Phil has matured over the years into perhaps the best vocalist in rock today. Note that thats rock, not RaWk.
Dancing With St.Peter is all that you could wish for. Tight as a tight thing, expansive, emotive.
Jeff Kollman is stunning on guitar, and like the previous Mogg/Way album Chocolate Box, he never gets in the way. Rythmn is strong too. Shane Galaas is a joy to listen to, and BTW, live?, as entertaining as Keith Moon!
The bass is there, it too doesn't swamp.
Production is not glossy smooth, not wiped over with the same cloth of blandness that affects so much music these days. Excellent dynamic range on the CD.
As for Phil....What can I say. His writing improves with each release. His delivery can be sweet, sarcastic, ironic, vitriolic or just plain down'n'dirty rock.
I defy anybody to listen to the first verse of the title track and remain unmoved.
All in all, this is -NOT- a UFO CD. Nope. This is a Phil Mogg CD, he just happens to have a superb band behind him. I look forward to the next release from this lot.
Oh yeah, Micheal who?
