This 1979 album is the 5th from the classic line up of Bad Company, one of the 70s greatest supergroups. It would be another three years before another was forthcoming
The first three albums from the group were absolute stormers, and essential to the collection of any lover of blues based rock. However, with the previous album (Burnin' Sky) the rot had set in a bit and the band started to sound a bit bored and jaded. This feeling comes to a head here, and pervades the whole album. There is still lots of powerful vocals and well played rock, but it often feels as though the band have run out of steam and are going through the motions. There just isn't the energy and passion that marked their earlier work. This was, however, a group of highly talented individuals, so even on an off day they are still pretty good. So there is enough good material here to warrant three stars, but this is more one for the completists.

This album has garnered mixed reviews over the years. In '79, it was seen as an almost-renaissance. I think this did a disservice to the two previous albums, Run with the Pack, and Burning Sky; that's another story, though. Desolation... is certainly a good record in its own right, but is not very immediate. A grower, then? Yes, George, a grower.
The hard-rock side was very well covered. Rock'n'Roll Fantasy had the sort of heavy, menacing groove that Rainbow had used the year before (Lady of the Lake, and LA Connection, both from Long Live Rock'n'Roll). Gone Gone Gone showed how good a songwriter Boz Burrell (RiP) was; Joe Walshian humour with funky hard rock. Darn great! Evil Wind is an inspired number too (and this time Rainbow used a Bad Co song as blueprint - hear No Release, from Difficult to Cure, '81). Ralphs' little solo at the end, with Burrell and Kirke getting funky again, is worth hearing several times. Shame it wasn't a bit longer.
Oh Atlanta is the more countrified Bad Co, like Simple Man and others. And Crazy Circles shows that acoustic numbers can be exciting. The other five tracks all have something to offer after a few plays. Rodgers is his usual classy self, of course.
Overall, recommended, unless you hate subtle hard rock albums!

After their first two albums, "Bad Co." and "Straight Shooter", Paul Rodgers and Bad Company never really hit their stride again. Sure, there were good songs on most of their albums, sometimes even great ones, but there were a lot of mediocrity as well, and the same thing goes for "Desolation Angels".
The best songs here are "Rock n' Roll Fantasy", "Gone, Gone, Gone" and the bluesy, harp-driven "Oh, Atlanta", but unfortunately they're also the only really remarkable songs here. The rest just sort of blends together, offering no great highlights, no memorable lyrics, hooks, riffs or anything.
It's not that this music is bad, you see, it's just uninspired, and not nearly as distinctive as their first two albums, or the output of Paul Rodgers' first band, Free.
All in all, "Desolation Angels" remains a mediocre record.

A super album you can listen to over and over again....
This album is a must for any Free, Bad Company & Paul Rogers fans. All ten songs have something to offer, with tracks such as Gone, Gone, Gone - which has a rocking edge to it,... Read more
