Product Description: Demons and wizards and bears, oh my! After finding their musical stride with 1971's Look at Yourself, Uriah Heep followed up a year later with this, their first foray into the lyrical realm of dungeons, dragons, and whatnot. David Byron's intermittent falsetto is in full effect by the time the chorus comes thundering in on heavy hits such as "Easy Living" and "Traveler in Time." But the 'ard 'n' 'eavy Brit rockers also had their sensitive side, as evidenced by the more reflective Ken Hensley-penned tracks like "Circle of Hands" and "All My Life." --Billy Grenier


Customer Reviews


5 stars memories
I had this album on vinyl many years ago, with the same picture on the cover. The sound is still excellent.
Ordering and delivery were without fault.


4 stars overlooked classic
I remember getting this on vinyl when I was in college. I got it because the album cover looked cool. I hadn't any idea of what the music was like specifically. The album is long since gone, but I recently got it on CD, and I'm glad I did.

I guess you could call this a "concept" album. Sort of Moody Blues, but more "rock" and less "prog" oriented. Good rocking numbers, and a couple of slow tunes. The highlight is the 12-minute "Paradise/The Spell" which ends the CD on a rock and roll symphonic note.

Be warned, though, that oft times the lyrics are a bit juvenile. "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow." "In the face of Beauty, Evil was lost." Still, it's kind of fun in a nostalgic way.

And of course, this includes what is probably Uriah Heep's biggest commercial hit, "Easy Livin'."

All in all a good CD, somewhat of an overlooked classic. I don't know why Uriah Heep didn't make it bigger. They had a good sound for the era.


5 stars Very Strong!
A very cool album of 70s hard rock, Uriah Heep serves up the goods on this one. The vocals are done very well on this one, and the organ really sets a great mood throughout. There are some really top notch songs, here.


5 stars One of my favorites
Great lyrics, great sounds. This has been a favorite of mine since it came out in the '70s. I keep this in my 5 disc changer in my car at all times.


2 stars One of signs of the Death of Rock & Roll
The absolute worse record of the seventies, but, in spite of that every metal head throws this up as a classic...Save your money....Give up on this one.....Belongs in the heap of "What the hell was I smoking ?" when i liked this. Really,really lousy stuff.......See for yourself....just dont, buy this junk..............
