- Brian Kachejian
- Steppenwolf (1968) “this was a true forerunner of metal and the songs here are kickbutt of heavy metal , particularily in the attitude department. BUt the songs are good too, the whole cd is filled with excellent songs like ‘sookie sookie’ and other hard rockers.
- The Second (1968) “”The Second” is the final work by the original band as formed, not taking the earlier incarnation, Sparrow, into account, and it seems to pack that punch.
- Steppenwolf 7 (1970) “The album did not meet my expectations it exceeded them. I had that album placed in my heart as a very good album. Hearing it at age 54 instead of age 13 I found that this really was a great album and I had really forgotten it’s qualities.
- Monster (1969) “Where did this come from? After the terrible At Your Birthday Party, Steppenwolf came back with possibly their best album. A blistering attack on abuses by our government and our involvement in Vietnam.
