So many transitions. UFO has been there. Do you wish for the classic early Eighties UFO with Michael Schenker? Or maybe the Nineties redux with the same? Or maybe your first experience is with Phil Mogg and guitar hero Vinnie Moore in the 21st century. Well, the Best of the Decade is the latter. This is the current UFO: heavy on blues rock with tons of melody and hooks. Is this representative arena rock that hade them famous? Longtime fans stay steady. Best of the Decade is the best of UFO in the last ten years, and it’s a perfect picture of this great band in this day.
While this is a fine representation of current UFO, I think it could have been better. Two CDs should have been offered. The first should have been a greatest hits of the last 10 years from the studio. Yes, Baby Blue is included! The second disc should have been a live set that includes both the best from the last decade but also those seminal song for which UFO is famous. This would have been better than mixing the live numbers in with the studio pieces, as the disc now stands. Nevertheless, this is classic and current UFO. I dig it and so should you, especially if you’re a fan.
