211) Uriah Heep-Wonderworld 1974

Av Mikael Persson - 11 december 2013 17:48

 


Uriah Heep's 7th album was recorded in Munich, Germany. The members of the band had began fighting over different things; David Byron was drunk most of the time and Ken Hensley was jealous over the attention David was getting and Gary Thain's drug addiction was taking it's toll, and got worse when he was electrocuted on stage in Dallas during a show and later when he left hospital he in Sounds Magazine accused manager Gerry Bron of turning Uriah Heep into a mere "financial thing". Thain was fired and died of a heroin overdose in december the same year 1975. He was replaced by John Wetton from Family and King Crimson. The album is okey, not bad at all, but something is clearly missing compared to past albums and they had moved into a more commercial direction even though it's clearly Uriah Heep that's playing!

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...
