Underrated Gem # 15: Lettin' Go


"Lettin' Go" is from the 1980 album No Place To Run.  It is one of the best songs from the Paul Chapman era, because of its awesome riff, great vocals, a great intro, and great drumming.  It is such a well written song, and it really hooks you in.  The beginning where it slides into the riff is so amazing, because the intensity is super high, and it is perfectly executed.  The vocals are so aggressive, and they give lots of power to the song.  Pete Way's bass playing is great because it really drives the song along, and he plays so hard.  The drumming has such a great beat, and it really makes you bang your head.  This is definitely one of the heaviest songs by UFO, because the riff is so metal.  I think it shows that the band was ready to kick the 80's butt.  Definitely check out this song, even if you aren't familiar with the amazing Paul Chapman era, because it will make you want to listen to more.
