Brings back memories.... July 6, 2007
OK,if you can get past the big hair on the cover,inside you will find a little masterpiece of 80's nostalgia. This cd is Solid,if not spectacular.There is no reason to skip thru any of the tunes,just enjoy them all. I can remember buying this cd and cruising the open road while blaring Gimme Your Love,and Love is not a game, thru my speakers....oh man,has it really been 20 years since this thing has been released? MSG released 2 more cd's after this one,but in MY opinion,neither one matched the quality of this one. I guess it was a matter of Perfect Timing!
 McSG's best album... April 20, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
With the release of Perfect Timing Michael Schenker teamed up with Robin McAuley and put out a very good album with great songs, great playing and strong vocals. In all honesty McAuley was the best vocalist Schenker had worked since Phil Mogg in UFO. Gary Barden simply was too limited with his vocals and Graham Bonnett(while I personally like him) also is fairly limited. McAuley can handle anything from full out rockers too ballads. Schenker's playing is, as usual, great. I love how his playing can be so complex at times but still fit within the structure of the songs and his sense of melody is always strong.
Song Highlights include: Gimme Your Love, Here Today Gone Tomorrow, Love Is Not A Game, I Don't Wanna Lose and Rock Till You're Crazy.
Overall, this is a great, fun album. I don't understand people complaining about this being "hair metal". It's not like UFO or earlier MSG albums/music is thrash or hardcore metal. Schenker's music has always been powerful, but melodic. Perfect Timing provides all of that.
My favorite MSG album featuring Robin McAuley April 3, 2007

THE BAND: Michael Schenker (guitars), Robin McAuley (vocals), Steve Mann (keyboards/guitars), Rocky Newton (bass), Bodo Schopf (drums & percussion).
THE DISC: (1987) 10 tracks clocking in at approximately 43 minutes. Included with the disc is a 6-page booklet containing song titles/credits, song lyrics, one black & white band photo, and thank you's. 7 of the 10 songs written by McAuley & Schenker (the others written by a combination of band members). Recorded at PUK Studios, Denmark. Re-mastered and re-released several times with bonus tracks and/or edits - now an import. Label - Capital Records.
COMMENTS: Michael Schenker has a long list of albums/discs he's made over the decades, but he only made three with singer Robin McAuley. "Perfect Timing", "Save Yourself" (1989) and another titled "MSG" (1991)... of which I truly believe this "Perfect Timing" is the best of the three. "PT" is slick, polished hair/glam rock that leaned more to the commercial side of hard rock. Schenker and his trademark black & white Gibson Flying-V guitar is in top form - as ALL the songs here are solid. Highlights include the two hits "Love Is Not A Game" (perhaps Schenker's best tune with McAuley on vocals) and "Gimme Your Love"; the rockers "Here Today - Gone Tomorrow", "I Don't Wanna Lose", and "No Time For Losers"; and two typical 80's style power ballads in "Follow The Night" and "Time". I wore this vinyl record out back in the late 80's... and I still find myself going back to the "Perfect Timing" disc frequently. I dig the cover too - so 80's with the hair and outfits, it's not even funny. For me, this is/was a special album (5 stars).
Not one of Schenker's best but still a good album. November 23, 2005
This album gets knocked by many fans as a commercial sell-out, but I think about half the album is really good. I agree that Robin McAuley's hairdo on the cover looks ridiculous, but I like his slightly raspy voice. My favorites are Gimme Your Love, the ballads Love Is Not A Game and Time, I Don't Wanna Lose (great rhythm!), and Rock Till Your Crazy. The rest of the album is not bad either. I still have good memories of listening to this album my first year of college, much to the annoyance of my roommate. I think the next album, Save Yourself, is as good as this album but I never got into the third album with McAuley.
Still a great LP September 6, 2005

As tacky as putting the mullet on the cover and even the multi-layered vocal tracks, this CD still rocks for it's age. The best of the three (of this lineup) in my opinion, but I've been a UFO/MSG fan for as long as I can remember. This goes for a lot of bands from the 80's that were good but have been forgotten. Unfortunately, management back then called for these cheeseball tactics and even still do this to the new bands. I mean for real everyone, do you think Marylin Manson goes Christmas shopping in his bad makeup and leather poser outfits? I say "Play it, don't catagorize it" and grab this CD.
