[Heeplist] A Day That Will Live In Infamy

[Dale Fredericks]

Hey Todd, that's what I did yesterday. I was by myself, put on Outsider and was able to listen to it with no interruptions and with an open mind. Like I mentioned earlier, I listened for what it is and not what I wanted or thought it would be. I think I get so hyped for new Heep music that I sometimes over think the music I am listening to. Just because a Heep album doesn't hit a home run the first time I listen to it, doesn't mean it's not good. Back in the early and mid-70's it was easy for Heep to amaze me with each release, but as I get older I sometimes raise the bar too high and they haven't always reached my expectations. So from now on I will take each new release for what it's worth (that goes for ALL music) and enjoy it on it's own merits.
