| Early Schenker style. Tight three-piece unit with Mogg up front performing the vocal duties though somewhat subdued. Melodic and moody. Highlights include the fast-paced "Too Young to Know", the anthemic "Rock Bottom" and very bluesy "Built For Comfort". Production is a bit lacking leaving the overall tone a bit thin, but defintely an acceptable debut effort from this Euro-rock outfit.

| Very underrated stuff here. First UFO album to feature Schenker. So the production wasn't that great-it's still a classic. Better than average.

| Good work from the band here on Schenker's first UFO material. Better than average material, especially for that point in time.

| Good effort from the group with their first work with Michael Schenker. "Rock Bottom" is the highlight.

| Nice one! Good tunes on the 'seminal' UFO record to feature Schenker. Check out "Rock Bottom," it ROCKS!

| The first of their great albums and still one of my favorites. The songs aren't as commercial as LIGHTS OUT or OBSESSION. Some of Phil Mogg's best lyrics. Check out ROCK BOTTOM and QUEEN OF THE DEEP. Great stuff!

| This is by far the best UFO album, with melodic/spacy Hard Rock, very good, check out Queen Of The Deep, Willie Dixon's Built For Comfort, Crystal Light and Rock Bottom, but the whole album is excellent

| Doctor,Doctor and Rock Bottom are two of the best studio songs done be anybody.The guitar solo on Rock Bottom is my fav. by Schenker.{and that says a lot}.The rest of the album is below the standards that they set on later albums.But check out Rock Bottom!

| One of the all time great albums, it put UFO up as one of the great rock acts. Some classics here, particularly the magnificent Rock Bottom - which I never tire of hearing.

| Solo in Rock Bottom blows me away still. 17 year old Schenker had years of maturity at his disposal. Truly a master at 17. Production is lacking only because Chrysalis was young at the time & wouldn't put money into anything unless it's name was Jethro Tull. Leo Lyons was no slouch. He was a big part of Ten Years After's sound so the pairing with UFO was good. Listen to this one, then to Force It & conclude that they aren't that far apart production-wise. A solid piece of rock for the ages.

| Don't forget the sound of the time when considering this one. A most excellent start of a long journey that hasn't yet ended. Of course the obvious are the best, but delving into the b sides proves worthwhile.

| Doctor Doctor may just be the greatest song to come out of 1974... 1984, 1994, 2004! Awesome recording.

| Giving the two most enduring tracks their due: "Doctor, Doctor" & "Rock Bottom" gave the band a solid start & certainly by now, timeless classics. However, the rest of the album is hardly in the same class.

| I dug this out the other day (prompted by Tesla's version of Rock Bottom). It's a step down from what would come later but there are signs of what will come most notably the aforementioned RB and Doctor Doctor. It kind of shows the bands transgessional period where they were stradling the bluesy space rock of old and the harder rock they were to pursue to great acclaim. Their next album Force It was a complete rocker through and through (and is still one of my faves). Great band, good album.

| One of my favourite bands featuring my absolute favourite guitarist. This is a great album,though one or two tracks sound quite dated. Some great guitar playing by Schenker, especially on Rock Bottom, Crystal Light and Space Child.Lipstick Traces is one of Schenker`s personal favourites, a great instrumental. What a song to end the album with as well - Queen Of The Deep, classic stuff.

| good effort by UFO somewhere between their previous ones and their new hard rockin direction.mid tempo songs,long guitar solos by michael and a 70 s sound in general.it includes the mega hit "rock bottom" and the passionate "oh my" which are the best songs.its almost frightening how many years these guys rockin the planet

| This is a very good classic rock album and one that defines the genre for me. THis is packed with excellent song writing and playing. Doctor Doctor and Rock Bottom are my favourites.

| While not the debut UFO studio release; Phenomenon does qualify and the bands' proper introduction into the world of music, as the addition of Micheal Schenker was instrumental in forming the collective musical identity of the group. Still kind of a mix between the documented space metal and the thinking mans' metal that was to be expanded upon in the future, this album ultimately sets the initial tone for what becomes an awesome tenure as a rock/metal outfit. Tracks like "Doctor, Doctor" and "Rock Bottom" would springboard this band into a new, more assertive direction and are concert obligations. There is plenty of quality besides the big hits of the album and no two songs sound alike, giving the album many different musical shades. Schenker's guitar playing is timeless, technically sound, creative, and will make the hair on your neck stand up when he chooses to unleash. The remastered edition is recommended as it includes a couple of additional valued studio tracks. 84/100

Decent album that contains 2 major tracks of the band in the shape of "Doctor Doctor" & "Rock Bottom"...some other interesting cuts are 6 & 7...70/100
