5.0 out of 5 stars An under-rated collection of variety and depth., May 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Second (Audio CD)

Besides the well known Magic Carpet Ride the first seven songs are more or less as appealing, although more simple. One exception is Don't Step On The Grass Sam, a fine example of protest in their time. But wait! The best is yet to come! Starting from the eighth track, Disappointment Number (unknown), to the end is a medley that will slowly lift you off the ground and take you on a real carpet ride of rustic slide guitar and rippin' blues. A ten minute trip I highly recommend.

I'm a 13 year old floridian who's in to rock. I never thought I'd like my parent s generation of music. I was wrong. Steppenwolf has everything. A hard sound to a punk sound to a pop sound everything! guitar solos! BuyBuyBuyBuyBuyBuyBuy!

Steppenwolf the Second may be Steppenwolf's best overall album. It entirely features original material, without any ineffective tracks. This album is known for the excellent but overplayed Magic Carpet Ride, yet there were plenty of other highlights. The opening track rocks hard, and could have been another biker anthem along the lines of Born to Be Wild. There were plenty of other highlights including the rocking Don't Step On the Grass Sam, creative ballad Spiritual Fantasy, and well structured pop songs such as None of Your Doing and 28. 28 may have been partially hindered by Edmonton's sub-par vocals, but the song itself was a quality composition in lyrics, melody, and chord selection. A successful lengthy blues suite dominated the majority of the second side, before segueing into the hangover like final track, Reflections. This album is uniformly strong, and recommended for those who buy albums, rather than best-of compilations.
