Cover Resolution Disappointing
4 out of 5 stars

The cover's resolution is terrible. It's super "pixel"-ated :( I haven't checked other formats yet to see if the music quality is just as bad.
Uriah Heep's Best Version
5 out of 5 stars
ugxehy23 March 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧
This is my go-to version of the often overlooked Uriah Heep record. The sound's a tad louder than the '82 WG release, and the track sequence is shuffled. Mastering and pressing are top-notch, with solid dynamics and impact.
Vinyl Quality and Mastering
4 out of 5 stars
ixmilj23 March 2025United States🇺🇸
The vinyl's quality is superb, and unlike the '82 Western Germany Bronze version, "Think It Over" is mastered at the same volume as the rest of the album. The overall sound and pressing are a bit more subdued compared to the WG or '82 Canadian pressings. (On the '82 WG pressing, "Think It Over" is noticeably quieter and sounds muffled.)
Mixed Genre Reissue Shines
4 out of 5 stars
on.neffuk832610 December 2024United States🇺🇸
In my view, this is a fairly well-sounding reissue. I'm a bit unsure how to classify the album, though. It reminds me of Thin Lizzy at times, but also veers into Foreigner/Chicago territory at others. That's not a bad thing, as it's quite a solid record overall.
Heep's Eighties Revival Triumph
5 out of 5 stars
Yuvceouj_Jidowk26 October 2024United States🇺🇸
With this album, Heep stepped into the eighties. Following the underwhelming Conquest, the band fell apart, and Box had to assemble a completely new lineup, except for Lee Kerslake on drums. The band's new sound is quintessentially eighties pop-metal, but with Goalby handling vocals and Sinclair on keyboards, it surprisingly clicks. Both Kerslake and Box deliver fiery performances, and for the first time, Box is the sole guitarist. Producer Ashley Howe gives the band a modern edge, and despite featuring five cover songs, the album feels cohesive. This might be the band's best work since Salisbury and certainly proved they still had relevance in 1982. It's one of my favorite Heep albums, even outshining the legendary Demons and Wizards and Magician's Birthday. That said, I get that this polished eighties pop-metal might not be everyone's taste.
