Who could've guessed back in 1977--when ex-Hawkwind bassist Lemmy Kilmister's new band, Motörhead, released their self-titled debut--that Lemmy's career would some day be measured in decades? The rapid-fire metal/punk group seemed to have ignited a fast-burning wick that would lead to certain explosion. Yet here's Motörhead in 2000 still hammering out speedy, thick metal. We Are Motörhead finds Lemmy in his mid-50s barking out "See Me Burning" as the youthful Mikkey Dee (of Dokken fame) powers his double-bass beat. A trio once again, with guitarist Phillip Campbell holding down the guitar slot, Motörhead slice the speed a bit thinner than on earlier albums such as Ace of Spades and the classic No Sleep 'til Hammersmith. But Lemmy is as irascible as ever, as evidenced by the touching, minor-key ballad "One More Fucking Time." --Andrew Bartlett

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Album since "Sacrifice", May 17, 2000

By

Motorhead's new release "We are Motorhead" is a return to brutality for the band. Gone are the standard rock or blues riffs, and in there place is that buzzsaw sound we all know and love. This is easily their heaviest album since "Sacrifice". The opening track "See me Burning" is a rapid fire scorcher featuring that classic double bass drum thunder heard in other Motorhead thrashers. Most songs are uptempo, and Phil Campbells leadwork sounds spontaneous, and top-notch. The closing track "We are Motorhead" is an instant classic and one of the best "theme-songs" I've heard from ANY band. The only weak point (and this is minor) is the production. While not awful, the guitars sound like they needed to be mixed higher,as the overall sound is a little bottom heavy. Still, a must have for Motorhead fans, as well as fans of loud rock/metal.

5.0 out of 5 stars the snaggletoothed-dog-faced god has done it again, June 15, 2000

It's quite unbelieveable that after 25 years and countless albuns, Lemmy can still deliver such a powerful album as this. Always walking a thin line between metal and punk, Motorhead's fire burns brighter than ever.

The record opens with a sonic burst of raw metal that left me ear-shattered on the ground. The second track "Slow Dance" demonstrates the sheer power of motoriffs that only mr.Kilminster and mr. Campbell can so superbly provide. There are 2 other tracks that deserve notice. The first is "Wake the Dead"wich shows us a more elaborate side of Motorhead, with its mood and tempo changes.The other one is an interesting and intense ballad " One More F***ing Time.

The mayhem continues until we are faced with the album's gargantuan closer "We are motorhead" , wich did not only kicked my ass as they said they would (see lyrics) but left it lying helplessly smashed on the edge...!

Diferently than most people might think, speed was never the main issue for motorhead. They never cared about how fast they could play. Motorhead was always about attitude and I-N-T-E-N-S-I-T-Y. And intensity is what this album is about. Long Live The Motors. Their best effort since 1916.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metallica- Are you listening?, June 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: We Are Motorhead (Audio CD)

Fast,tight,and loud. Speedburning metal at its best. This is one of Motorhead's top three. Theres no hit here just consistent fast powerful metal. This cd took me by surprise, sounds like they took a big shot of adrenaline when they made this one. This and AC/DC's new one make these new rap rock bands look like an impotent joke.
