Got to Love them guys from Nora, continuning to release hard hitting hardcore in a way like no one else does. If you have listened to any of Nora previous stuff then you'll know what I mean, they have their own unique sound and do things quite differntely then most of the other hardcore bands.

Schenker can do better........2007-03-07

I was really dissapointed in this album."Anytime" is a great song,but the rest of the album pretty much stinks.As far as production quality,it sounds good,but the songs just seem kind of limp,and fail to evoke any kind of emotion.Also,Robin McAuley is a decent singer,but most of his lyrics seem a bit sophmoric.Put it this way,he's no Phil Mogg.If you want to hear some great Michael Schenker stuff,buy Essential UFO,or UFO's Strangers in the Night.

A worthy album.......2006-10-27

Save Yourself, by McAuley Schenker Group, was released in 1989. It sports 11 tracks, one being a bonus track, "Take Me Back." Also, an instrumental is included--"There Has to Be Another Way." Throughout, the guitar playing is proficient. Robin McAuley is a pleasing, expressive singer, too. The material is in a straight-ahead hard rock musical direction. I think that the songwriting is tight, the musicianship is solid, and the sound quality is gratifying. The compositions that I favor are "Anytime," "There Has to Be Another Way," "This Is My Heart," and "Take Me Back." The plaintive "Anytime" exhibits a winning, pretty chorus and well-crafted, regal-sounding guitar soloing. The somber "There Has to Be Another Way" is one of my favorite instrumentals (in general); it displays charming, elegant, mellifluous guitar work. The catchy "This Is My Heart" has an attractive refrain and nice guitar soloing, while the smooth "Take Me Back" displays majestic harmony vocals. As for the CD booklet, it includes the song lyrics, various black-and-white drawings, and a color photo of each member of the group. The disc is just over 51 minutes. Save Yourself is a recommendable album.

out-of-this-world.......2005-07-22

first of all, i think 1 of the greatest unsolved mysteries of all time is why didn't this band broke big time. i mean, the time was ripe with all the motley & jovi singles racking up the millions: yet this super catchy band gets lost in time, is a thing beyond me...

anyway, this album is among the top 3 greatest albums i've heard in my life. here is the song-by-song review:

1. Save Yourself - omg! here i'm sitting unknowingly in front of my pc with hi-vol, & all of a sudden the power of the song almost blows me away. this album is worth 5 star for this song only. what a solo, what a fine vocal performance! the word amazing was created 4 this. 15/10

2. Bad Boys - an ok rocker. a tad bit overly-commercial, accompanied by very good drum intro by Bodo Schgopf, Mcauley's pipes show a lot of attitude complementing schenker's wicked playing. 8/10

3. Anytime - what can i say about this song, except that this is among the top 5 ballads of all time. the emotion that slurs from schenker's guitar is nothing short phenomenal. 10/10

4. Get Down to Bizness - a very commercial track with an ordinary verse. saved at the last moment by the madman's 'V' - tronics, yet an ordinary track. 7/10

5. Shadow of the Night - A dark ballad accompanied by Schenker's moody solo & mcauley's heart-felt vocals. the use of a computerized vocal was very cool. 9/10

6. What We Need - An up-tempo track, although mcauley's pipes seem a bit strained. another short but masterful solo. take note of the blistering guitar lick. 8/10

7. I Am Your Radio - a great track. very enjoyable with a funny lyrics by McAuley/Stewart. full of melodic guitar snaps. 8/10

8. There Has to Be Another Way - a great instrumental, yet a bit short. 8/10

9. This Is My Heart - A heart-felt power ballad. written by all the band members, one of their best. 9/10

10. Destiny - Classic! the best lyrics I've seen in any msg song. truly amazing. 10/10

11. Take Me Back - I expected this to be a ballad, instead i was treated with one of the
greatest mid-tempo rockers in my life. the guitar is just 'spitzenclass'. 10/10

ooh! what an album. even the worst track is better than many of motley's best singles. Schenker is in the form of his life, and McAuley is just out-of-this-world. great cohesive playing from Newton//Mann/Schopf - respectively on bass,
guitars/keyboards & drums. it's a pity that amazon has confined highest no of stars to 5. other wise i would have given it an infinite no of them.....

Michael Schenker: Hair Metal god?.......2004-07-08

Nope. Not exactly. From the big hair days of the late-80's, this McAuley Schenker Group album probably isn't going to set anyone on a fevered search for their own personal copy. True, Michael Schenker's normal guitar brilliance is present, but mixed with too many synthesizer and drum machine sounds for those who remember his far superior early 80's solo stuff and his work with UFO. The sole saving grace for this album is the power ballad "Anytime". McAuley's voice is a tad shrill on much of the rest of the album, but this song is easily his best work as a vocalist. I can't say I'm normally a big ballad guy, but something about this song works for me. The rest of the album won't offend, but I doubt you'll find yourself reaching for it very often. (Although the band member's pictures on the back are good for an uncomfortable laugh. Who thought that was a good look anyway?)

SEEK OUT AND FIND THE LIGHT.......2005-10-08

This album is obviously not as good as "I want some", their 1999 release. It should be obtained at all costs by you. And while you're doing that you may get this album and begin to appreciate cool music.

LET'S SPAWN.......2005-05-08

Was recommended this by a friend, and what a wonderful, joyful bundle of fun it is! Never a dull moment, great musicianship and ends off with two killer songs - C'Mon Let's Spawn just begs to be played at full volume and Hey Joe has to surely be, alongside Cake's I Will Survive, the coolest cover version in the world..........ever! David Candy's solo stuff is worth checking out too.

Not soul music, but something else entirely.......2002-04-19

First off, I've read a couple of reviews of this record that have bashed it for not being true soul music. That's true, it's not. It's a combination of the old Nation of Ulysses sound and soul music, and the result is neither punk nor soul. It's the sound of the Make Up, and if you know them you know what I mean. This is my favorite record by Ian and co., and apparently it's their last. Which is a damn shame, since they kept getting better and better.

It's also a damn shame that these guys are grouped into that whole '90s indie movement and listed alongside the other usual suspects the college kids dig: Blonde Redhead, Belle and Sebastian, etc. They're really a killer rock group, with none of the emtional distance or pseudo-everything image the label 'indie' entails. No ringer t-shirts or ironic cover songs here (that version of 'Hey Joe' is played ncie and straight like it should be). Grab this and In Mass Mind and go from there.

Pretty good.......2001-12-11

this Cd is pretty good. Not as good as their other Cd's, but very soulful and fun, and intelligent. If you like this album, i suggest you check out maybe Jon Spencer, The Strokes, or The Statue Factor.

The best Make Up album next to "I Want Some".......2001-11-24

This is their last album. It's well produced and the songs are excellent. "I am pentagon" is sooooo cool it aint even possible to describe it. A friend of mine hated all the other Make Up albums, but he actually owns this one. It is more musicianly music? Maybe more psychedelic than any of the others (my friend is a big 13th Floor Elevators fan)too.

I dont know how these guys will hold up historically. They seem very retro in many ways. Not just how the dress and write songs, but even the way they record and produce their records. It's more a true retro replication than a Lenny Kravitz stylized retro chic thang. The gospel element certainly make them all the more bizarre.

Album Description

Fronted by gorgeous pop-nymph Jill Jackson, Speedway are the latest must-hear act from Scotland. Essentially a duo (keyboardist & drummer Jim Duguid co-writes all the songs with Jackson) the band have been augmented by Dan Sells (guitar) & Tom Swann (bass) for their live sound - creating a traditional female-fronted band dynamic that should see them mentioned in the same breathe as the Pretenders & the Eurythmics before too long. Their debut album is jam-packed with cracking pop-rock anthems that will form the ideal backdrop to rom-coms & girlie dramas throughout 2004. Second single 'Can't Turn Back' is a hustling American-style rocker reminiscent of Alannah Myles whilst 'Thinking About You Lately' recalls the dizzy brilliance of Texas. Elsewhere 'Walk On By' is epic romanticism & 'Always Here' is a requisite slow closer. A magnificent album that shocks with its maturity, composure & downright

Great New Music From Scotland.......2006-03-18

I was in Glasgow watching TV an saw a Video Clip with that gorgeous blod and a sound version of gennie in the bottle. I liked a lot, and asked for the CD, which is really a good novelty for those who like females singers' R&R bands

Delicious British pop rock band - pure catchy danceable fun!.......2005-09-27

Do you like Blondie, The Pretenders, or the Scottish band Texas? So how would you feel about a rocking guitar band fronted by a stunning nymph with the looks, the style, the attitude and - above all - the *voice* that can reduce you to putty? If you appreciate Sharleen Spiteri-style vocals and tomboyish swagger, and you understand the rare delight of sparkling pop melodies, then it's about time you made the acquaintance of Jill Jackson and Speedway.

Believe me, most bands would be thrilled to have written any one of these pop gems, let alone an album full. There were apparently several reasons why Save Yourself didn't become a huge commercial success in the UK. Firstly Speedway were signed to the wrong record label, who made them tour as a support act for the boy band Blue. Secondly the album opens with the only disappointing song, Juggernaut. If you listen to the sample tracks, please ignore Juggernaut! And heaven only knows why the record company insisted they release a cover song, Genie in a Bottle, as a single. Every other original song on the album is irresistably catchy. My personal favourites are Talk To Me, Seven Nights, Save Yourself, Walk on By, Last Surprise and Always Here.

This album can get anyone up and dancing, I guarantee it, and Jill Jackson's voice can only be described as gorgeous. If I haven't said enough already, then maybe you're looking for an album by a boy band? :)

Speedway's the new rock!.......2004-12-04

Speedway's really great. Their debut single - Christina Aguilera's Genie in a Bottle - really rocks. I fell in love with Speedway's music just from that song alone; imagine the rest of the songs in that album. Their songs are different and really catchy. Each individual song is superb. I have no favourites. No, let me correct that. I have my favourites - All the songs in Speedway's debut album are my favourites! This is a really must-buy album, if you ask me. The singer, Jill Jackson, has really a great voice. I have become a great fan of Speedway. Get the album! Or you'll regret it for sure...

Excellent.......2004-03-16

After seeing Speedway on tour with Blue, and not having heard of them before then, I left the concert thinking (apart from how amazing blue had been) that I definately wanted to hear more about Speedway. Having been described in some papers as poppy rock, and a rock band with a photogenic lead singer, their catchy tracks with noticable rocky edge left me eager to hear more. A few months later their 2nd single Can't Turn Back (follow up to a cover of Genie in A Bottle) was released, shortly followed by the debut album, save yourself. What can I say? It's been playin in my car cd player ever since I bought it. As well as the singles, there's loads of catchy tunes and a few slower tracks still with rocky edge. Personally I love track 4 - Overdrive. The melody and lyrics are catchy and I think it would do really well in the charts. The album opens with Juggernaut, another catchy rock number that before too long you can't help singing along to. But don't fear that the excellent start can't be maintained, the final tracks "All The Matters" and "Always Here" are as great as Juggernaut and In & Out. And all the tracks inbetween keep you hooked.
Even if you've not heard of Speedway, or heard their music, if you like anything with a rock edge to it, but not too hardcore - there's no screaming and screeching, believe me Jill can sin - then you'll love this album!

Exactly what modern-day indie-punk should be..........2006-10-09

This group of guys from Columbia, SC have been entertaining many fans for years in the local music scene, and have recently begun to demand attention from wider audiences, enough to gain them a spot on the 2005 Warped Tour lineup. This is the first full-length release from Burns Out Bright, and they not only continue to make their current fans salivate with pleasure, but they even step it up a notch with a wider palette of sonic euphoria. The sounds and songwriting on Save Yourself A Lifetime seem more mature and more developed than their past releases, but still retain a certain raw effect that shows that the band has no intentions of "selling out" to any mainstream ideas. In fact, a decent portion of the album contains lyrics that not only stick a middle finger up to today's mainstream rock, but also bring up questions of the current state of indie and punk music while begging for a revolution in the underground scene.

The music itself can sometimes sound slightly similar to many sub-genres in the indie and punk scenes, but never pigeonholes itself into any particular one, creating something original and fresh. The album is definitely worth buying, but if you ever get a chance to see this band live, don't miss it. Their shows are extremely energetic, and this is coming from someone who has seen them at least 5 times, and I've been blown away every single time. Whatever your taste in music, if you're looking for something fresh and unique, look no further than this album.
