Synopsis

Album Description
Limited edition digipak edition includes one bonus track: 'Dancing With St. Peter '. 2009 album from the Classic Rock heroes. The three original band members, Phil Mogg (vocals), Andy Parker (drums) and Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards) plus American world-class guitarist Vinnie Moore composed more than 35 tracks for The Visitor, 10 of which form the basis for the album. The Visitor sees the band benefiting especially from their collaboration with Vinnie Moore, who joined UFO in autumn 2003 and has made an excellent impression. It's no surprise that The Visitor features the same musicality and energy which UFO fans have come to cherish from the band's tours in the past five years. Traditional rock music that could hardly sound more classic, with gritty hooks, Vinnie Moore's powerful riffs and leads, and Phil Mogg's lyrics full of eccentric humor, as well as a talent for observation and occasionally great depth. Steamhammer.
 

CD Reviews

Bluesful ufo
Michael P. Dobey | colorado springs | 11/01/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"To me the greatest UFO discs are the straight hard rock ones (classic metal) and the band put out one of their best 'you are here" a few years back only to be followed by the bluesier 'monkey puzzle" which was a decent disc but not what 'you are here' was in quality or style. This disc is much better than 'monkey puzzle' even if it's a blues based hard rocker too. The songs are sharper and harder and phil moggs vocals and lyrics are better than the last disc by far. This is worth buying for hard rock fans who love and want melodic stylings as well. I had to buy this version to get the extra track; "dancing with st. peter" which is only on the import digipack. Every song is pretty good here and this disc should satisfy most Ufo fans even if they are hoping for a return to straighter hard rock like 'You are here' provided. Ufo keeps proving that they are excellent musicians and artists and this is a solid entry into their fantastic catalog that includes some of metals alltime best discs. If you have never heard UFO start with 'lights out' , "No heavy petting" , 'walk on water" , or 'you are here" and then grab this one. But if you are blues rockin fan then you'll dig this one too regardless."
