you can't boogie with the boogeyman:
Wow, I can't believe nobody else has reviewed this classic. I feel compelled to write a quick review for it after reading another reviewer cutting on it elsewhere. This is one of my top five Motorhead albums (if not top three), and I own most of Motorhead's albums. "Eat The Rich", "Rock N' Roll", "Stone Deaf in the USA", "Boogeyman", "Blackheart", "All For You", and the rest of this monster all rock and rock hard. Why any Motorhead fan would rip on this masterpiece just boggles the mind. I don't have the newest edition yet so I can't say anything about the bonus tracks, but I wore out my cassette and a copy I made off the LP and I still love to hear these songs. Lemmy is at his raunchy, nasty best on several songs, yet shows intelligence and lyrical range on other tracks. If I were to introduce someone to the genius of Lemmy and Motorhead I would not hesitate to crank up this slab of greatness...
Very solid:
This album did not receive the bestreviews at the time of its release but, looking back with hindsight, it's clear it's a very good album. This is the album that brought back Philty Taylor on drums, and they still had Wurzel and Campbell on guitars. So, it's a EXTREMELY heavy album. THe punk ; rock swing is almost gone, it's just sheer weight! The lyrics are, as usual, very good.
The best 80s Motorhead after ACE OF SPADES.:
The rock, the whole rock, and nothing but the rock. ROCK 'N' ROLL has none of the duds that clutter IRON FIST and BOMBER, no filler (ORGASMATRON), and no power ballads (1916, MARCH OR DIE). The disc is worth buying for "Eat the Rich" alone, but you will also want to crank up "Rock and Roll," "The Wolf," and "Boogeyman." My one complaint is that this record is too good; it has spoiled me for the rest of Wurzel-era Motorhead.
