I've got most of them, but not this one yet.  Guess I better fix that. 
Thanks for the review, RIck.

Crash, boom, bang!  The new "Motorhead" has landed with a resounding
cataclysmic fury!  If the career of Lemmy & co. was the earthquake, then,
believe me, this is indeed the "Aftershock"!  No-holds-barred,
take-no-prisoners Rock 'n' Roll with a bluesy sometimes on speed feel with
Lemmy sounding better than ever before vocally and playing a bass that even
Trevor would have approved!  "Heartbreaker" is the opener and sets the
stage for one of the best workouts the trio have ever recorded together.
Phil "Fast Eddie" Campbell sounds more like his predecessor than Mr. Clarke
himself, these days, as he pinches out riff after riff squeezing in solos
that are to die for.  Mikkey Dee is also superb behind the skins bashing
away and muscling through anthemic numbers like "Paralyzed", "End of Time",
"Queen of the Damned" (Aaliyah, where are YOU now?), "Going to Mexico",
"Crying Shame", "Death Machine", and the Sam Gopal/Escalator influenced
"Dust & Glass".  Hell, this is easily their best effort in decades, and
they could have called it, "Greatest Hitz", because it damn near is!  Just
check out Lemmy actually playing a bass solo on "Crying Shame" before he
slams into some trademark riffs a la "Ace of Spades" on the aforementioned
"Queen of the Damned".  If YOU have never owned a "Motorhead" disc before,
then this is most definitely the one for YOU!  Buy or die!
