UFO Flexes its muscles.

Review Score: (10/10)
Another year, another vinyl triumph for UFO. One minor lineup change aside (Paul Raymond leaves and Neil Carter comes in to add a sax along with keys and rhythum guitar) and the Paul Chapman era cruises along with another platter full of tough and tender street sagas. Highlights are a plenty. Lead track "Chains Chains", title track, "Makin Moves", and "Long Gone" carry Mogg/Way and Co. full on into the 1980's. "Couldn't Get it Right", which is this albums equivalent to No Place to Run's "Money, Money", is probably the closest the band would come to an actual hit single. Another contender could be "Lonely Heart" a showcase for Carter's piano and horn. Chapman gets to rip it up on "Profession of Violence", "Moves" and "Gone". Only eight songs, which is a shame in its brevity but then again no filler and no covers (kind of a hit or miss thing for UFO anyway). Phil Mogg's voice never sounded better and WWI continues the magical journey which would end soon enough two years later with Making Contact. Like No Place to Run, this lp is very rare now but if you love early eighties hard rock with a melody you could do much worse.
