Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Picture this; Traditional rock music that could hardly sound more classic, with gritty hooks, powerful riffs and leads, and lyrics full of eccentric humor, as well as a talent for observation and occasionally great depth. This is truly the case with UFO's newest release, 'The Visitor'. Due to the lineup of Mogg, Vinnie Moore, Andy Parker and Paul Raymond, it's no surprise that 'The Visitor' features the same musicality and energy which UFO fans have come to cherish from the band. Including almost a dozen new compositions, 'The Visitor' arrives in both CD and LP format.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great band that just keeps rocking and rolling along, June 3, 2009
By S. Smith (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Four-and-a-half stars, June 2, 2009
By Chris Jordan "seejordan" (Surrey, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
UFO continues with it's third album featuring the permanent replacement for guitarist Michael Schenker, Vinnie Moore. Phil Mogg is a genius at creating simple and eccentric lyrics with his unique voice, which like Phil Collins, never seems to age. He is complimented perfectly by guitar virtuoso Vinnie Moore who weaves his melodic high leads in and out of Phil's narratives. The band has become "heavy blues" oriented and the musicianship is above average, overall, due to it's strong rhythm section with both Andy Parker on drums (an origninal member since 1969) and Paul Raymond.

This band is not about pompous display. They allow their experience and talent to speak for itself and will be touring this album extensively. There are two hit singles on this album, as well, "Hell Driver" and "Stop Breaking Down". If anyone in the music business has any sense of decency they will promote these tracks to "top twenty" status.

Vinnie Moore has now proven himself. Currently he is the best all around guitarist in rock (surpassing Petrucci, Schenker, or Doug Aldrich). He is excellent at the following: acoustic, slide, dazzling alternate picking, jazz/fusion, tapping and sweep picking. Nuances of Eddie Van Halen, Michael Schenker and Eric Johnson are all prevalent in his playing style. Very impressed with this new release! Rock on UFO! See you in Vancouver, BC!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, UFO, June 10, 2009
By Kenneth L. Moffett (Los Angeles, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album ROCKS. I really liked You Are Here, but was a little disappointed with Monkey Puzzle. Thankfully, The Visitor hasn't let me down. I can't wait to see UFO again in October, 2009. If you like UFO buy this album now!
