Michael Schenker Group: Michael Schenker (guitar); Kelly Keeling (vocals); Seth Bernstien (keyboards); John Onder (bass); Shane Gaalaas (drums).

While a very different supporting cast joins Michael Schenker on Unforgiven, this 1999 collection of hard-rocking numbers and swirling guitar solos echoes the return to classic M.S.G. form first accomplished on 1996's Written in the Sand. As the guitarist proved decades ago, there's no mystical chemistry, no mysteriously unifying combination of talents necessary for Schenker to kick out the old-school heavy metal jams with verve and style. Schenker's appeal was always his energetic guitar performances and rich tone - of which there is plenty of on Unforgiven. Highlights include the old-time metal riffing on "Fat City N.O." and "Pilot of Your Soul," but there's plenty more where these satisfying throwbacks came from, as each number confidently delivers on the promise of Schenker's talent.

Ex-Baton Rouge vocalist Kelly Keeling maintains a strong presence with his Coverdale growling that while excessive, manages to stay out of Schenker's way. The two make a good pair, confident, stylized and unapologetically grounded in their '80s roots. Anyone who is at all inclined to buy traditional hard rock discs from the masters 20 years removed from their best work should consider Unforgiven, a satisfyingly nostalgic and muscular recording.

MSG's Unforgiven album sees the band move back into a heavier direction that is more reminiscent of their early eighties material. The album doesn't reach those heights but it is a step in the right direction. Kelly Keeling gives the vocalist job a shot and he performs very well. His range is not the best but he sings with a lot of passion, feel and melody which ultimately are the more important singing qualities. The album is solid yet unspectacular throughout however there a handful of standout tracks. Michael's solos are more reserved than normal but there is a lot of good guitar work from him nonetheless. "The Unforgiven" may not reach the brilliance of early UFO, but it certainly is a good listen.
