Rocktopia: Michael Monroe - 'Sensory Overdrive' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Isabel Loeches: There was a big expectation after Hanoi Rocks broke up regarding what's next? for Michael Monroe, and his comeback last year saw the live album ' But now 'Sensory Overdrive', the long awaited studio album, is the candy that we sweet-tooths have been salivating for. The recordhas been produced in Los Angeles by the legendary Jack Douglas (who has worked in the past with big names like Cheap Trick, Patti Smith and John Lennon amongst others). Michael has surrounded himself with a great bunch of musicians consisting of his old mate, ex-Hanoi Rocks bassist Sami Yaffa (New York Dolls, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Mad Juana), whom he already worked with outside of Hanoi Rock in his 90's project Demolition 23, Ginger from The Wildhearts and ex-New York Dolls guitarist Steve Conte (Company of Wolves, Willy DeVille) on the guitars completing the combo with d!
rummer Karl Rosqvist (Danzig). No doubt that this album comes along with the quality promise. Read the full review on Rocktopia. http://ping.fm/DjPPC
