Motorhead's album "Bad Magic" is an outstanding example of the band's signature sound and attitude. Released in 2015, it is a powerful and energetic collection of songs that truly embodies the essence of Motorhead's music. From the very first track, "Victory or Die," the listener is greeted with the unmistakable gravelly vocals of Lemmy Kilmister, backed by the driving force of Phil Campbell on guitar and Mikkey Dee on drums. The band's raw, no-frills approach is clear throughout the album, with each song delivering a punch of relentless energy and aggression. One of the standout tracks on "Bad Magic" is "Electricity," a catchy and high-octane tune that showcases the band's ability to create memorable hooks while still maintaining their heavy sound. The lyrics, filled with references to the rock-and-roll lifestyle and the band's enduring legacy, only add to the overall impact of the song.

This was once the best thing going in the brew game in the Twin Port but with the new Brewer being the failed TWin Cities brewer I am reluctant to even trek there.

The lyrics, filled with references to the rock-and-roll lifestyle and the band's enduring legacy, only add to the overall impact of the song. Another highlight of the album is the gritty and bluesy "Fire Storm Hotel," which features a blues-inspired guitar riff that adds a different dimension to Motorhead's sound. The track demonstrates the band's versatility and willingness to experiment while still staying true to their roots.
Thirsty Pagan Brewing
In May of 2006 Susan and Steve Knauss purchased the existing Twin Ports Brewing Co. This simple sentence gives insight to the simple approach that these two took in producing a wonderful company, Thirsty Pagan Brewing. Building on a firm foundation of pizza and beer, our two entrepreneurs quickly took a down and out location to a thriving destination. "We recognize our potential in focusing on just two things, pizza and beer. Do those two things correctly, and the world will come to us," says Steve Knauss; and obviously, they have. In February 2011, Gustave Axelson of the New York Times hit the road for a midwestern beer tour of northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Axelson's tour included a stop at Thirsty Pagan, but you'll have to read the New York Times article to find out the rest. Just recently, Thirsty Pagan has celebrated their 7th year anniversary. "We continue to fine tune our well oiled machine, and look out for our next great adventure, just around the corner!" What that is, Steve would not elude to. However, with the Pagan's pizza and beer as their foothold on the restaurant community, we can only imagine what these folks may have up their sleeves.

This was a nice stop on a weekday night when I was passing through town. They have live entertainment, which worried me at first, but it turned out delightful- a solo singer/acoustic guitarist. Read more

Pizza was a little more bland than I recall from last time but we absolutely still loved this place. I had their Octoberfest and it was pretty good, however, my friend had their Pilsner and man. Read more
Throughout the entire album, Motorhead's unique blend of punk, rock, and metal is evident, creating a sound that is instantly recognizable and undeniably powerful. Songs like "Shoot Out All of Your Lights" and "Tell Me Who to Kill" only further reinforce the band's reputation for delivering hard-hitting, no-nonsense rock. "Bad Magic" is a testament to Motorhead's longevity and dedication to their craft. Even in their later years, the band continued to produce high-quality music that showcased their unmatched energy and passion. It is a must-listen for any fan of hard rock and a fitting addition to Motorhead's legendary discography..
Reviews for "Unleashing the Demons Within: Exploring the Lyrics of Motorhead's Bad Magic"
1. Adam - ★★☆☆☆
I have been a long-time fan of Motorhead, but their album "Bad Magic" seriously disappointed me. The songs lacked the raw energy and power that I have come to expect from this band. Lemmy's vocals sounded tired and strained, and the instrumentals felt repetitive and uninspired. Overall, "Bad Magic" just didn't live up to the standards set by their previous albums, and I found myself skipping through most of the tracks.
2. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
As a fan of Motorhead's earlier works, I had high hopes for "Bad Magic," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The album lacked the iconic Motorhead sound that made me fall in love with them in the first place. The songs felt generic and lacked the punch that I associate with this band. Lemmy's voice sounded weak, and the lyrics seemed uninspired. It's a shame because I know Motorhead has the potential to create amazing music, but "Bad Magic" just didn't capture that magic for me.
3. Michael - ★★★☆☆
While I appreciate Motorhead's attempt to explore different musical territories, "Bad Magic" just didn't hit the mark for me. The experimentation fell flat, and the album lacked the grit and intensity that I expect from these rock legends. The production felt overpolished and took away from the rawness that makes Motorhead unique. Additionally, some of the tracks felt like fillers and did little to add depth to the album. Overall, "Bad Magic" felt like a missed opportunity to create something truly special.
4. Emma - ★★☆☆☆
"Bad Magic" by Motorhead left me underwhelmed. The album failed to deliver the adrenaline-fueled experience that the band is known for. The songs lacked the infectious hooks and memorable riffs that I love about Motorhead's music. The energy felt forced and artificial, especially when compared to their earlier releases. It pains me to say this as a long-time fan, but "Bad Magic" is a forgettable addition to Motorhead's discography.
