HEAD FIRST

Yet another 1980's release by Uriah Heep that screams average hard rock/heavy metal. Ratt...Bon Jovi...Poison...Judas Priest...Survivor...Scorpions...Spinal Tap...it's all here in blaring lead vocals, lame rock anthem chants, and mediocre overused guitar solos. The cliches are here in force. Man, this makes me long for DEMONS AND WIZARDS or THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY!!! Best song, hard to say, maybe "Weekend Warriors" since it lets me know the end is near. I guess the guillotine on the cover is why the album is called HEAD FIRST? 1 star. Uriah Heep may have never been a true progressive band, but at the top of their form they were great. This is just awful.
