This was the album a mate lent to me when it came out that introduced me to the musical leanings and way of life I was to become. Once heard, there was no turning back. Hooked forever into the world of hard rock and metal. It has held a place in my heart ever since hence will always remain a favorite. I've never gotten sick of it and love it every time I listen to it.

When this came out, everyone had it and it was thrashed to death, specially 'Another Brick In The Wall'. So I chose not to like it as it was to commercial and I thought I was to cool to like what was popular. So it was only many years later when it had been forgotten that I had a decent listen to it and realized what the hype had been about. Now I love it to bits and listen to it often and those who thrashed it back in the day are over it. Ignorance can produce bliss.

UFO are the underdog gods. I discovered them on a Heavy Metal special on TV back in the day. ('Let it Roll'
off this album it was) During the Schenker years they put out a string of mind blowing albums. This is the ultimate showcase of tunes from a band that should of been the giants they deserved to be. [First added to this chart: 04/08/2022]

This is the pinnacle of how much buoyant happy fun an album can be. All songs a joy. They are one of a kind and this is their best. 04/24

Theoretically, this is the first album they made. Before the classic 3 Amigo's line up. It's just that it was released after they'd made a name for themselves with there other early albums. It's quite a way removed from what they become. 'Motorhead' & 'Iron Horse' being the only two tracks which feature Lemmy's raspy cigarette laden vocals, the rest being a lot more mellow from what I knew. But after a while the whole album grew on me. Now it sits among my favorite, 'Leaving Here' & 'Lost Johnny' being outstanding tracks. Worthy to have. 03/24

Parallel lines was always going to be hard to follow but she's done a fine job with this. Majority of tracks are in the same caliber. Apart from the hits, 'Accidents never Happen', 'Union City Blue', 'Living in the Real World' and the title track could grace a best of album. A few in the filler category but overall, solid effort
