this hack and his mates decided the complete Motörhead discography would be the perfect accompaniment. It was quickly realised that there’s better chance of finding Iraqi weapons of mass destruction than unlistenable ‘Head. While there may not be an ‘Ace Of Spades’ classic on ‘The Wörld Is Yours’ (and judging the scene at any rock night the world over, there never will be), their 20th teems with the same driving, bluesy rock they’ve been spewing since the Paleozoic Era. Nothing Earth-shattering, but enough solid riffs and spiffy one-liners (cue ‘Get Back In Line’’s “If you think that Jesus saves / Get back in line!”) that won’t seem too out-of-place during a headlining set.
