Tracks:

a good disc from a great band.
It's not a classic hard rock disc though. This is a good ufo release and a good 1980's hard rock disc. And universally it's agreed that UFO released some of the best and true classic hard rock cd's (albums). The first three were psychedelic and hard rock and have their moments but from 1974's "phenomenom" through 1983's 'making contact" the band delivered powerful and highly influential albums. Their live disc 'strangers in the night' is also considered one of the best live rock albums of all time too. This one came after a three year break in 1986. It was mixed more slickly with keyboards right up front in the mix. Which sound good but it's similiar to many other discs out that year. In other words it is a good hard rock disc. But this is from a band that made GREAT hard discs that are among the best ever made. That being said , this is still worth owning but only after you buy the earlier releases or later releases starting with 1995's "walk on water" every release from 1995 on right up to 2008's 'the visitor" are very good to great discs. This disc isn't bad though it has good songs a few great ones like 'heavens gate" and 'meanstreets". Which are good enough to be on any UFO disc. But even a nongreat ufo disc is worth owning because these are melodic songs with a distinctive 1980's sound. THe Other releases are more timeless because they seem just to be straight hard rock though. The remaster has many bonus tracks and although I would say:" buy the other releases first" there is no reason NOT to get this decent release too. No band can make great discs all the time and a great bands average album is often better than most of the stuff out there.
