He reflects on the band's successful trajectory through the 1970s, marked by iconic albums and the departure of guitarist Michael Schenker, which led to the introduction of Paul Chapman. Peters discusses the challenges the band faced during the album's production, including lineup changes and the decision to self-produce, which resulted in a more costly and less cohesive project. He highlights the contrasting styles of the album's two sides, noting that while some tracks resonate with the band's classic sound, others feel disjointed and lack the spark of their earlier work.As Peters analyses individual tracks, he expresses mixed feelings about the album's overall quality. He acknowledges the musicianship of the band members but feels that the album doesn't quite capture the energy and inspiration of their previous releases. Despite its flaws, he admits to enjoying the album, attributing this to his long-standing affection for the band. The episode culminates in Peters reflecting on the evolution of UFO's sound and the challenges they faced in the changing musical landscape of the early 1980s, ultimately concluding that while the album has its merits, it falls short of the greatness of their earlier works.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Music from a Lifetime01:18 Chains Chains02:29 Lineup Changes and Production Challenges05:41 Long Gone06:39 Exploring Side A: Track Highlights09:51 Diving into Side B: A Shift in ...
