Horatio's Review:
Motörhead haven't made a bad album since 1992's dreadful 'March Or Die' and true to form 'Inferno' is another strong outing from a band which refuses to age or sacrifice quality.  This was one of the only worthwhile albums of 2004 and far exceeded anything recorded by Megadeth or Saxon, with Motörhead sticking to their guns and recording one of their heaviest albums yet.  That's a major accomplishment from a band whose leader is sixty years old this year.  I don't think this tops 'Sacrifice' or 'We Are Motörhead', but it equals them through all out rampages like 'Terminal Show', 'Killers', 'In The Name Of Tragedy', 'Life's A Bitch' and 'Fight'.  The sound is traditional Motörhead naturally, but somehow Lemmy manages to keep it fresh from album to album.  I'd take this album over 'Overkill' or 'Bomber' any day, that's how good it is.  Motörhead from 1993 to the present have arguably been the most consistent band in metal.  This album isn't perfect by any means, but the good outweighs the bad considerably.  'Fight' proves that a 60 year old man can play it as heavy as he wants.  Age means nothing.  No one's too old to thrash.  Dave Mustaine take note.  Lemmy owns him more than a heroin needle in 1988.  'Inferno' is probably the best album of 2005, as well.  I can't see myself bothering with anything this year that's why.
