Our Take

The latest offering from legendary guitarist Michael Schenker and his band, Universal, is the kind of album that makes you want to strap on your air guitar and rock out like it's 1982. Packed with shredding solos, soaring vocals, and enough energy to power a small village, this album is a must-listen for fans of classic hard rock.

From the blistering opening track "Loyal to the Pack" to the epic closer "In Search of the Peace of Mind," Universal is a rollercoaster ride of headbanging riffs and infectious melodies. Schenker's guitar work is as masterful as ever, effortlessly blending technical prowess with raw emotion.

But it's not just Schenker who shines on this album - vocalist Ronnie Romero delivers powerhouse vocals that are equal parts grit and melody. Together, they form a dynamic duo that takes the listener on a journey through the highs and lows of rock and roll.

The production on Universal is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line clear and crisp. The earbook edition even comes with a 48-page booklet that gives fans an in-depth look at the making of the album, making it a must-have for collectors.

Overall, Universal is a triumph for the Michael Schenker Group, proving that old-school rock is alive and well in 2022. So crank up the volume, grab your leather jacket, and get ready to rock out to this killer album.
