[Heeplist] I feel like an Outsider

[Igor Shveitser]

 Overall the album is one of the best musical discoveries I've made this year, regarding classic 70-s bands today - this is the best for sure. Hope I will enjoy it more when my LP arrives, it must give a new dimension to the sound. What I don't like about (in most of the songs, but that's no news) is the drumming approach - double bass drum doesn't fit Uriah Heep at all whatever anybody else thinks on the matter :) Apart from it - close to perfection.
Cheers, Igor

>>Jesse is the best one, actually, if we value what is called "catchy" and also some harmony changes :) As for Bolder-penned songs, I think only some of them were really good and not the one you mentioned - partially because he sang. Actually, it and T-Bird... are the ones I do skip everytime as well as the ITW itself and, sometimes, Kiss Of Freedom. But that is up to tastes really, let's not fight about it :)))

>>>One of the best songs on ITW was Lost, and it is great and very heavy.  Trevor sings it as you know and it sounds nothing like any songs on WTS.  I just think the production on ITW made the cd sound a little more diverse.  However as I listen more to the new one, the songs are starting to get their own identity.  One of the new songs did not get me at first but now I think is great and that is Jesse.  The bass is so dominant in that one I love it.

By the way, I think Into The Wild is a relatively weaker piece of work than its predecessor which featured such original tracks as the same titled and What Kind Of God?. Having that said, I value them quite evenly, they are both decent and more entertaining than most of the 80-s material, for instance. Still I wonder what achievements soundwise or regarding composing you noticed on the ITW.
