[Heeplist] Living The Dream Review

[DAVID M SHERROD]

I agree with a lot of what Pete says about how it sounds like those other albums and that's been a common complaint for as long as I remember, but it's always about bands that have a unique style like Heep so it's a good thing in my opinion. As for Phil's album I don't get much out of it other than the wife really likes it and we all know you had to have a few chick albums on hand over the years. DaveS.

Yes, I agree there is sprinkles of Sonic.
We will keep working on you Pete!
