4.0 out of 5 stars Steppenwolf turns to the psychedelia of "Magic Carpet Ride", 17 Mar 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
If "Born to Wild" is the ultimate biker anthem then Steppenwolf's next hit, "Magic Carpet Ride," tries to achieve the same prominence as a psychedelic dance number. The song made it to #3 on the Billboard charts and got the "Steppenwolf the Second" album to the same position on the album chart. This 1969 album follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessor, although there is clearly a bit less of the blues this time around thrown into the hard rock mix. There is even an acoustic track, "Spiritual Fantasy," which does seem a bit out of place, especially compared to the funky guitar-organ groove of "Magic Carpet Ride."

At this point the focal points of the group are clearly John Kay on vocals and guitar and the underappreciated Goldy McJohn wrecking serious havoc with his keyboard playing. The biggest difference between the first pair of Steppenwolf albums is that this time Kay is writing the best songs on the album, with "Tighten Up Your Wig" and "Don't Step on the Grass Sam" (complete with the drug bust at the end of the song), being the best of the rest after "Magic Carpet Ride," which also has some of the most interesting lyrics penned by Kay. Overall, the top is not as high but the bottom is not as low for this second album, so they grade out about the same, which is why the double-CD set that puts them together makes a lot of sense.

My problem with these early Steppenwolf albums remains the same idiosyncratic caveat it has always been. My first Steppenwolf album was "Steppenwolf Live," which was essentially a greatest hits album, and it is one of my favorite all-time live albums (even if it is a "faux" one produced in the studio). The energy and drive on that album just makes those same songs on these first couple of albums suffer in comparison. The two mega-hits hold up the best, but once you hear that double-album the rest of your Steppenwolf collection is going to get less play.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steppenwolf the Second... but not second rate!, 7 Feb 2007
By VEG (UK) - See all my reviews
Fame found the band with the release of the debut album and Born to be Wild, so they returned to the studio only months later to record the follow-up entitled 'The Second...'

Now, there are those who would say that The Second was rushed, and a bit patchy. There's perhaps some truth in that but to me it's still a strong album. The album kicks off with Faster than the Speed of Life, another punchy Mars Bonfire-penned song, and other highlights I'd recommend are Magic Carpet Ride (of course), Tighten Up Your Wig (a re-write of Junior Wells' Messin With the Kid) and Don't Step on the Grass, Sam. The latter finishes with the sound effects of a drugs bust - even the sound of the gear being flushed down the loo, so no prizes for guessing what the song's about! The album finishes with a suite of songs that run into one another - Disappointment Number (Unknown) through to Reflections. These songs have a improvised, jam feel about them, and capture what the band must have sounded like live at this time.

Steppenwolf were so much more than Born to be Wild!!

Buy this and Play it Loud!
