Music OK but not as good as his earlier work - my opinion.

I've read some of the other reviews on this CD and am surprised- It really rocks and the sound quality is good. Some very different stuff from Michael, more modern sounding rock and some updated lead guitar riffs.

Underrated Concept Album

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020

While Tales of Rock 'n' Roll (2006) is not like an early MSG album, it is a fantastic piece of work. Not only is this album different than earlier MSG recordings, it's frankly different from anything the Mad Axeman has EVER done! It is somewhat of a concept album and is a pre-cursor to Michael's current Michael Schenker Fest outings in that he utilizes the talents of older MSG singers on some of the tracks. You'll find songs written and recorded by Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet, Robin McAuley, Leif Sundin, Kelly Keeling and Chris Logan; all former MSG singers.

What sets this apart from the Michael Schenker Fest work is that the majority of the songs feature a unique Finnish (I believe) vocalist named Jari Tiura whose voice is quite powerful. Some people may not like the fact that this singer's accent comes through on many of the songs. Regardless, he has a great voice and is nothing like any vocalist with which Michael Schenker has ever worked. The songs flow into each other such that, if you want to burn a compilation with any of these tunes, you'll need to fade-in and fade-out each track. I remember being disappointed when Michael's next album saw him get back together with Gary Barden and Jari Tiura was gone! I think keeping Jari Tiura would have seen much better work from Schenker in the years that followed.

The album is very well-produced and the song-writing is strong throughout. If you are looking for lengthy solos, you won't find them here but the solos Michael lays down are very nice. I would say this is more akin to the Unforgiven (1998) album in the sense that it's heavily reliant on the strength of the songwriting over simply showcasing Michael's soloing.

If you like Michael Schenker's work but have never heard this album, I think you'll find this to be a hidden gem in his lengthy discography. Don't go in expecting Assault Attack; you won't get that here. You will; however, find an MSG album that is far superior to anything Michael Schenker has done since 2006. In fact, this is probably his best work of the 21st century. The song, "Blind Alley," is my personal favorite.

Tales ot Rock & Roll (MSG)

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2006

To me this album is something like Dreams & Expressions Michael's second electric instrumental album but with vocals,ofcourse there's a lot more non stop guitar jamming than Tales.. I like it for the fact that the former singers came back to record one song each,I like the new singer Jari Tiura this album I had to listen to it twice to get into it as there's no break in between each song,but the thing about MSG albums is that they're allways different, you don't know what they're gonna sound like but the guitar playing it's allways gonna be great and since he's had different singers it has to sound different with this album you get a little taste of every singer that's been in MSG and that Pete Way plays the bass on it even do I like Reverand Jones on bass better not to take anything away from Pete Way,so I would recomend this MSG item to any Schenker fan!

Toxic Teleblaster

Pretty Good Especially the new Singer Jari Tiura

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2006

I would have to disagree with the previous reviewer on this one. I have most of M.W.S.'s works so maybe I am a bit biased but i say the songs are pretty good. It is not Assault Attack but I like it quite well. I agree the with others that say the lack of pauses in the CD make it at times blend too much. But I like this latest singer Jari Tiura more than any other of his singers since gary barden or graham bonnet and I would say after three or four complete listens I am pleased with the songs and the playing. Stand out songs are The Ride , Angel of Avalon, Dust to Dust, Big Deal, Rock'n'roll, & Tell a Story. Of course the other ex-msg singers are extra cool to hear again.

Neuer wahnsinns Klassiker von Schenker

Reviewed in Germany on May 25, 2006

Verified Purchase

25 years of MSG müssen irgendwie gefeiert werden und der Meister

macht sich selber das grösste Geschenk. Über ein Jahr hat es gedauert bis diese Scheibe endlich ím Kasten war und zwar deshalb, weil hier alle MSG Sänger mitbeteiligt waren, die jemals mit ihm im Studio waren, diese haben je einen Song eingesungen, der Rest vom neuen amtlichen Shouter dem Finnen

Jari Tiura. Ursprünglich hätte dies mal eine UFO Platte werden sollen, doch es kam nicht dazu, dafür spielt Pete Way den Bass bei sämtlichen Stücken, an den Drums sitzt Jeff Martin.

Die CD ist wie eine Mix-CD aufgebaut, d.h. alle Stücke gehen nahtlos ineinander über, stellt man sich komisch vor aber es wirkt! Überhaupt besitzt diese CD viele Überraschungen: beim ersten Hören kommt sie etwas brachial rüber, doch mit jedem weiteren Hören erkennt man neue Sounds und Melodien und die ganze Schönheit dieses Gesamtkunstwerkes entwíckelt sich von mal zu mal.Es ist eine Reise auf die uns Herr Schenker mitnímmt, die ich gerne wieder und wieder neu entdecken möchte.

Anspieltipps:The Ride, Dust To Dust, Love Trade mit Jari Tiura,

Angel Of Avalon mit Leif Sundin und die zwei grössten Highlights sind einmal Tell A Story mit Robin Mc Auley und als absoluter Höhepunkt Rock n Roll mit Graham Bonnet.

Toll ist auch der Spannungsbogen der Songs und die Verteilung der Sänger.Wer Michael Schenker abgeschrieben hat sollte jetzt unbedingt hier reinhören und zwar bewusst! Keep on rockin`!

Better on paper

When I heard Finnish singer Jari Tiura had joined Michael Schenker's group of musicians I was very happy for him. I saw band live at Sweden Rock Festival and they were great. But...
This album is difficult. It is basicly a long piece of music that has been chopped to the pieces that are the songs. Michael solos well. Riffs are ok even a bit traditional. If you have the first two MSG albums you know what the riffs are like. The singers are the weak link. Well the melodies and lyrics are. Singers do sing well I've played this album a plenty of times and still can't remember the songs. Maybe it needs and deserves more concentration but I'm not sure if I'm willing to put in the effort this album needs.

Ich bin seit 1978 UFO/Michael Schenker Fan und habe natürlich alle UFO und MSG-Alben. Seit "Walk On Water", "Written In The Sand" und "The Michael Schenker Story live" ging es für mich eigentlich mit Schenker nur bergab. Erst hat er UFO runtergewirtschaftet, dann teilweise parallel MSG. Alle Alben nach "Written In The Sand" fielen durch schlechte Produktion auf. Zudem gab es neben einigen Supersongs viel Füllmaterial. Die Krönung war, dass bei Arachnophobiac wegen Ausnüchterungskur des Protagonisten ein fremder Gitarrist einige Soli spielte. Nichts desto trotz war die Freude groß, als Ende 2004 das soeben erschienene Album für das Frühjahr 2005 (!) angekündigt wurde. Das es dann ein Jahr länger auf sich warten ließ, mußte ja bedeuten, dass es sehr gut werden wird. Die von mir bei AOL geladene Maxi-CD "Revolution Mind" bestätigte dann meine Hoffnung. Das war's dann aber auch. Ich habe "Tales Of Rock'n'Roll nun insgesamt 5mal gehört, in der Hoffnung, dass es dann Klick macht - anspruchsvollere Musik muß man halt öfter hören. Aber es passiert nichts. Der Sänger gefällt mir nicht, er bringt zu selten guten Melodiebögen rüber (die Sänger waren für mich bei MSG immer das Hauptübel - ist allerdings rein subjektiv) und die Vielzahl der Songs ist ohne Leben und zudem ist der Sound bei den meisten Songs steril und knochentrocken. Für mich ragt eigentlich nur "Big Deal" aus dem Brei heraus. Dann gibt es noch 2, 3 weitere Songs die O.K. sind, aber was soll der Rest sein? Unter dem Eindruck dieses Albums hätte ich mir die Karten für das Konzert in Oberhausen nicht gekauft.
