Album opener “When Sun Comes Out” is an awesome dance-oriented rock song that blows your mind with phat bass lines and a kick drum that blasts through walls like the Kool-Aid Man. Stomping rhythms and dynamic melodies coalesce into a twisted new form of pop music that is fit for kings and ladies. Complex song arrangements and infinite sound spectrums numb your ears while the sick rhythms that only someone from Austria could build together mash your guts inside out. Humorous lyrics, crunchy distortion, and industrialized beats aren’t the only attraction with Bulbul, they blend their own uniquely weird take on electronica, hard rock, indie art-rock, and bass-oriented thick melodies for something just outside of the Jesus Lizard and Mr. Bungle. Damn good combustible rock that is impossible to put into any subcategory–unless that subcategory is ‘awesome’.

A constant surprise in the word of hard rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal, Motorhead grabs the umlauts by their horns and shits down their throats with their dense guitar assault and throaty vocals only Lemmy could provide with a toothy grin. Eleven new tracks on “Motorizer” proves that these boys still have what it takes as one of the most influential heavy rock ‘n’ roll bands on any continent. Can you believe they actually won a Grammy for the first time in 2005? Besides the fact that the Grammy’s are a total scam anyway, the fact that they were recognized so late just shows how absolutely fucking clueless those fucktards are. “Runaround Man” sounds like it emanated from one of the classic Motorhead albums while the rest can fuel up your motorcycle for the full ride. Nice!
