The Story
Jerry Ewing of Classic Rock Magazine writes about the "Michael Schenker Group" album, "With heavy metal at the height of its popularity in the UK in 1980, MSG scored immediately. The razor sharp riffing of "Armed And Ready", the opening cut, immediately brings to mind the best of Schenker's work with UFO, whilst the more emphatic "Cry For The Nations" not only highlighted his own dexterity, but also allowed for Barden to prove himself something of a vocalist of note. "Bijou Pleasurette", "Into The Arena" and "Lost Horizon" merely continued to showcase what a wonderful talent lay in Schenker's nimble fingers. Most say that Schenker, in his MSG guise never recorded a better album than this. In 1980, Michael Schenker created his own little piece of metal history."
