UFO-The Wild, The Willing and the Innocent (1981)

At the start of the 1980s, the British band UFO faced a new era without their lead guitarist Michael Schenker, and a year later without their keyboardist Paul Raymond. They began this new chapter with their ninth release, "The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent". To replace both musicians, they recruited guitarist Paul Chapman and keyboardist Neil Carter, with the lineup completed by the usual members Phil Moog (vocals), Andy Parker (drums), and Pete Way (bass). While this new release didn't quite surpass the brilliant and classic works of "Phenomenon", "Force It", and "Lights Out", they still managed to create a very respectable and commendable album, showcasing Chapman's consummate talent on the guitar and a series of songs that relied more heavily than usual on Phil Moog's sensational vocals. Solid and compelling songs like "Making Movies", direct and forceful rock like "Chains Chains" and "Long Home", approaches to light and commercial rock with "It's Killing Me", or the melodic song that gives the album its title, are more than enough guarantees to consider this work as one of their best works.
