Product Description
Album Description
2009 album from the Classic Rock heroes. The three original band members, Phil Mogg (vocals), Andy Parker (drums) and Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards) plus American world-class guitarist Vinnie Moore composed more than 35 tracks for The Visitor, 10 of which form the basis for the album. The Visitor sees the band benefiting especially from their collaboration with Vinnie Moore, who joined UFO in autumn 2003 and has made an excellent impression. It's no surprise that The Visitor features the same musicality and energy which UFO fans have come to cherish from the band's tours in the past five years. Traditional rock music that could hardly sound more classic, with gritty hooks, Vinnie Moore's powerful riffs and leads, and Phil Mogg's lyrics full of eccentric humor, as well as a talent for observation and occasionally great depth.

UFO on lower altitude?,,

This review is from: Visitor (Audio CD)
It seems to be; "Visitor" is not as good as Walk on Water". Booklet info does not specify who composed the songs, but...Michael Schenker is absent and this could be the reason for less catchy compositions. Nevertheless it is still a good rocking CD.

A great band that just keeps rocking and rolling along,

This review is from: Visitor (Audio CD)
This is UFO's 20th studio album, and it's hardly the sound of a band fading quietly away. Instead it's just as vital and rocking as the stuff they were doing in the late 70's and early 80's.Phil Mogg's vocals still sound as clear and strong as ever, and Vinnie Moore throws down some serious guitar work here. There are several standout tracks on this release...my favorites are "Saving Me", "Hell Driver" and "Rock Ready"...all great bluesy classic rock tracks. I first saw UFO live in 1978 (with Michael Schenker playing lead guitar) on the 'Obsession' tour and have been a diehard fan ever since. UFO has changed guitarists and lineups along the way, but have always put out great music. Now with the original core of Mogg-Parker-Raymond, along with guitar master Vinnie Moore, they are still putting out great music and putting on great live shows. I've got tickets to see these guys when they come around in October on tour. Looking forward to hearing some of these songs live, especially "Saving Me". These guys still rock, and they can still rock out the live shows, so get this disc and go see them live! Long live UFO! 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Great Disc!,

This review is from: Visitor (Audio CD)
I have really enjoyed this UFO release. It's no "Walk on Water" or "Obsession", but it's still a great disc! My favorites are:Stranger in Town Living Proof Rock Ready Hell Driver Can't wait to go see UFO live in October! BTW- get the import release and you get a cool extra track "Dancing with St. Peter", which was originally done by Phil Mogg's side band- Sign of Four, great disc also! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

UFO Still Viable 30+ Years Later,

This review is from: Visitor (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of this band since the mid 70s. Back then they were creating some great music at a time where you only had so many bands to choose from, and IMO UFO laid the foundation for what eventually became the melodic rock genre. The 70s era culminated with the double live "Strangers In The Night", one of the best live albums of the 70s. After that, they struggled for a period of time with many line up changes and inconsistency. Yet like a fighter getting off the canvas at 9, UFO gets up punching with "The Visitor". The musicianship and vocals being top notch is a no brainer, as we're talking real musicians playing real music here. What is a nice surprise is how good the songs are. Far more bluesier than anything they've done in the past, there are a slew of good songs on this CD:Saving Me Helldriver Rock Ready Can't Buy A Thrill Villans & Thieves (my fav) Stranger In Town I've also seen them live and this band is lethal, performing not only a few newer cuts but all the old favorites as well. The three original members (Phil Mogg, Andy Parker and Paul Raymond) are joined by Vinnie Moore on guitar and Rob Deluca on bass. Vinnie is an incredible guitar player and fits in well with UFO as he can easily play all of Schenker's leads but also plays within the scope of the newer material. Rob is a skilled bass player who throws off a great vibe during the performance and does Pete Way justice on all the older stuff. You will get more than your money's worth if you go see these guys! |
