4 stars In Hearing Of is another classic offering from heavy prog pioneers Atomic Rooster and features some of the best in the band's repertoire.

It begins with the pounding riff-heavy 'Breakthrough' and it is one of the highlights of the album.

'Break the Ice' is also a great rocker and features well-executed heavy guitar riffs.

One of the best instrumentals is featured in the form of 'A Spoonful of Bromide' and it features shimmering Hammond that stabs along with menace complimented by a killer guitar riff.

'Black Snake' is quintessential Rooster, a live staple for the band and one of their most well known. The ominous vocals build and the music is as dark as the band gets.

'Head in the Sky' is definitely worthy of mention too with a memorable riff and doomy lyrics.

The bonus tracks are excellent too featuring the U.S. Version of 'Devil's Answer' always a fan favourite, and some BBC Concert versions of 'Breakthrough' and 'Spoonful of Bromide'. Overall, this album is one of the best from AR and indeed a great example of early 70s prog.
