I'm going to wait until everyone can readily purchase the album, but I'll set this up now for convenience's sake. List your runners up as well.

Nothing comes close to the nice boogie rock metal of Runaround man, but Rock out is a short tight neat number which cannot be beaten that easy either. Heores and Thousand names of God ain't bad either... Hard to decide... I'll wait a bit longer...

At the moment I'm enjoying English Rose quite a lot along with Runaround Man and Rock Out....im finding its all killer and no filler at the moment.

With a better beginning English rose would be top notch...

The beginning of English Rose is different, and that is what I like about it. It's a top notch song anyway...

I like the beginning of English Rose as well.
I cast my vote for Thousand names of God. That chorus gets me every time.
My runner ups:
When the Eagle Screams
Heroes
Buried Alive
One Short Life

My winner: When The Eagle Screams, as much as I love Thousand Names to death. There's something in the radio skit at the beginning, and how it's repeated at one point through the song. Beautiful. Huge riff/solo, too. Anyone knows what the song is about exactly? Something to do with the skit I presume.
Runner ups:
Thousand Names
Rock Out (with your cock out I might add)
One Short Life
Curious fact: the first time I heard Motorizer I thought it was boring, uninspired and limp. Then I hit Thousand Names, loved it and replayed the whole album at double the volume. It's not boring, uninspired or limp: it's quite amazing instead, thank you very much. So, considerations:
1. If you don't like Motorizer, replay it. It's one hell of an instant grower.
2. Always listen to Motorhead at high volume.
3. I'm clearly a psycho.
;D

I was torn between Thousand Names of God and When the Eagle Screams.
Notice how the guitar work sometimes sounds like America from Iron Fist? And the main riff is infectiously catchy.

Got my copy yesterday, and I listened to it 6 times throughout the day. I can't remember the last time I did that with a Motorhead
album!
I have to say, Runaround Man, Teach you how to sing the blues, Rock Out and When the eagle screams are brilliant, but so far my favourite is Back on the chain - awesome - absolutely love that
track!
Having said that, there is no filler on this album at all. It is a quick listen, I can't remember the last time Motorhead made a record that was so direct and to the point. It feels really focused, and it is the most consistent Motorhead album since Bastards, in my humble opinion.

lyrically I went with One short life, but to me English Rose sounds like the same song "Christine" just with different lyrics ... just got my copy this past Saturday so I will have to listen more for sure, only one week till I hear some of these Live I can't wait!!!

My copy finally arrived today and I've listened through once. On first listen I find it hit and miss.
Right now Runaround Man is best.
English Rose is pretty much the same song as Christine and Bad Woman comes to mind too, for that matter.
Thousand Names of God has a weak verse if you ask me. It grinds on monotonously (as Mike has pointed out with the album) and I keep expecting a hook where there should be one but it never comes. The chorus is better but I'm not liking the verse.
Rock Out is the most old school Motorhead style song.
I'm liking the album a lot more than Kiss of Death but I think the main difference is that Lemmy's lyrics are back up to standard.

I voted Rock Out. The lyrics aren't the best but it's really catchy and has that classic sound we've heard before on Ace of Spades, We Are Motorhead, Nothing up my Sleeve and probably loads more I can't be bothered to list right now.
Runaround Man and Back on the Chain are good too.
I'm not loving the album though. For me it's just OK and while most of the songs are fairly good, I don't see any of them joining the list of classics.
Time is Right is the worst song.
Many songs are let down by a poor verse. eg Thousand Names of God.

Lemmy is the only person in the world who can actually give 110%.
