A burst of energy, noise and filth.

The first time I heard this, I thought it was shit. The second time I realized it wasn't as bad as I first thought. I can imagine seeing them live, thinking these guys are crazy arseholes and loving the show but live shows and albums are completely different things. As well as listening to this madness I also read stuff on their page online and they really revel in all the anti-music, anti-melody structureless madness. I think that's really what they're aiming for, I just don't think they care about all fancy-pansy things like all that.

The band sounds like crazy people who listen to MOTORHEAD, TANKARD and the Macc Lads but thought they were all too tame so decided to get drunk and crazy. There's not a great deal of variety with them but it's actually pretty fun Rock N' Roll with a wee bit of the old NWOBHM and huge doses of pure madness.

The opener "Back On The Road" is a classic touring song, and pure MOTORHEAD. There's a real NWOBHM feel to it, done in what I already know it classic SPEEDBOOZER style. Best song on the album? There's not a great variety with it but its pretty decent and worth a listen. Second track "Drop The Nukes" is more chaotic, built around one sledge hammer of a riff and lyrics I could hardly understand beyond a few "Drop The Nukes". "Metal Punk" is pure MOTORHEAD. The opening riff is a nice one, and the vocals sound just like Lemmy. Some of the guitars on this one are pretty good, and all very Phil Campbell. "Violence And Noise" is what SPEEDBOOZER are all about. The song does exactly what it says on the tin; there is a furious pace, a really nice riff at the start. It's quite nice before the end when it gets all crazy with a voice screaming in your ear "Violence And Noise".

"Live Free - Stay Wild" has the most different intro, going all slow and melodic. You know that wasn't going to last very long, and when the song kicks in it kicks your arse. It shows they have the ability to have that variety, but just don't want to. They know what they want, and slow and melodic is not what they want. I do like "S/T", it is pure MOTORHEAD. All the album is like a Motorhead covers band but this one is a good song that I'd listen to again. Band: SPEEDBOOZER song: "Speedboozer" off the album "Speedboozer". It's always worth hearing the band's eponymous song, and "Speedboozer" is nothing to grab you really, it sounds exactly the same as the previous song "Maximum Force" but that's what they do. Count Von Emoslayer's vocals are as they are throughout the album, barely understandable. The bit of piano at the end is unexpected, but a nice way to end.

This is not going to be for everyone, and they'll do well if it's for anyone. It's all about MOTORHEAD and it's all about blind chaos and sheer madness. If you like all that then this is for you, if you want melody and structure then stay well clear of this

On first listen I was going to give this a 0/10 and to be honest, I think they'd love that. They'd revel in it. But on second listen it is actually a lot better than anything I could do so I'll give it a 4/10.
