Rating: The Motörhead's whores. No definition could be more fitting. At the peak of their success, Lemmy & Friends parade around the music halls with this all-female band, even if, when it comes to hair, they could probably rival the aforementioned godfathers (sorry for the image).
"Demolition" (1980) is their debut, and it oozes hard 'n' heavy in every track. Warning - Controversial Statement: with ten tracks, these sorts of groupies sweep away an entire Motörhead discography. From the opening "Demolition Boys" to "Deadline," it's a celebration of gritty rock and early English metal. Highlighted is the most famous composition, "Race With The Devil." Not much else to figure out: throw on the record and shake your behind with a beer in hand, save Tangerine Dream for tomorrow.
For the writer, one of the greatest classic metal albums, both English and otherwise; suitable for young, prematurely balding beardy rockers with worn-out Converse, older metalheads, chubby roughnecks, stressed workers looking for an outlet that's not depressive drinking.
Tracklist and Lyrics
03 Race With the Devil (02:52)
You'd better run
You'd better run
You'd better run from the Devil's gun
The race is on
The race is on
Now you'd better run from the Devil's gun
Strange things happen
If you stay
The Devil will catch you anyway
He'll seek you here
He'll seek you there
The Devil will seek you everywhere
And when he finds you
You'll soon find out
The Devil's fire just won't go out
He burns you up
From head to toe
The Devil's grip just won't let go

A musical fury, fresh and fun, without embellishments or dead points.
This music was not intended as 'the revenge of the blondes,' but simply as fucking rock heavy metal.
