    The title of this disc may ring a bell. Previous albums from the Dust Eater Dogs were Motor (1998) and Oil (2001). Motoroil are those two records put together with two extra tunes. If you browse through the archives you'll find my original reviews of the two albums. To summarize, Motor is the raw rock album with screams and rap-like vocals, funky tunes and even some ska. Oil contains the same raw rock band with screams, better production and roots music influences. It was a more basic rock 'n roll sound compared to Motor. One of the bonus tracks is Sex Btm which was previously released on a compilation CD from Sitruunamaailma. It's a tune that would've fitted Motor perfectly. The other extra song is the demo version of Gecko Grip, one of the songs that will be on the next album. This song has almost a hardcore punk feel to its rock 'n roll sound. Without any doubt the Dust Eater Dogs form one of the most interesting bands from Finland.
