Editorial Reviews

John Cann and Paul Hammond were now Atomic, too, and this album was a hit in both the UK and the U.S. Their UK hit Tomorrow Night joins Nobody Else ; three BBC sessions, and more bonus material!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Progressive Rock at its Finest, November 7, 2005

By 

Joe (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death Walks Behind You (Audio CD)

Don't be fooled. The so-called "tape noise" mentioned below is so insignificant in the scope of the album that it's hardly even noticable at all. You can't hear it unless you feel the urge to press your ear against your speaker and count the seconds until it begins. In fact, this noise is so quiet and so subtle, who's to say what it really is. Whatever you do, don't let one person's opinion (which is highly blown out of proportion) affect your decision about buying one of progressive rock's greatest masterpieces. The album has never sounded better than this remaster, and the bonus tracks are the icing on the cake.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PROG ROCK, December 13, 2005

I agree with Joe completely, especially concerning the alledged 'hiss'. I actually listened to that portion of "Nobody Else" several times even with my eyes closed and heard nothing but the music itself. The sound of the entire disc is fantastic. With the bonus tracks, the length is just over 75 min.

4.0 out of 5 stars An unheralded classic, December 17, 2005

There was so much good much in the sixties and early seventies that it's not surprising some wonderful albums and even groups are now largely forgotten. Atomic Rooster is one such group and "Death Walks Behind You" was their best studio album. It was influential in the rise of heavy metal, was one of the best albums for taking advantage of separate stereo channels (listen for the guitars to cross over each other from one end of the room to the other), and is laden with great songs. Highly recommended
