Motörhead - no introduction needed. The band has been around longer than most people who will read this review have been alive. And with Bad Magic, the 22nd Long Player in their massive discography, they once again proved why they have been around for that long.

Five years without Lemmy. Pour yourself some Jack and coke, and listen to this last one.

"In your life you'll be amazed at all the love you lose
You can never live that life again
The one thing you will never lose is the singing in your head
That will still be with you till the end"

My main issue is that Lemmy's vocals have clearly lost their edge, but the mad riffage, solos and other odd moments make up for it. About eye-to-eye with Aftershock.

Bad English

Just sinned this one .... seems best song is Ballad ''Till The End'' otherwise, I don't know band has good songs, band has good albums, but this is well not bets but somehow its average album from band, better as Slayer today even IM, other old famous bands. But well Lemmy just is bad lyricist, puts any subject from life into simple text and put rock n roll and it works. Anyway nothing special , but knowing lemmy's health might be last?

It's a Motörhead album. Thats it. No other way to describe it. It sounds like a mix of Punk, Rock'n'Roll and Heavy Metal. It sounds like Motörhead. If its good or its bad, that will depend on your take on the band. Lemmy may not have that howlin' Wolf's voice but he still delivers.

Not amazing but far from being a stinker. Its surprisingly good for a 23rd release.

After 40 years and now knowing the state Lemmy was in healthwise, this is mindblowing. Like them or not they were unique and never sold out. There never was and will never be another Lemmy.

When looking back to their early releases, and comparing their music from then to their later releases, it's amazing how the music wasn't a whole lot different, they never swayed away from their original, distinctive, hard rock sound, this final album is no exception.

It's incredible to think that despite Lemmy's health deteriorating, he still followed through with this right thtough to the end, most musicians would of packed it in and called in a day by then, but not Lemmy. Lemmy and Motörhead will always live on.
