Hellraiser: Best of the Epic Years by MOTORHEAD [Audio CD]

Description: Performer Notes: Mot”rhead's short stay at Epic Records (1991-1992) marked a particularly uninspired period in the band's long career. Hellraiser collects seven songs from each of the albums it recorded (1991's 1916 and 1992's March or Die) and adds two songs that were recorded at the time but not released: "Dead Man's Hand" and one of the better songs here, "Eagle Rock." Lemmy seemingly was searching for some kind of mainstream rock success at this point. Both albums lack the fire of earlier Mot”rhead material and March or Die shows a shocking lack of toughness. "1916" provides the only highlight of the set, "Ramones" is a fast and fun ode to the brothers Ramone, "Going to Brazil" is a 12-bar rocker about going to Brazil, oddly enough, and "Angel City" is a boogified tribute to the Los Angeles rock scene. Elsewhere the band was dipping into weak epic balladry with "1916," bad blues with "You Better Run," lame generic heavy metal with "Hellraiser" and "Asylum Street," boring covers with "Cat Scratch Fever," and worst of all acoustic power ballads with "I Ain't No Nice Guy" featuring Ozzy and Lemmy croaking their way through some really dumb lyrics. Unsurprisingly, Mot”rhead's attempt to sell out failed miserably and by the next record the band was off a major label and back to doing what it does best; making loud, fast, and obnoxious records. If you are a Mot”rhead fanatic, you probably have all the material on Hellraiser already, but if you don't have it, don't get it as it is Mot”rhead at its worst. ~ Tim Sendra Producer: Ed Stasium, Pete Solley, Billy Sherwood Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Studio/Live: Studio Release Date: 2 June, 2003 Label: Epic Europe Dimensions: 12.5 x 1 x 14.3 centimeters (0.04 kg)
