It's alright

Review Score: (6/10)
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.
