The line up and album that no one remembers. It’s a weird one. Phil Mogg is the only ever present member on the album and I think it’s safe to say this is UFO’s AOR album. The keys are the dominant force here, giving it that AOR sound, although Atomik Tommy M does his best to give proceedings a much needed dose of rock, it’s a losing battle though as the production is very clean sounding.
The songs are all quite commercial with an eye on American radio diluting what made UFO so good. Occasionally they do shake their heads and deliver a somewhat rockin’ tune that befits their name and Meanstreets does its best with Tommy ripping it up on the guitar. Somewhat contradictory though, I go for Name Of Love as my favourite tune as they bring together the crunch with the radio friendly sounds to create a great track.
If you’re an AOR fan then you may get off big time on this album, but I like my UFO with, well more UFO if that makes sense.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
