Awesome Heavy Rock 'n' Roll.......2007-02-13

This is possibly my favourite UFO studio album although it's a tough call between two or three. It still stands up well with today's music due to the quality vocals, great guitar playing and a solid rhythm section. It lacks the polish and variety of "Lights Out" but wow does it rock with dazzling 70's style lead guitar! I understand that the band were worried about the sound with Peyronnel on keyboards and he later left to be replaced with Paul Raymond. This line up certainly created a tasty enough studio sound with classics such as "Natural Thing" and "I'm a Loser" and one of my all time faves "On With The Action" (Phil Mogg lyrically at his best). All the tunes are great even with a few trademark clunky lyrics. Also one of the best album covers ever!

Hello, Danny boy!.......2006-07-16

No Heavy Petting was the third UFO album in a row to be produced by Ten Years After bassist Leo Lyons. In terms of overall sound, this is about as good as the two albums before it, 'Phenomenon' and 'Force It'.....the guitars are very well recorded and prominent in the mix, the bass and drums sound crisp and clear. In terms of songs, I don't think this album is as strong it's two predecessors. I think all five songs on the first half (or side one, for those us who still have this on just vinyl) are absolutely terrific. 'Natural Thing' (the only tune on which bassist Pete Way gets a writing credit) is an upbeat and very hard rocking opening cut, with then new keyboardist Danny Peyronel getting in some piano playing during the middle. Very strong, heavy riff from Schenker. The next two cuts, ' I'm A Loser' and 'Can You Roll Her', are both more than satisfying melodic hard rockers....the former starts out acoustic, but gets heavier as it goes along and features some oustanding drumming from Andy Parker, and the former is a showcase for Peyronel and once again, feature some stellar drumming from Parker.

' Belladonna' is to me a very overlooked ballad. UFO did this type of song very well when they had Schenker, whose crying guitar solo in the middle may be the best thing I think he has ever done and is to me one of the highlights of the album. This is immediately followed by the speedy hard rocker 'Reasons Love', another big highlight of the album. Schenker hits another high with his lightning fast solo, almost making his guitar sound like a bagpipe at one point!

The second half, unfortunately, is rather weak and somewhat forgettable, especially when compared to the first half. The tempos are slower, the tunes not so catchy, the vocal lines not as exciting and/or memorable. It's a shame Pete Way didn't contribute more songs.

Still, the first half is great and worth buying the album for. Another must have for us fans of UFO during their Michael Schenker years.

Incomplete and not the place to start........2006-05-08

After the breakout of "Force It", UFO sort of stalled on this follow up. The problem? For me, the album feels incomplete. There are 4 standout tracks - the blistering kick-off of "Natural Thing", "I'm A Loser" "Can You Roll Her" and "Reasons Love". My reasoning for these tracks as standouts? Michael Schenker, of course. He is in top form on these tracks. Special attention has to be given to his playing on "I'm A Loser". Yes, the song starts as down-on-your-luck, acoustic lament. But, midway through the song, Schenker just takes over and lifts the song into dimensions only the best guitar players could manage. He drives the song headlong into the stratosphere, and you the listener are left emotionally spent by songs' end. Side two (tracks 6-9 these days), is where the album loses all momentum after the cruch of "Reasons Love". Things get better on the next two UFO albums, Lights Out" and "Obsession".

MY FAVORITE.......2006-03-16

Great "old school" UFO at their best. Original, Hard, Fast and imaginative all at the same time. I literally wore out the album in my teens. No Heavy Petting is a classic! With a couple mellow tunes like " Belladonna and Martain Landscape" (thrown in to let Schenkers fingers cool) it is indeed a well rounded rock-n-roll CD. If you like first-rate guitar work loaded with gracious amounts of originality, No Heavy Petting has what you'r looking for. WHAT A GEM!

Heavy Petting for Heavy Rockers!.......2005-07-22

I bought this after strangers in the night and it rocked
more than the live album. The production is so raw and
clean that it's a live album without the crowd noise.
Natural Thing starts off with those great opening chords
and it rips from there. The singing, playing and writing
were awesome. Even the slower songs are classics. If you
like the early UFO albums this is a must for any fan.
It's too bad more people didn't hear of UFO in there day.
I'm proud to say I was there from the start and still am!

I love NOFX but..........2006-10-18

This album sucks for the most part. It has its moments but its not worth paying more than $5 for it. If you see it in the used bin at the record store I would say go for it but, don't expect to like it that much. Honestly, with the exception of 4 songs, this album pretty much blows. Fat Mike's vocals are the worst on this record. Don't believe me, listen to "Hotdog in a Hallway" (Worst NOFX song of all time in my opinion). He can scream punk anthems all day long but as soon as he starts softly singing (which he does A LOT on this album) thats when I just have to shut it off.

All ranting aside, there are some good songs on this album. Freedom like a shopping cart, Bleeding Heart Disease, The Black and White and Drop the World are the only songs I actually enjoy listening to. The only other 2 songs I can tolerate are Whats a Matter with Kids Today and Release the Hostages. Everything else on the album is pure, and totally uncut FILLER.

So the bottom line is if you are starting to get into NOFX I recommend starting with White Trash, 2 Heebs and a Bean, then moving on to Punk and Drublic. Then if you really want to, LISTEN to this record first all the way through then decide if its for you. Trust me, no one will critisize you for not having it because everyone knows it sucks.

And for the people who desperatly try to defend this album, give it up. Even NOFX knows this record sucks. I have personally seen this band live 3 times and have only heard 1 song played from this record ONCE. And the song was the 45 second opener Hobophobic so that right there should tell you all you need to know about this record.

this Cd had NOFX on me.......2006-05-11

The music basically is like any other album by this band, skillfully performed but not skillfully written. The music simply has no appeal, the chord progressions don't interest me. They make the Sex Pistols look good if you ask me, though of course thousands of people insist on liking them even though they have NO SKILL

the last great nofx album.......2005-12-09

this is my favorite nofx record. never mind how 'punk' it is - the songwriting is incredible and shows them at their creative peak. unfortunately this album had a negative reception with the fans, and nofx have never been as ambitious or adventurous with their music since. don't get me wrong, i love all their music, but this is the one.

Not like NOFX's other albums.......2005-09-20

Compared with the rest of their discography, this is NOFX's slowest, least hardcore, and possibly "catchiest" release. If you're not big on ska, you're probably alot better off checking out "Punk in Drublic" or their earlier material. Lots of slower, catchy drum groove and guitar driven tracks here with less hardcore three chord then any other album by the band.

Liza is a good track to listen to get a feeling for how this album differs from the "standard" NOFX sound. Lyrically it's standard fare, smart humor and politics shot padded with bathroom humor (hear specifically lesbian and fat girl jokes.)

This album rocks, but if you're more interested in being hardcore then picking up a catchy good record you might think it's "weak sauce." just a warning.

"Freedom Like a Shopping Cart" may be the best song ever recorded.

Fantastic Album.......2005-06-09

NOFX is one of my favorite bands and i have to admit this was one of my least favorite albums at first. As the years went on i liked it more and more. Now I absolutely love this album. This and "So Long..." and prob my two favs at the moment. I love the mix of punk with some good ska mixed in. Everyone says that this record is slow, but other than a few songs, i think that it has that same lightning fast feel as any other NOFX album. This CD is soooo good, I totally recommend it. Fat Mike is the man.

almost as strange.......2006-05-01

The follow-up album to the original Dr Strangely Strange 'Kip of the Serenes' is a little more electric but almost equally eccentric in the best possible way. Songs full of profundities and meaning that then tell you that if you found a meaning you were wrong, songs about people turning into wasps, songs that take you to paces no-one else goes (don't you love the 70s....).
Completely wonderful, been impossible to get hold of, badly needed to replace scatched vinyl.... Oh, and a astonishing four+ minutes guitar break by Gary Moore that fits perfectly...

The word here is polish. This hot, jumping septet exudes the kind of slick interpretation that only comes from playing a lot of gigs and spending most of their waking hours on the road. The Love Dogs have their hands (or paws) firmly on the coattails of the current neo-swing craz Lead singer E. Duato "Ed" Scheer, who also produced this album (their secnd), steers his pack through 14 high-energy numbers. Most of the dynamic solos are courtesy of the ever-so-tight horn section. Myanna, tenor sax, pretty much steals the show with her fiery solo work. Myanna and keyboardist Alizon Lissance, by the way, were members of the popular East Coast band Girls Night Out. The quality of the material is about even, although "Too Old to Die Young" does get the prize for a clever title. This will be nonstop, breathless fun for those who don't tire easily. --Lars Gandil

Something everyone needs to have..........1999-02-09

The Love Dogs are absolutely incredible. Their music is just getting better with time. The more you listen, the more you have to play it. If the Dogs are ever in your part of the country... they are a must see!!! Very fun to see live, lots of energy and interaction with the crowd!

Love Dogs bark up the right tree.......1998-12-14

The Love Dogs, for my money, have put down some of the best swing tracks on disc I've heard.. These guys SWING.. Forget Setzer and the Daddies. This one's a winner.

Bringin' the Bar Home.......1998-12-05

I admit it was a risk to buy this CD. There's no telling how the two dynamite live sets at Boston's famous Johnny Dee's this past Halloween would translate to the home CD player. Have no fear! This studio recording brings the live ambience of a rockin', sultry, steamy, and just plain fun band to those of us "too old to die young" for a Saturday nite groove or a Monday morning work out. Yes, the Love Dogs swing - but with a bit more flavor (and a lot less guitar) than Brian Setzer, and a lot more scat and finger-snapping than the Cherry-Poppin' Daddies. There's plenty of mood, clever lyrics, and enough sax attack to make you smile.

"Acceptable Ska"........what!??!!? Maybe this CD is not on the same level of other Bad Manners CDs.. but come on! Skank your self silly with this one. It rocks!

RETURN OF THE FAT SOUND!!!!.......1999-07-29

I read the above reviews and was so shocked that I had to write a review. Comparing the almighty Bad manners to save ferris? This is one of the best CD's I own. Most of the members of todays band had not even been born when bad manners was at their original peak back in the days of british 2-tone. The Cd Starts off strong with Don't knock the Baldheads, a deep, dark sounding number that gets your feet moving. Another notable favorite is "Down Berry Wood", or which no real audio can do justice to. It is an exemplary Ska Tune. I can listen to this entire cd all the way through and not skipo any tracks. it's one of the best in my collection of Ska CD's. The so called "Fat sound" of bad manners is not for everyone. If you want winpy little US Ska bands singing about how their feet hurt, you can listen to the reviews above. if you want full bodied, badassed Ska the way it was meant to be, then BUY THIS CD!!!! Skank out rudies and skins!

Acceptable.......1999-03-24

Acceptable Ska, but the album is dominated by loud unmelotic voices that distract from the rhythems rather then compliment them. Many tracks start well and then the singing starts. This CD is on par with Sublime. There are just better Ska bands: Ska-alites, Wicked Wicked Pepper, Brave New Girl, Save Farris, etc.

........1998-11-21

with _very_ corny lerics, if you're not expecting much, they're acceptable ska

One of the best of the two-fer's.......2003-12-26

I already had "Lights Out" on cd when I found myself with the chance to pick up the "No Heavy Petting/Lights Out" cd, and it's a true testament to the excellence of "Lights Out" that I didn't hesitate. Someone, somewhere would always be on the lookout for a copy of "Lights Out", and I knew that I could always find a home for it. It's that good. "No Heavy Petting" featured "Natural Thing" as it's biggest draw, but don't get the idea that you're buying it for this classic alone. "I'm A Loser", "Can You Roll Her" and "On With The Action" all rock righteously, while on the critically underrated "Highway Lady", Michael's guitar never ceases to amaze me as he tosses off licks that leave you with your head shaking. Another amazing thing is the fact that this killer album from this pioneering British metal band isn't available domestically. (But we can get all of the garbage we can hold down from Sting and Phil Collins.)

Two absolute classics!.......2002-05-06

No heavy Petting marked the last UFO album before the Ron Nevison produced Lights out and Obsession. Often overlooked by UFO fans, No Heavy Petting is full of classic UFO moments.
Michael and Phil, regardless of their feelings towards one another, are a brilliant songwriting team. There isn't a weak cut on NHP, and a couple of classics. Martian Landscape is a beautiful ballad, with shimmering guitar and keyboards. My fave cut is On With The Action. Brilliant tension-building verses climaxing in one of Schenkers' finest solos.
Moving on, what can one say about Lights Out that hasn't already been said? In addition to Obsession, the absolute zenith of the Schenker-Mogg-Parker-Raymond-Way era UFO. Produced brilliantly by Ron Nevison, every cut is a killer. Not a weak moment.
2 awesome albums on one CD. buy it and enjoy!

Keyboards did not ruin this hard rocking CD!!!.......2001-06-04

Some had already panned "No Heavy Petting" before it's 1976 release due to the presence of Danny Peyronel's keyboard contribution. Unfortunately, these critics couldn't have been more wrong. Even though Peyronel did not enjoy touring, and left after this album, he did contribute his writing ability to three songs which were among the best on the album. As far as Paul Raymond's appearance and the "Lights Out" part of this CD, let history speak for itself, as "Lights Out" thrusted UFO into the spotlight with songs like "Too Hot To Handle," "Lights Out," and "Love To Love." If you like these two albums, you shoudl also enjoy "Force It," which in my opinion, is the best!
