Verdict

Well Motorhead are back this is the follow up to the excellent "Inferno" album can this album be worthy of its predecessors? The answer is hell yes but before I start with an in depth review a brief history lesson Motorhead in the 80's were the biggest band along with Iron Maiden, Slayer and Metallica they made some classic album's then due to line up changes the 90's saw Motorhead dive big style the only worth while album they made was "Bastards" then came 2002 "Hammered" a true come back in every right loud challenging rock then when you couldn't of asked for any more along comes 2004 "Inferno" at this stage Motorhead had come back even stronger it seems the older Lemmy and co get the better there album's become in true typical style "Kiss Of Death" delivers everything it respect to "Inferno" but better title track "Sucker" kicks off with blistering pace a sign that Motorhead aren't dead yet tracks like "Devil I Know" and "Under The Gun" have the best riff's that Motorhead have done and as always Lemmy's vocal work and bass line are superb not to mention as always Phil Campbell's guitar work is phenomenal and Mickkey Dee drum work is great too. Even track "God Was Never On Your Side" starts off with an acoustic feel, which turns out to be a very good Ballard. Most people say Motorhead never do anything different but I say if it aint broke don't fix it judging by the show I saw them recently in Birmingham Motorhead are here to stay for a while yet like Lemmy says "We Are Motorhead And We Play Rock 'N' Roll" and they certainly do that.
