Produced back in 1978, Obsession was recorded after their panicle studio album "Lights Out" and whilst not a big hit like its predecessor, Obsession remains a classic album from the UFO discography. After the success of "Lights Out" UFO once again packed their brand new album with another heavy dose of good old hard rock, keyboards and catchy tunes which influenced the likes of Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Metallica to name but a few. This was to be the last studio album of lead guitarist Michael Schenker until he returned in 1993.

1. "Only You Can Rock Me" (Mogg, Schenker, Way) - 4:08 - #50 UK
2. "Pack It Up (And Go)" (Mogg, Schenker, Way) - 3:14
3. "Arbory Hill" (Schenker) - 1:11
4. "Ain't No Baby" (Mogg, Way) - 3:58
5. "Lookin' Out For No. 1" (Mogg, Way) - 4:34
6. "Hot 'N' Ready" (Mogg, Schenker) - 3:16
7. "Cherry" (Mogg, Way) - 3:34
8. "You Don't Fool Me" (Mogg, Parker, Way) - 3:23
9. "Lookin' Out For No. 1 (Reprise)" (Way) - 1:14
10. "One More For The Rodeo" (Mogg, Way) - 3:45
11. "Born To Lose" (Mogg, Schenker, Way) - 3:31

This album delivers what I consider to be the most fundamental attribute to early hard rock; catchy 'sing-a-long' tunes. "Looking out for No. 1" and "Ain't no baby" will have you singing along time and time again, whilst the guitar driven instrumental "Arbory Hill" will relax the soul until once again heading back to classic rock such as "Hot 'n' Ready" and "Cherry".

Although not the big hit UFO would have liked, Obsession has, over time, matured to become one of the classic albums of the hard rock driven 70s (and 80s!). It isn't too heavy, isn't too 'cute' and doesn't leave you wanting more. A must buy album for the collection!
