Search - Motorhead :: Orgasmatron

Amazing lyrics, cool songs and a weird production

"The majority of the songs are just great, the guitars makes you forget evrything about Eddie (and Robbo, whom you allready forgot), and the drums are really good. But still, it sounds as someone put a carpet over your speakers. OK, maybe not that bad, but on CD this album does not sound as it should sound, that is: heavy, fast and just plain dirty.



But still, some songs does work. DEAF FOREVER is just as mighty as you want it to be.

NOTHING UP MY SLEEVE shows how good Wursel and Phil are together. Really nice chorus.

RIDIN' WITH THE DRIVER should have been the title track. It does deserve it and it's just to weird to call the album Orgasmatron and then have a train on the album cover...

And the title song itself, the all so powerful ORGASMATRON, shows that Lemmy is a genius when it comes to writing lyrics.



Not their best, but REALLY far from their worst. To bad though, that Pete Gill didn't make more then one album; they could've used his drums on the following three albums untill Mikkey Dee took over."

"Originally put out in 1986.Wasn't this the record they finally released after a lengthy dispute with their label?After pulling this CD out for a spin,I discovered that Lemmy and crew had hired Avant Garde/electronic minimalist Bill Laswell to produce this album.About as good as just about any other Motorhead effort.Key tracks include "Deaf Forever","Built For Speed",the totally slammin' "Doctor Rock",title cut "Orgasmatron" and "Steal Your Face".A must-have for all true Motorhead followers."
