There is more than just a hint of progressiveness about this album and yet it never takes this factor to its tedious extremes. Uriah Heep throws into this album a great mix of educated hard rock, great musicianship and shows their skill to the full extent of their abilities through their willingness to experiment. The vocals on this album are simply spectacular. You won't find yourself reaching for the lyric book as every single word is crisp and clear as day. David Byron has absolutely astonishing range in his voice, whether it's the blood curdling scream near the end of "Shadows of Grief", the ballad harmonies echoed on "July Morning" or simply just the rock 'n' roll ferocity of "Love Machine". He does it all. His band mates help him out on a couple of tracks with some truly beautiful multi-layered harmonisation. Read more ›› |

When I bought this one I listened to it a lot and loved it. It's still great but maybe i'm a bit tired of it. The middle (tracks 3-5) is still very impressive.

As much as I love Demons And Wizards this one is still the best Uriah Heep album and this is why: The title track - awesomely catchy Proto-Metal opener; "I Wanna be Free" and "Tears In My Eyes" - two great Hard Rock bangers; "July Morning" - a brilliant epic journey and a huge hit for the band with an iconic outro; "Shadows Of Grief" - another excellent epic with a haunting bridge; "Love Machine" - signature Heep's speed shuffle action. So, here we have one of the greatest 70s Hard Rock albums, that stands tall together with masterpieces like Led Zeppelin IV, Paranoid and Machine Head.
---- Glory to the Nation!
