An easy review to write knowing that better stuff is coming

While "Ain't Misbehavin'" isn't on par with any of UFO's more shining works like "Light's Out", "Obsession", or even "Mechanix", it's nowhere near as bad as "Misdemeanor", (which was so bad that it should have been called "Felony".) This is the kind of '80's metal that might grow on you if given time, but I doubt you'd pack it for a road trip. At least the band isn't doing the Eric Carmen thing with their hair anymore.

Another UFO classic

In '88 UFO had a lot to prove. Their last album, as great as it
was, was their least successful in many years, and the rock
landscape was far less hospitable to the band than ever before.
So Mogg, Simpson, Gray and Atomic Tommy shrugged and got down
to business with this mini-album. This cd is a scorcher. UFO
hadn't rocked this hard in years, and the performances are
every bit as amazing as anything the band would ever do.
Sadly, "Ain't Misbehavin" was even less popular than
"Misdemeanor", selling to the hardcore fans and not even being
noticed by anyone else. It proved to be the final release
from this lineup, as when the next UFO slab finally
appeared four years later Mogg had again reorganised the band.
UFO never put out substandard work, and "Ain't Misbehavin" can
proudly stand alongside the rest of their amazing catalog.

Their Hair Band Phase

These seven tracks find perennial frontman Phil Mogg wandering in the wilderness of late 80's hair metal with the same group (minus Paul Raymond) who cranked out the Whitesnake-ish "Misdeameanor" album a few years after the Mogg-Way-Chapman-Parker-Raymond lineup gave up the ghost and Phil had to start again from scratch. If you hold your nose and close your eyes, you'll get past the obilgatory sexpot strut and frenzied shredding to find that this stuff ain't half bad if only because Mogg always surrounds himself with guys who know how to produce solid hooks and a satisfying crunch. Far from the best UFO, but hardly the worst. If you got some disposable dough you don't know what to do with, there are more reprehensible ways to squander it.
