Review Score:

(2/10)
Alas, UFO is the victim of faded glory. "Covenant" may well prove to be one of the most egregious and half-hearted attempts (and a majorly lame one at that) of a once great rock band to save its members from total obscurity as the years roll by. File this one under, "Either put out next time or retire gracefully." Caveat emptor: serious UFO fans that know anything about anything should forego the "Covenant" CD in lieu of insomnia over what used to be. As an aside, and for those of you that need a taste of contemporary UFO (as opposed to, but necessarily in contradiction of "classic" UFO), check out "The Wild, the Willing, and the Innocent." Despite the absence of Michael Schenker, this album is worthy of Friday night contests with neighbors residing between thin walls about who can out-crank the other. In short, "Covenant" doesn't cut it by a long shot. And that's the brutal truth.
