UFO - You Are Here

The majority of UFO's latter day albums tend to have the same bluesy influence that their first few albums had, which is probably why they don't sound too dissimilar to Whitesnake nowadays. The guitar work is very well executed, however is also the only thing that really stands out. Most of the lyrical content here is consistently uninspired and simple, whereas the vocals, drums and bass do not have any outstanding qualities apart from the fact that they simply plod on with the simple song structures. I'd say it's their weakest album of the 21st century.

Ya, this is pretty tedious stuff. The band really seemed to be taking songwriting for granted about the time of this album.

Just a good album. My top tracks are Give It Up and Baby Blue.
