LOOK AT YOURSELF

Uriah Heep's follow-up to Salisbury was an even better release entitled Look At Yourself. This is my highest rated Uriah Heep album due to the fact that the 10 minute mini-epic July Morning is quite an extraordinary track that should definitely be experienced by all fans of heavy prog genre.

Having said that, I still don't consider this album all that spectacular. Judging from everything I've heard so far by Uriah Heep, the band has never released a solid album and so what this album has in comparison to their other works are the high tops that make up for all the lesser material. This is what makes this album even stronger than then more popular Demons And Wizards.

In conclusion Look At Yourself might not be a great progressive rock masterpiece nor even such by the Heavy Prog standard but there is definitely enough great moments here to make is an excellent album. Everyone who wants to get a acquainted with this band should, in my opinion, skip Demons And Wizards and go straight for this release!
