Negative Positive
Title: This is a GREAT hard rock album!
Review: Even without Michael Schenker, MECHANIX is one of the best UFO albums ever, at least it's one of their most focused efforts. Even the two ballads, "Terri" and "Back Into My Life", are very well executed and pleasant. There's also a cover song, "Something Else", that sounds good, it's pure rock and roll.Ther rest of the songs have a special hard punch, with all the members delivering the goods. Phil Mogg's voice is absolutely crystal clear and strong here. As for Paul Chapman, of course he could not compete with Michael Schenker's virtuosity, but the good thing was: he did not even try! Instead of trying to emulate the master, Chapman instilled the songs with his particular signature and style, and the result was very satisfatory, displaying well constructed and melodic solos.MECHANIX is one of those lost gems that sometimes we find around. A GREAT album!
