"Stunning guitar work!Absolutely mind blowing!Never mind the reviews that criticize the drumming,believe me it does'nt matter.In a world full of shredders and repetitive grunge guitarist's Michael Schenker is a breath of fresh air!(just be thankfull we still have musicians like him still recording)This disc is as good if not better than Adventures Of The Imagination and Dreams And Expressions.Michael is in my opinion one of the top five guitarist's on earth.If you are a fan and don't have this in your collection you're really missing out."
"Oddly Enough"

"I finally purchased this cd, I was an idiot for waiting so long. But married with kids takes priority. Schenker plays all the instruments on this one. This cd is so good, from the 1st song to the last. Great riffs, heavy rythyms and very fast soloing with that trademark tone. Michael is not content to live off the past, but is breaking new ground with every new cd. This cd is a must for every guitar lover, trax 1-4 are my favs, but all are top notch. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was the drum and bass production was weak..."
Michael Plays All The Instruments....

"If you could see the 3 back cover photos of the band members, it is actually Michael Schenker in all 3 pictures.
He's dressed "rasta man" style as the bass player (aka Harry Cobham) and in drag for the female drummer (aka Kathy Brown). This is a true solo album in all respects.
What really stands out is Michael's guitar, da! Unlike Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore etc... the list goes on and on, Schenker can just flat out rock. The true test of a good album it's ability to demand repeated listenings....and Odd Trio delivers. In summation class, you buy a Michael Schenker album to hear the "Mad Axeman" work his magic on the guitar. You don't buy it for the drum fills or bass solos. I give it 5 stars and rest my case."
Michael Schenker Makes Other Guitarists Sound Rubbish

"This album is gold-dust - I cannot say how thankful I am that I bought this album when I eventually found it via a friend. Schenker deserves a Knighthood for the genius-level guitarwork and the sheer originality of the compositions of this CD. After the atmospheric intro track, it's straight into four stunning multi-layered riff/solo s of sheer talent. Then its another five tracks of greatness where the standard hardly drops any. The sound is more raw than a circular saw cutting glass. Schenker can actually make his guitar sound like World-War II weaponry just got plugged in to your hi-fi. Admittedly, since Michael plays drums and bass as well on this CD, the drums and bass are very basic. Of course, though, it doesn't matter. Imagine the sheer opposite of pansy 'processed' guitar - say something like Gary Moore's 'thunder-claws' sound. Then tripple the rawness and shove the guitar right to the front of the mix and add four tons of testosterone - and it sounds as though Michael's actually playing right there in the room with you. Try starting with Welcome (Track 4) at full blast - it's like a Messerschmitt engine starting up and spitting fire at you. I give up - how can you describe Schenker's sound? It's exactly right - that's what it is. Somebody got rock guitar exactly right - and they didn't need any computers to do it.[...]"
