Beeing the 3rd album from the british organbased hardrockband Uriah Heep and the 2nd of the year of 1971, they made a breakthrough with this album and it is still concidered by many of the best of the band's career. The drummer on the last album Keith Baker had left the band and was replaced by Ian Clarke from the band Cressida. With him they went on their 1st tour in the USA supporting Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf. The album peaked at nr. 36 on the UK charts.

The songs on this album are complex ones; progressive and blended with a lot of energy and melody, just the way I like heavy music!

1)Look at yourself (8,0) 3 minutes of superb boogie-hardrock and then 2 minutes of good chaos.

2)I wanna be free (8,5) Heavy, melodic and progressive. Very very good by a band that had found it's sound.

3)July morning (8,0) 10-minute ballad-like song with great melody and typical chaotic last 3 minutes but they do it with style.

4)Tears in my eyes (9,0) A great main-riff that developes into different phases. Great song!

5)Shadow of grief (8,5) 8-minute song with calm parts that explodes into powerful bridges and great tempochanges.

6)What should be done (6,0) 60's style ballad.

7)Love machine (8,5) Boogierocker!
