Free Music Notes for Demons and Wizards
Free Music Review: Then and Now
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album when I was in high school, and I bought the cd when I turned 40! I loved it then, and I love it now. I think it's one of the most overlooked body of music, and it's my job to make sure everyone I know get's an ear full of this great work. Favorite tune, Paradise/The Spell.Free Music Review: Stands the test of time

"Demons and Wizards" truely stands the proverbial test of time. I was turned onto the album back in the seventies when it was first was released. My brother and I shared a room and he forbad me to use his stereo. Of course, the admonition , to my great fortune, was transgressed. I perused through his ever-increasing library of rock only to stop at this exciting group called "Uriah Heep." Intrigued, I carefully placed the record on the old BIC turntable amplified through a now antiquated quadraphonic stereo system. As the needle made contact with vinyl my ears were introduced and taken places that musically I would've thought never possible. The album took me to the playground of the wizards and sages of old. The beautiful acoutical guitar work on the title cut still sends shivers through my spine today thirty years later! The depth of the music transcends the shallowness of today's music. It has the ability to not only place you on the "magic carpet ride," but guide you along safely. I was so smitten with the album that I had it special ordered when I went to college. Nowdays, with our CD supply becoming oversatuarated, it's a pleasure and comfort to know we can go back to the days when music was created and played for the sake and in the name of music. By the way, I never got caught using my brother's stereo. And even if I did, I had plenty of "goods" on him if you know what I mean.Free Music Review: A true 4.5

These guys are the illegitimate son of Deep Purple, and their nearly as good. If you like Deep Purple, I don't see how you can't dig thee guys! The sound is very similar, however, the lyrics are more fantasy based, which is fine by me! Get it and enjoy!Free Music Review: Demonic Yes, But Where Were The Wizards?
Hit: 2 Stars
Well, this group made it, the Rolling Stone critic didn't commit suicide, but as a monument to bad taste Uriah Heep was in a league of its own. At the least, it could brag about having about the lead singer with the most annoying over-the-register scream this side of Steven Tyler and the "guiding force" who could and did prove there was no limit to delusions of rock grandeur. That this was actually considered a coming-of-age album for a band who "finally" found the right rhythm section (just what WAS so right about a meandering bassist and a drummer who couldn't cut a proper groove with a meat cleaver but had about the most ham-and-clubfooted style this side of Carmine Appice) testifies to how easily even the sensible get fooled. About this album, it is said best that the cover art (Roger Dean) was as memorable as the music was (and remains) irredeemably ugly. You want redeemable ugly, take a ride on Grand Funk Railroad.Free Music Review: A must have album !

Demons & Wizards is merely the greatest of many superlative albums by one of the greatest bands in rock history !
