| | TWAS 41: UFO, Ozzy Osbourne, g//z/r, Upper Crust |
 | | The demo-ish EP Ain't Misbehavin', in 1989, while it broke a long silence, was terminally disjointed and, in places, embarrassingly inane even by UFO's not particularly sophisticated standards, and seemed to hint at dire record-label difficulties. |
 | | The studio album High Stakes and Dangerous Men, which eventually emerged in 1992, didn't get a US issue until two or three years after its UK release, which turned out to be just as well, I think, as it's one of the saddest, most demoralized albums I've ever heard. |
 | | Phil Mogg, one of my very favorite rock singers, has always had a melancholy tinge to his voice, but on this album he sounds utterly dejected and lifeless, and the rest of the band seems to sleepwalk through the exercise in the same dolorous state. |
