Overnight Sensation

Amazon.com
Motorhead endured glam metal without losing a stride, so why should Lemmy be intimidated by the alternative music revolution? On Overnight Sensation, Motorhead piledrives along as if their last album was 1986's Orgasmatron. This is snarling, unrepentant metal with a fistful of umlauts. Some of the songs groove a little more than the band's heaviest stuff, but there's certainly nothing here that's gonna make Lemmy wince a decade from now. --Jon Wiederhorn

Motorhead - 'Overnight Sensation' (CMC International).......2006-11-16

Good worthy follow-up to their 'Sacrifice' effort. Some fans say this CD is Motorhead's most diverse work in years.Still a great catalog title from Lemmy and crew,that's a true keeper.Well,to MOST Motorhead fans it is.Tracks that I thought made the grade were the metal gems,"Civil War","Eat The Gun",the humorous "Crazy Like A Fox" and the steady rocker "Shake The World". Also liked "Love Can't Buy You Money". It's just that I've got SO much Motorhead and I still don't have every one of their releases. Maybe half of their repertoire. Still churning out that must-have British heavy metal after all these years.

Excellent.......2006-09-28

This album is a little more diverse in style than a typical Motorhead album but it doesn't veer far from the proven path. Its a very solid effort by Lemmy and the gang and probably one of their five best albums.

Choice cuts: "I Don't Believe a Word", "Broken", and "Shake the World".

Lost there touch? HA!!!.......2006-01-18

Im a huge fan of Motorhead, and I hope to see them before I die. I own all there cds, and this cd is like any other album Motorhead releases. Its hard rocking and in the early 90's, each cd has a ballad. This cd has one amazing ballad, Dont belive a word. The rest are hard rocking numbers, as only Motorhead can do. Im so sick of hearing Ace of Spades is there finest hour and they havent done anything after the cd. Motorhead albums all are worth listening too, and none of them lose an edge from 75 to 05. Lemmy is 60 plus now and he still rocks harder then anyone else. Where is everyone's hero Ozzy? Oh right, retired. Maybe Lemmy is a robot, thats why he is damn durable and amazing.

A Pleasant Surprise.......2005-02-03

Being very much into early Motorhead and the Fast Eddie period, I had ignored most of Motorheads albums after 1916, the album not the year. But this cd is honestly one of the bands best ever. Its both more thrashy and melodic...definitely more crafted in songsmanship than later albums like Sacrifice, but not as slick (a good thing to me) as Bastards. Its also got a very unified feel to it.

The best compliment I can make about Overnight Sensation is that I now have to add at least four or five songs from it to my running list/cd compiliation of Motorheads best songs. And its a testament to this bands greatness that their best stuff will not even fit on two 80 minute cds anymore. Not that I am complaining.

Meat & Potatoes Metal.......2004-12-06

Thank God that Lemmy and his crew were NOT "overnight sensations," i.e., some one-hit wonder band, here today, gone tomorrow. No, rather, Motorhaed never went for easy fame. Rather, they put their noses to the grindstone and did it the old fashioned way: Endless touring, churning out meatgrinder music to make some eardrums bleed, cranking it up to 11.

"Overnight Sensation" is thematically more of the same for this consistent group: Friedrich Nietzsche watching a peep show. The opening tune, "Civil War" drew me to buy this disc: Death, destruction, demolition (3D), plus Mikkey D's killer drum solo opening the disc. But, lemmy's excellent bass riffs in songs like "Crazy Like a Fox" and the title cut, keep me coming back for more. Listen to the bass reverb in this last -- not all muddied up like the garbage you hear from those showoffs who blast their subwoofers in their cars to impress passersby. No, Lemmy's bass is clean and full of vibrato, without sacrificing raw power.

Some good Lemmy social commentary in "Eat the Gun" and "Murder Show." Some heretical Lemmy in "I Don't Believe A Word." And, who hasn't thought the same "I'm glad it's them and wasn't me" when hearing tragic news?
