5.0 out of 5 stars Beware USA - not an Easy livin' kind of Heep, July 16, 2007

By	Georgiy Korneyev "GK" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is not for the "HIT" oriented American audience who expects from every Heep album the radio friendly easy listening. The album is for the intelligent listener with plenty of tollerance. It is a great album.
Very original, but not that different as spoken of. I would say it is more Uriah Heep sounding album than any later effort of the band untill very recent Sea of Light and Sonic Origami.Even singing. To tell the truth
I never recognised the band on such records as Abominog and Head First, I was told It's Uriah Heep. The singing is closer to Byron than to Lawton, but with some Glenn Hughes/Geddy Lee/Pavloff's dog/Buddgie kind of style.
A liitle bit of Motownish soul effort on the Sloman's part. But still I would deffinetly recognise Heep, listening to it blinded. Songwriting is terrific so is the sound on this remastered record. It realy is a great final record of the 70's Uriah Heep who's many of us still are the fans.
But it is also a music masterpiece which I will recomend to any music lover who is ready to explore,but that's why we're call ourselves experts
right? Explore and enjoy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Heep Of Rubbish, June 18, 2003

By	Mark Novicki (West Haven Ct , USA) - See all my reviews

Having been a Heep fan since the mid 70's , I remember the first time I heard this on vinyl . All I can say is , what was Ken and Mick thinking . John Sloman is awful . The only decent song is "Feelings" . This is only for real Heep fans who need to have it for their collection . For a better Heep CD try "Demons and Wizards" , "Sweet Freedom" or more recently "Sonic Origami" .

2.0 out of 5 stars BAD VOCALIST!!, April 2, 2002

By	R. Recchia "the handsome bug" (Ithaca, ny) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I never even heard of this album until about a year and a half ago. Around the time that CONQUEST came out, URIAH HEEP had practically lost their audience in America; I don't even remember seeing this album in the record stores when it came out!! The remastered version of this does a great job of detailing all the events that surrounded the making of this album with it's liner notes. The album itself is really not that great. It is definitely more hard rock oriented than FALLEN ANGEL and the album definitely sounds good; the production is bass and rhythm guitar heavy.The two main problems are the songs, which are not too memorable and JOHN SLOMAN's singing. He was definitely the worst singer URIAH HEEP ever had, tho' I'm also not a big fan of their current singer, who sounds too much like STEVE PERRY for my liking! SLOMAN's singing style was all wrong for HEEP! The backing vocals,which were the worst thing about FALLEN ANGEL, are one of the album's few saving graces! Most of the songs aren't really that horrible; I mean they rock, they roll, they just are not that memorable (I said that already, didn't I?)

Well, at least the cover is interesting....
