Ever wondered what vintage American punk acts like Johnny Thunders's Heartbreakers and Joan Jett's Blackhearts would sound like if they'd emerged from Japan? Well, here is the answer. Although this Tokyo trio reigns in its loud sonic assault to allow for actual distinction between instruments on its eighth album, that doesn't soften the primal wallop of songs like "After School Thunder" and "Alcohol Ace." Following the Ramones' two-chord credo, Guitar Wolf stick to the basics: feedback, wailing, and jackhammer rhythms. The ubiquitous black shades and leather jackets only sweeten the deal. Like getting blasted with a bazooka and waking up with a smile. <I>--Aidin Vaziri</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars All Hail Guitar Wolf, The Kings of Rock'N'Roll!!!!.......2004-07-07

This album is almost too good to be true! UFO Romantics is aGuitar Wolf album with production that's just clear enough to let you hear all the instruments, at least on the first half of album.(From the title track onward it's back to the signature lo-fi sound) The songs are all amazingly good, especially After School Thunder,UFO Romantics, Lightning's Melody, Jett Beer, Fireball Red, and Nagasaki Jet.

5 out of 5 stars wahoo!!.......2003-02-19

Ears Bleeding! Thank you Guitar Wolf! Make my ears bleed more!

5 out of 5 stars Rock'n'Roll = Guitar Wolf.......2003-02-18

Guitar Wolf return after the amazing "Jet Generation" with "UFO Romantics" to pummel your brains and make your ears bleed. First thing anyone will notice who are familiar with Guitar Wolf's previous releases is a new found cleaner sound. And by cleaner production for Guitar Wolf = dirtier and rawer than 99% of any other bands X10. While some purists might cringe at the thought of Guitar Wolf and cleaner production, think again. While earlier Guitar Wolf albums such as "Missle Me" or "Planet of the Wolves" pack more a skull rattling rumble, "UFO Romantics" packs more of a sonic bang!
Verses and choruses are now distinguishable, even changes between songs for that matter.
