Uriah Heep Look At Yourself

Yeah, Byron was taking a lot of flak on stage, he was a very talented singer but not very professional and... very drugged up! For safety, try to listen to Hensley's voice in one of his solo records, he has a tendency to vibrate it, always and anyway. He would never have had the power to overshadow the chaos of keyboards, guitars, and percussion (the Osibisa!) that’s on "Look At Yourself."

A 4 for passion! I say that the lead voice in "Look At Yourself" is Byron... in fact, he and Hensley have similar tones, Byron is more powerful and histrionic, both had a deadly falsetto and their harmonies set a precedent.

Praying Mantis Time Tells No Lies

Here I am, Rosso! I own and know only "Cry For The New World," of which my favorite is "Fight To Be Free" with a great solo by Stratton. What can I say... Praying is a good band, not stratospheric, especially in the singers and the sounds, which are very compressed. You're right to call for a better producer. However, keep in mind that I'm not a "Maideniano"; Harris's band and its genre have never really "warmed me up." A passionate yet balanced review. Best regards.

But you know Antonio, this site is so filled with scribblers who describe music with the most daring similes, the most improbable word pairings, the most twisted distortions of literal meaning, and the greatest hodgepodges of absolute superlatives that these balanced and calm descriptions are quite welcome, these appropriate frames of reference, this desire to stay relaxed and not get too involved. One can't always be so aroused by what one loves. Salud.

Kotzen is a great watch, I’ll definitely get it. As always, you provide useful and intelligent reviews.

Jimmy Smith House Party

Master of Brian Auger and Jon Lord, he invented the organ solo. The Hammond organ owes him a lot (and he owes a lot to the Hammond as well, which he fully exploited, particularly the marvelous "percussion" register). A great one. I wonder if he is still alive.

Great review. Queen had the characteristic of pairing excellent compositions with real fillers, if not outright dips in quality. Many of their albums have two or three irresistible tracks and just as many unbearable ones.

If you leave me now, Baby What A Big Surprise, 25 or 6 to 4, Street Player, and Lowdown are sung by the bassist Peter Cetera, the one with the high, piercing, penetrating voice. Does anybody and Saturday in the Park are sung by the keyboardist Lamm, the one with the warm, controlled voice. Make Me Smile is sung by the poor guitarist Terry Kath, the one with the raspy, soulful voice. I can't recall the others right now. And don't get offended, instead, open your ears.

If that's the case, we're free on Debaser too. But at least when it comes to magazines, I truly believe there's no exploitation of the contributors. There's so little market!
