Now, it’s generally recognized that UFO’s Strangers In The Night is one of the best live albums ever released, but their studio albums always fall short of classics. Sure, there are great songs on all their record, but they always throw in a filler track or two.
Lights Out is probably the best of the Schenker albums, because not only are the songs great, but the production from Ron Nevison is top drawer. Too Hot To Handle, Just Another Suicide (with killer Schenker solo), Lights Out, Getting Ready, and Love To Love are all classics. My favourite track is Lights Out, such a killer groove to this song and both Mogg and Schenker are on fire.
This album was their seventh release and it came out in ’77. The band are a lot older than people remember, and they were not a part of NWOBHM as some think.
Great record.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
