5.0 out of 5 stars Best Studio Album from UFO, March 22, 2003

By	Sean Quinn "dementia13" (Jackson, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

UFO too often had trouble coming up with a complete album of great songs, but this is one where they hit the nail on the head. And it leaves you feeling like the nail. This is a wall-to-wall intense blast. Okay, there are a couple of ballads, and they're good ones. Michael Schenker's guitar playing veers from breathtakingly beautiful to insanely wild, and no other studio effort of theirs lets him cut loose so brilliantly. Members of Ten Years After handled the production and the keyboards, and they gave this disc exactly the sound it needed (another sore spot with too much of their work). The emotional lyrics throw wood on the fire, and the rhythm section knows when to be ferocious and when to lay back. The album closes with an achingly beautiful instrumental, which is necessary to cool you down after "Too Much of Nothing" has laid waste to you. Look at how many songs from this album went on "Strangers in the Night", and you'll see where their good tracks are at. This album needs to be given the respect it deserves as one of the very best hard rock albums ever- I mean, EVER, recorded.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2nd Favorite UFO Album, June 21, 2004

By	R. Gorham "RCG2" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

In the mid 1970's UFO had a string of 4 brilliant studio albums... those being "Force It" (1975), "No Heavy Petting" (1976), "Lights Out" (1977) and "Obsession" (1978). Not to mention the incredible live album ("Strangers In The Night") released just after "Obsession" in the same year. Five first-rate albums in four years... amazing! All are now considered classic, some more so than others. I personally pick "Lights Out" as my favorite because it's solid all the way through and my all-time 2 favorite UFO songs come from the album ("Love To Love" and the ripping title track). "Force It" is a close 2nd place though... this album is just as solid. "Strangers In The Night" (live) featured 5 of its 15 tracks from "Force It" ("Shoot Shoot", "Mother Mary", "This Kids", "Let It Roll", and "Out In The Street"). The other two tracks from "Force It" that can not go without mention are "Too Much Of Nothing" (a great rocker), and the ballad "High Flyer" (with a great Schenker solo). Mogg, Schenker, and drummer Parker all continue to shine on "Force It". Great album from a very underrated band.

4.0 out of 5 stars Try explaining THIS cover to your parents, March 9, 2004

By	William J. Eichelberger "I will not go quietly" (Ft. Thomas, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not sure what's going on on the cover, but inside is some impressive rock and roll and that's what counts. Picking up where Phenomenon left off, Force It takes a big step forward toward the classic sounds of No Heavy Petting, Lights Out and Obsession with five instantly recognizable UFO classics, Let It Roll, Shoot Shoot, Out In The Street, Mother Mary and This Kids. A great album, well worth the import price, but you're on you own if you leave it where your parents can see it. I'd just as soon not think about it.
