Interesting and Bluesy Uriah Heep Album.......2005-11-20

This album is not bad actually.

I had to buy the import origonally as there was no US release at all.

True, no Demon and Wizard here - but was a very Bluesy album that had an honest sound to it that was not commercial sounding in any way.

Some of the songs are as strong as anything they've written: "Imagination," "Fools," "Won't Have To Wait Too Long and It ain't Easy."

Trevor Bolder was the star of this album - his song "It ain't Easy" was a masterpeice and the one I played constantly off of this album.

"Fools" by him was also fantastic and a classic song worth listening to a thousand times.

I didn't know Trevor Bolder could write or sing before - on this album he really suprized me.

This album is a must for all Heep fans - Trevor Bolder's finest moments are recorded on this album.

One of the worst Uriah Heep albums ever........2004-10-19

This album was the black sheep of the Heep family. This album is pretty much ignored by fans and the band alike. None of the songs on this album has been performed live in concert for years. Mick Box even mentioned that the album would make a good frisbee to play with your dog if you didn't like it.

In 1980 Heep was in turmoil. Previous singer John Lawton and long time drummer Lee Kerslake (who would return 2 years later) were ousted. New singer John Sloman was a choice that even the band couldn't agree on. Long time keyboardist/guitarist/chief songwriter would leave the band in the middle of the tour. After the tour the whole band was put on the back burner for a couple of years before remerging as a heavy metal band.

Sloman was not the right singer for the band. He had a voice suited more for the boy bands of the day like the Bay City Rollers. In other words, he's not the most macho singer around. There are songs here done by previous lead singer Lawton (Feelings, Been Hurt) and future lead singer Pete Goalby (Think It Over). All of which are vastly superior to this album.

This album also features the one of the worst songs Heep ever did with "My JoAnna needs tunning (inside out)"

The muscial compositions on the album are not bad, though lightweight. But a bad voice can rescue the album. Cheesy 80 style synthisers also began to mar this album.
