Problably the most underrated Motorhead-album.......2006-03-20

Rock N Roll is the second album with Phil Campbell and Wursel on guitar and Motorhead proves that they haven't lost anything to the old days with Eddie. In fact, they've problably gained a lot when it comes to musical-skills and inspiration.
Allthough, the album starts of kind of mediocre and the best songs are placed in the second half. Not that there are any bad songs, they just aren't in the "Masterpiece-class" with the majority of Motorhead's songs.

Rock 'N' Roll (7/10) - A good song, but without any doubt the weekest title track Motorhead has written. Nice lyrics though.

Eat the Rich (7/10) - Yes, the lyrics are funny and all but the chorus gets pretty annoying after a while.

Blackheart (8/10) - Has an awesome riff that saves the entire song. The crowd that shouts "Blackheart" in the background includes former drummer Pete Gill and Queens guitarist Brian May.

Stone Deaf in the USA (7/10) A strange echo in the background makes it a bit weird. Great solo in the end.

The Wolf (8/10) - The fastest one on the album. Sounds a lot like Mean Machine from Orgasmatron.

Traitor (8/10) - A great track in every way. Problably my favorite lyrics on the album.

Dogs (8/10) - Awesome chorus and guitars. The drums could be a bit faster though.

All for You (9/10) - It's really amzing that Motorhead could write a such sensitive song (these days they do it all the time). Should have been a hit, and it's really not to late for that.

Boogeyman (9/10) - It should have been the title track as it was ment to be from the beginning. A killer tune in every way.

*Cradle to the Grave (9/10) - Why, in God's holy name, did they left out this one from the album? It didn't deserve to be a B-side to Eat the Rich. It should've been the other way around.

*Just 'Cos You Got the Power (10/10) - Another bonus track, but it was made after the album was realesed. A huge shame, since it's one of the greatest songs ever by Motorhead. Thank God that they at least include it in the live-set now and then.

Oh, and don't buy the album without the bonus tracks. It almost isn't worth it. Or maybe it is, but you'll regret it.

Motorhead's Rock N Roll.......2006-03-02

I bought this along time ago on cassette. I enjoyed listening to it and I am looking forward went the new 2 disc edition is released. The songs and musicship is very good and it was good to see Philty back on drums.
The songs I liked were Traitor, Dogs and Rock N Roll. All for You could of and should of been radio bound. Overall another excellent Motorhead album.

The best 80s Motorhead after ACE OF SPADES........2003-05-02

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.

Very solid.......2002-09-28

This album did not receive the bestreviews at the time of its release but, looking back with hindsight, itýs clear itýs 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, itýs a EXTREMELY heavy album. THe punk ; rock swing is almost gone, itýs just sheer weight! The lyrics are, as usual, very good.

you can't boogie with the boogeyman.......2002-09-10

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...
