(5 Customer Reviews)
Phil Mogg & Pete Way's 1999 album Chocolate Box finds them returning to their UFO style of space metal, particularly on tracks like "Muddy's Gold," "Jerusalem," and "King of the City," which showcase Mogg's strong singing and songwriting skills. "Whip That Groove" and "Sparkling Wine" showcase the group's technical prowess with more cohesive results than on 1997's Edge of the World, making this album a more rewarding listen for UFO diehards and fans of metal in general. ~ Heather Phares

This CD Cooks If you are at all a fan of UFO and the vocals of Phil Mogg, you have got to check out this CD. It rocks from the excellent first track through the end. I was so pleasantly suprised with the whole effort. It belongs right up there with the best albums from UFO. Submitted by a reviewer (Newburgh, IN)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
hidden genius what can i say other than beg,borrow,steal..oh yeah-buy! this is simply one of the lads'best -beautiful jazz-rock feel to it +Jeff Jolman is sublime- whole album is a gem-but 'Muddy's Gold' is astounding--superlatives fail me!

Don't be fooled. This is a UFO album! Not that that is a criticism. Despite Michael Schenker's legal efforts to take control of UFO, Pete Way and Phil Mogg continued producing great music and Chocolate Box is just an another example of their power together. Don't let the Mogg/Way moniker fool you. This is a UFO album in every sense and an essential part of the history of one of heavy metal's all time greats! Submitted by Tuttle (Astoria, NY) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
A must for UFO fans... Phil Mogg and Pete Way turn in another solid effort. The guitar playing of Jeff Kollman is somewhat "Schenker-esque", but not quite as busy as George Bellas on "Edge of the World". An overall good purchase.

Purchase Chocolate Box CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Blackfoot Flyin' High CD (1976)
Chocolate Box album
$10.49 Blackfoot's 1975 debut, No Reservations (named in reference to their Native American bloodlines), had been a critical and commercial bust for their indifferent label, Island Records, so after being cut loose from their contract, the resourceful Southern rock group immediately hooked up with the more rock-friendly Epic Records, for the release of their second long-player, Flyin' High, the very next year. The bottom line was that Blackfoot were also still seeking their songwriting groove on their way to establishing the heavier style of Southern rock that would eventually distinguish them from Skynyrd and all of their clones. And yet a handful of these tracks -- "Save Your Time," "Island of Life," the title cut -- pass muster by Blackfoot's future high standards, and in retrospect, there's ...

$7.70 Despite its prevalence throughout the Southeastern states, and particularly in the New Orleans area (hence its becoming described as the "NOLA sound"), sludge/doom metal never really took hold across the rest of America; meaning that a sludge metal band like New York's Negative Reaction remains a local treasure, at best -- an isolated and misunderstood anomaly doomed (forgive the pun) ...
