Album Review
Michael Schenker Group
Art and Music on Campus
By Jeff MacLennan
The Christmas season has
snuck up on us all again, and
with the Christmas season
comes an array of new album
releases. It seems that almost
every rock act has put together
some kind of effort. If not new _
material, they seem to have
fallen back on a “Greatest Hits”
or “Live” album release. One
of the better releases is “The
Michael Schenker Group.”
This album is Michael
Schenker’s second effort after
last year’s release of his first
solo album ironi6&1ly self-titled.
Schenker has played in many
other heavy metal acts, some of
which include “The Scorpions”
and his claim to fame as head
axeman in “U.F.O.”
For this new album Schenker
has put a new approach to his
music. He started by putting
together a totally new lineup.
His new frontline consists of
Chris Glen on bass, Gary
Bardon on lead vocals, key
boardist Paul Raymond and
new drummer Cozy Powell.
Schenker has also put much
more emphasis on his preludes.
He also introduces a tremen
dous crescendo effect. Evi
dence of this claim can be found
on such cuts as “But I Want
More” and “On and On.”
The album as a whole is laid
out extremely well. Starting
with “Are You Ready to Rock,”
Michael displays his use of
contagious rhythms and leads
you into “Attack of the Mad
Axeman.” This song is a
masterpiece in its composition,
starting out with fire, then
moving into two sections that
lessen the pace. Here
Schencker builds up again to his
original message.
A tasty ballad,“Never Trust a
Stranger,” was graced by the
addition of Stephan Stills on
backup vocals. The ballad adds
a change to the album that is
needed for Schenker’s final
assault. His attack consists of
two songs entitled “Looking for
Love” and “Secondary
Mating.” This completes
Michael’s second album in fine
fashion.
MSG is touring America and
with a fine follow-up to their
debut album, he should provide
an excellent show.
The album is full of good
heavy metal and catchy
rhythms. Among the reviewer’s
favorites are “Are You Ready to
Rock,” “On and On” and “But
1 Want More.” With Michael
Schenker behind the guitar, he
will always assure you of an
“Attack of the Mad Axeman.”
