Motörhead: Bad Magic (180g) [BMG]

Why you'll love it

Back on 180g vinyl, Bad Magic is the last studio album Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee made together, recorded live in the room in Los Angeles with Cameron Webb. It earned an ECHO Award nomination and ends with a tearing cover of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil".

This edition

• 180g vinyl
• Thirteen tracks, as on the 2015 album

About the album

Motörhead made 22 studio albums in 40 years, and Bad Magic, out in August 2015, was the last. Producer Cameron Webb was back, and this time, Mikkey Dee said, the band wrote in the studio and recorded together, more or less live, instead of piecing parts together one at a time. You can hear it: "Victory Or Die" and "Thunder & Lightning" come out of the speakers like the three of them are standing right there.

"When The Sky Comes Looking For You" was the one song from the album they played on stage, and the closing "Sympathy For The Devil" fits Lemmy's growl like an old leather jacket. Lemmy died four months later, and Campbell and Dee called it a day. It's a loud, proud last word. Play it loud; anything else would be rude.
