Walk on Water

Savor Schenker while you can

Review Score:

(10/10)
This album was finally released on a U.S. label, and it's great that U.F.O. fans here in the states get to hear the so-called reunion LP at long last. I got to see him play with Mogg, Way, Raymond, and Parker at a show in Indianapolis about three years ago, and the CD was on sale that night for $20!! I didn't splurge that night, and have regretted it ever since. The LP shows what could have been over the years had Schenker stayed with the band. There's not a clinker in the entire set. From start to finish, "Walk on Water" is classic U.F.O.. The second solo in "Pushed to the Limit" sends chills up my spine everytime I hear it. The band explores every avenue of musical stylings they've become known for on the "new" CD. Unfortunately, this is a one time shot for now. It appears Schenker is putting out another MSG album with a new singer, and U.F.O.?, well, they're not U.F.O. without him. If you're a fan of either, get this CD in your collection today. (By the way, Schenker did play with the Scorpions on the unbelievable classic "Lovedrive" LP, and on the first Scorps offering "Lonesome Crow" he was actually a band member at age 17. His brother Rudolf is a founding member of the band.)
