[Heeplist] Uriah Heep Outsider

[BARNES IAN]

I've listened to it now and it's a great album and rocks throughout. All
the Heep trademarks are there with some new interesting and exciting ideas
mixed in. Russell plays hard and gives that modern edge with Davey pounding
out the rhythm with exact timing. Phils Hammond is loud and clear
throughout and Mick is kept very busy. Bernie matures with each album and
its hard to fault him at all. It's an instant classic in my opinion and
just what Heep and their management would have hoped for. It's modern with
hints of the past thrown in every now and then. It's all very same paced
but thats not a criticism, far from it as I listened to this on my ipod
whilst out walking tonight it was no surprise that I was back earlier than
normal ;-) Yes similar pace but each song has something different. My early
favourites are The Law,the title track and can't take that away.

This has a real chance of making a real impact to a wider audience. Heep
deserve some commercial success and this is their strongest shout to gain
that success that they surely merit.
