[Heeplist] new album

[Terje Pedersen]

I totally agree with you on the drums, its too much. There is some really
good songs on the album and with some
Less energetic drumming they would be classics.
I see this with several of the classic bands these days though, it almost
looks like they try too hard to progress.

Keeping in mind that I have been a Heep fan since the beginning and
especially since Bernie became their singer, I was a little surprised by
parts of the new album.  It is a great piece of work and, I'm sure,
represents what the band wants to say.  My only criticism is that new
drummer, Russell Gilbrook, takes his double bass drumming style a little too
far for Uriah Heep.  This is not a criticism of his talent, but on at least
2 songs, (either track 3 & 4, or 4 &5) the constant metal style of double
bass really overwhelms the melodies and songs themselves.  This is just my
personal taste and I applaud them for continuing to move forward, but the
barrage of bass drums just doesn't fit, to my ears.
Heep on and I really hope they can do a proper, proffitable and safe tour of
the US sometime soon.
