This is one of the seminal progressive hard rock albums and should be in the library of all fans of the genre. Arguably, if you own one Uriah Heep album, this should be the one. Probably the coolest Uriah Heep lineup. This is one of the better digital conversions as it doesn't have the cloying, sterile sound of a lot of digital releases. The price of this CD is probably lower than what I paid for the vinyl LP back in the mid-70's. All in all, an excellent value for one of the all-time great prog-metal albums. Highly recommended.
I just have to say something about this jerk ghettopope who gave this cd such an undeserved bad review. This guy obviously knows nothing about music if he thinks this has bad singing on it. David Byron was one of the greatest frontman vocalists in the history of Rock! There is an almost operatic style here and the harmonies are awesome. Mick Box's guitar work although somewhat limited is very creative and precise and not an ounce of sloppiness in his playing. The writing, production and performance on this cd is incredible. People like ghettopope that write these reviews that are so far off the mark make me wonder where their head is at. This cd rates right up there with early Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple or any other 70's Rock Band! If that's not your cup of tea then don't buy it and then write a stupid and inaccurate review.Read full review

Some of the lyrics are a reminder of a turbulent time when the world seemed full of hate and hope lied with our ability to show love for one another. While the mix is admittedly crude by modern standards, there is an undeniable purity missing from most of todays overprocessed downloads. This band brought the intensity of their live show into the studio. You can feel the passion throughout. If you like your classic rock with mustard only, this is for you. If you want the it smothered in techno fixin's, move on. Solid rock and vocals that would make Paula, Randy and Simon pleased. The lyrics Timeless.
Back in the days when real musicians composed and performed a real music. Classic Heep lineup. Boys are in their top form, David Byron's vocal just tears your heart out! Young generation - get familiar with. My generation knows what I'm trying to express.
