Customer Reviews
Classic
You have to own this CD and listen to some early Schenker guiter work. Doctor Doctor is a classic.

so darn good
Of course things change, but I still can find lots of stuff to like about it. Back in June of 2000 when I first heard this album, I told myself that it's the greatest hard rock album of all-time.

First of all, even though UFO is probably more of a party rock band that likes to rock out, that's not entirely what the band is about. The lead singer has an emotionally hoarse and pleasing voice, and it really elevates these hard rock songs to a new level. If the band had a different lead singer, these songs wouldn't have been nearly as good. He's a really gifted singer and really wants the listener to experience a feeling of love, instead of just feeling like "rocking out". He's all about emotion.

Also, the guitar playing is really good. I mean, REALLY good. Just like the lead singer, he can be emotional on his instrument. He's also extremely melodic and consistently-pleasing throughout the entire album. Sure, the guitar solos on this album are a bit longer compared to what other hard rock bands were doing at the time, but remember, everything about this band seems to be about emotion and taking their music a bit further than other rockers at the time.

My favorite songs would be "doctor doctor" "crystal light" and "queen of the deep". By the way, my version of this album begins with the song "too young to know" and I recommend you find the version with this song as the opening track because this track order is better, in my opinion.

Phenomenon
A MUST for any UFO fan . . if you're new or never heard of them :( then you need to get this. They are timeless rock recordings that I have never got tired of hearing, since the late 70's. The three best, in order are: Obsession, Lights Out, Phenomenon . . . the other are good (some great) but they (UFO) would never top these three.
