Free Music Notes for Demons and Wizards
Free Music Review: One of signs of the Death of Rock & Roll
Hit: 2 Stars
The absolute worse record of the seventies, but, in spite of that every metal head throws this up as a classic...Save your money....Give up on this one.....Belongs in the heap of "What the hell was I smoking ?" when i liked this. Really,really lousy stuff.......See for yourself....just dont, buy this junk..............Free Music Review: very good
Hit: 5 Stars
While Uriah Heep seemed to always have a few songs that rubbed me the wrong way on most of their 70's albums, they did occasionally create a pretty consistently enjoyable album too. Salisbury is one, and I believe this is the other one (and maybe Return to Fantasy, though I'm not sure yet).
I don't think this band is quite the same as Deep Purple because Uriah Heep likes to instead rely on vocal melodies to carry the music, whereas Deep Purple was more of a guitar/bass/drums kind of band (even better as a live act).
Anyway, Demons and Wizards is a nice choice if you prefer solid vocal work from your early 70's hard rock.
Free Music Review: Very good Uriah Heep album
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the first band that I ever loved, I was eight years old when my brother won "Uriah Heep Live" in a contest on radio. I was listening to this album every day. The first album I bought was "The magician's Birthday" and a friend of mine, also eight years old, bought "Demons and Wizards". We both still enjoy listening those two albums, they are among the best from the band. In my opinion, these two albums have the most beautiful cover art ever made ! "The Wizard", "Circle of Hands" and "Paradise" are pretty good songs. Did somebody, like me, ever saw that "Circle of Hands" is based on the same chords than "In the court of the Crimson King" from King Crimson? Even if I know these two songs since a very long time, I didn't notice this very recently...Free Music Review: It made me a fan forever
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the first UH album I've heard and it made me a true fan forever. They played progressive rock before "progressive rock" term was defined when a string of british and german bands hoped on the vagon. But it was more then just a label that you could afix to their music. If you like a good rock music and looking for something new from the 70's that you are not familiar yet, this album is a great start to explore Uriah Heep. I'm sure you will want to go and listen all previous work and a few follow ups. Even though I do follow their path even now, their best work was done in the 70's. Just enjoy it while you can get it on CD, or, even better, listen their LP's like me. Free Music Review: Splendid Album.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm listening to the album for the first time in many, many years, and those who talk about it holding up surprisingly well are dead-on. I'm a little nervous about what Paradise/The Spell is going to sound like, because my experience with that is from the vinyl version, and CD's often mutilate the soft texture that vinyl gives to some stuff. The album does not in itself have the same overall power as Led Zeppelin IV, but then again, Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, and Rock and Roll have been played so much that they are mostly dead as impetus for creation. Paradise/The Spell has a beautiful structure to it that probably is superior in many ways to Stairway to Heaven, as noted by other reviewers.
