4.0 out of 5 stars A solid rock album in the UFO Tradition, May 1, 2003

No, it's not Schenker, but it's very close. Archer's style is slick, tight, and worthy to be a part of the great UFO legacy. He doesn't overplay like Atomic Tommy, and I actually like this album more than most of the Chapman era stuff. Phil and Pete are up to their usual best, and the chemistry seems sound. My favorite tracks are "Borderline", "Running Up The Highway", and "Don't Want To Lose You". There's a good mix of Hard Rock and Blues that will keep your volume knob cranked high. Don't be turned off because it's not Schenker, because it ain't bad. Not bad at all

After a decade of bad reviews, a declining of the fan base, and almost ten years away from the lime light, Phil Mogg recruited long time and once original member Pete Way (bass), Laurence Archer (guitar), and Clive Edwards (drums) to record another album. "HIGH STAKES & DANGEROUS MEN" was released in 1992 but it didn't have the impact Mogg wished for. Several years later, Mr. Mogg says that this album is his favourite one together with "LIGHTS OUT" and "THE WILD, THE WILLING AND THE INNOCENT". I don't think UFO fans in general agree with Mogg that "HIGH STAKES..." is one of the finer but it is not a bad album.

With songs like the melodic "Don't want to lose you", the bluesy "Borderline" (the album's highlight) and the classic sounding "Primed for time" among others, this album is rather enjoyable even if it's far from UFO's best work.

This is the album which most die-hards know was the return on of the Gibson Thunderbird thumping Welshman-Pete Way,which completed the essential UFO element of Mogg/Way the core of UFO,yes I think UFO sounds best w/Schenker ,but Chapman also served them well(this particular album w/ Lawrence Archer).I remember the joy of driving to Boston, this disc being one of my primary goals,getting it & calling a friend of mine,an equally big UFO fan upon returning in the middle of the night waking her up over certain tracks(she wasn't angry) -memorable !
