"After 35 years of raging against conformity and injustice, Motörhead still cuts through bullshit with alacrity. Lemmy explained recently that the new album's title is strictly sarcastic, as the world is now owned by banks, not rock and roll enthusiasts. In the video for "Get Back in Line," one of the new songs the band has been performing live, the three Motörhead members approach a swank suite where bankers are engorging themselves on food and drink while throwing down cards that read "More Troops to Afghanistan" and "Break the Unions." Enter Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, who commence smashing furniture and physically assaulting fatcats. They really look like they're enjoying what millions of Americans fantasize doing to the "Too Big to Fail" set. You don't see Justin Timberlake or Lady Gaga attacking Wall Street kleptocrats in their videos, do you?"
