After an extended tour, Michael Schenker has returned to add another flagstone to the mosaic of his creative work, seamlessly tying in with his grandiose albums of the 80s. This has been done with so many surprises that it almost defies comprehension. Punchy and compelling new tracks - ranging from unadorned, melodious hard rock to the occasional bluesy sound, the new album is largely distinguished by an immense enthusiasm for playing the guitar, its rich variety and the participation of international superstars. How Long(3 Generations Guitar Battle Version) constitutes a special treat, and involves Michael Schenker, Leslie West and Michael Amott engaging in the ultimate three-generation battle on the guitar. Other guests include Carmine Appice, Chris Slade and William Shatner!
