This album, and especially the one that precedes it, Bridge The Gap, are the two best Schenker albums since the 80's. He seemed really inspired working with Doogie White, but Jesus, he needs to lose Michael Voss.
They're done recording the album. Andy Sneap has a window between Priest tours now, and if they're using him again to mix it, he's likely doing it right now.
It's an amazing album. Great musicianship, and the vocals are ridiculous. Hills Of Qartaba is my SOTY. Should also say that it's pretty heavy and the vocals are clean.
Gonna try and catch up with a few each day...

WOW, that must've been awesome. Love Blackfoot too!
Saw Krokus at my first ever concert in 1983 opening for Def Leppard, with Gary Moore third on the bill.
Headhunter still gets regular spins from me. A couple of their more recent albums are actually pretty decent too.
I actually prefer The Privilege Of Power to Thundersteel, but I went and edited out all of the junk between songs.
Inishmore is fantastic, and is my favorite of the Mike DiMeo albums.
OK, well I skipped right to 1981, but I'll go back and start from the beginning. Earliest year I might be able to do is 1970 though. I'll have to look at it.
I consider 1981 as my most indispensable year of music. If I could literally cram 15 albums in my Top 5, I would.
But, here's my Top 5...
Michael Schenker Group-MSG
UFO-The Wild The Willing And The Innocent
Def Leppard-High n Dry
Thin Lizzy-Renegade
Lucifer's Friend-Mean Machine
Jeesh, no one has really added anything. Cool if I compare notes on a few years? I was born in '68 but I'm not sure I can scratch together 5 albums from anything from the 60's.
I'm a real peripheral Styx fan, but the run of Pieces Of Eight-The Grand Illusion-Paradise Theater are must haves!
And Paradise Theater is but one more reason why I rank 1981 as my most indispensable year in music.
Awesome. I love Hammerfall, and I was so happy to finally see them live. My only complaint was the piped in backing vocals. I love listening to the show.
