UFO mainman and bassist Pete Way has got his old band back together for a storming new album. Details are sketchy on this CDr but the whole set is strong and production great too.

Opener 'The Alternativa' starts slowly but the pace builds to some real classic rock. 'Dreams' and 'Must B More 2 It Than This' both feature some catchy riffs and tunes. The whole thing just gets you nodding and foot stomping.

This is Pete Way back at his best. In fact it’s better than the 80s Waysted stuff. You could argue the band truly are Back From The Dead and definitely alive and kicking.

This album grows on you nicely during the first listen.

In the most constructive way there’s even touches of Slade and AC/DC.

After Saxon, probably the best new trad rock CD of 2004. Go listen.
