Separate Motorhead’s 20th album from the Lemmy legend, and it’s a set of effective punk metal belters.
But the 67 year old frontman’s ravaged growl remains unique, unexpectedly suggesting a speed-damaged Louis Armstrong on the contemplative Dust And Glass.
Keep Your Power Dry sees enduring outlaw truisms coagulate into the gnomic, but the album’s fatally fractured by formulaic splayed sneaker guitar soloing.
The Motorhead machine still runs, if rather too noisily, but deserves a reputational retune of the kind Rick Rubin once gave Johnny Cash.
