The Rock and Roll Geek Show|Classic Albums Revisited - UFO - No Place To Run - Rock and Roll Geek Show 376 Episode
On this show I do another Classic Albums Revisited segment. This one is a great album from UFO called No Place To Run. I also give an update on the Throw Michael on a Plane fund, play show reviews from the Doobie Brothers, Green Day and ZZ Top/Steel Panther. Music by: Ace Frehley - Amazon UFO - Amazon Slayer - Amazon All Music Guide Review of No Place To Run: The first studio recording after the departure of guitarist Michael Schenker, No Place to Run/nset into motion UFO/'s critical and commercial decline. While only a/nslight adjustment to the band/'s successful hard rock formula, the/nmidtempo guitar rock bore much more of a resemblance to fading /'70s/nrockers like Bad Company than the coming NWOBHM. Fellow Brits like Def Leppard were cultivating a similar but much more exciting brand of simple, angular hard rock built for the millions of AC/DC-loving Americans, while UFO seemed to be chasing their stylistic tail. Louder and way more energetic, Def Leppard were poised to overtake the rock universe while UFO languished on No Place to Run. Tracks like /"This Fire Burns Tonight/" call to mind Jackson Brown-styled adult rock; meanwhile, any audience UFO might have built up over the harder-edged Schenker years was fleeing to acts like the Scorpions and Judas Priest, who were only getting heavier. To call No Place to Run/na middle-of-the-road miscalculation would be generous. The disc had/nalready aged badly when it was released and that hasn/'t changed in the/ndecades since.
