Clutch Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Jez- What are your thoughts of the last couple from them? I'm a die hard UFO fan but I could not get into "You Are Here" at all and didn't check out "Monkey Puzzle" after that. Guess I'm gun shy.

I only got some of the later stuff quite recently ('Ain't Misbehavin'' was my cut off point) but I thought 'You Are Here' was ok without being mindblowing. I really like 'Monkey Puzzle' though and it is definitely the best thing they have done since 'Walk On Water' - I know Nick C was a big fan aswell. I haven't heard anything of 'The Visitor' but my hopes are quite high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFO, at least IMO, is a band that always bounces back. I might be gun shy but I haven't given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I agree, UFO will never go away and to be honest, I don't think they have ever done a really bad album, some alot better than others obviously, but none that I would really call rubbish. Hopefully this new one will fulfil expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I love their last two albums especially Monkey Puzzle. Be careful though...original pressings had a defect on track 9 but luckily Steamhammer replaced any copies free of charge! If you need to know about it I mention it on the HH reviews page for the Monkey Puzzle album. Having said that I would expect the chance of running into a dodgy copy nearly 3 years on pretty unlucky... I noticed on the new album they have included a new version of Dancing With St. Peter as a bonus. The song is originally on the Sign of 4 album...what a great track that is....wonder how the new version will sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up 'Monkey Puzzle' a couple of months back and guess what - It had the glitch on track 9. I don't know if Steamhammer will replace it now though!

Should do mate - why don't you drop 'em a line .... there's an email link towards the bottom of their homepage! I've put the link below. All you do is mail them the CD (without the case/booklet e.t.c.)...I think it took about 2 or less when I sent mine for replacement.
