5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest hard rock albums ever!
Obsession is almost too good to be true. I’m blown away.
The song selection is as mesmerizing and magical as you’ll find anywhere. This is, without a doubt, one of the finest hard rock albums ever recorded!
No less than FIVE of UFO best songs call Obsession home: “”Only You Can Rock Me,”” “”Lookin’ Out For No. 1,”” “”Hot ‘n’ Ready,”” “”Cherry,”” and “”Born to Lose”” — and not a single track of the other six is a dud. Virtually this entire LP could be called a “”greatest hits”” package!
Released in 1978, and featuring one of the most recognizable and bizarre Hipgnosis covers of all time, Obsession was arguably UFO high-water mark. Guitarist Michael Schenker bailed after Obsession and second guitarist Paul Raymond filled in for No Place to Run (1980), which was the beginning of the end of the classic UFO line-up and sound.
Obsession is a feast for the ears, with lots of blistering, squeaking guitar, classic Phil Mogg vocals, crisp drumming from Andy Parker, solid songwriting and bass playing from Pete Way and some great contributions from Paul Raymond.
Although this is undoubtedly a total band effort, it probably Michael Schenker that shines brightest on Obsession — which is something I hate to admit given his surly personality and widely reported dismal treatment of his band mates.
Schenker playing runs the gamut, from pleasant, almost Medieval acoustic licks (“”Arbory Hill””) to take-no-prisoners riffing on “”Pack It Up,”” “”Ain’t No Baby”” and “”Hot ‘n’ Ready.””
“”Ain’t No Baby,”” another of my favorite tracks, is a rock-solid track that begins slowly and sweetly…then kicks into high gear with a growling, bottom-heavy riff and some truly remarkable and melodic background vocals on the chorus. Brilliant.
Obsession is UFO at their absolute best. No fan of melodic hard rock should be without this album. I can’t believe I was without it for nearly 25 years!”

Cinderella’s singer Tom Keifer: The Record That Changed My Life
“Michael Schenker was a really big inspiration to me on guitar. There was so many blues inflections in his playing, but he was also very technical… and was very melodic at the same time. An amazing player. And I love all the UFO stuff that he played on, but this record, I love the songs, but in particular, I love his guitar playing. The solo on Only You Can Rock Me is one of those ones where it’s like a song within a song. It’s so melodic, but at the same time, it’s nasty – it’s not too pretty. He’s got that nasty blues thing in there, too. He really walked the line between melodic and nasty – always. So, he was a big, big influence on me. This record was one that I wore out”.
