5.0 out of 5 stars Top Of The Heep, July 8, 2004

No doubt Uriah Heep's best effort. Why? Ken Hensley had yet to emasculate Mick Box's full frontal electric guitar assault and take control of the band.
While Box is no Blackmore or Iommi, his tone and in your face playing was as good as any hard rock guitarist of the era. Of all the David Byron era albums, "Look At Yourself" showcases Box's talents both wonderfully & wickedly. Plus this album contains two of Uriah Heep's best songs "July Morning" & the title track "Look At Yourself".
While the overall songwriting is not as consistent as the "Demons And Wizards" album, "Look At Yourself" is Heep's "killer metal" album as is Deep Purple's "Machine Head".
If you can afford to add both to cart, purchase this along with "Demons & Wizards". Then follow with "Live 1973" which could also be titled "Greatest Hits Live".

5.0 out of 5 stars This one grows and rocks on you!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Look at Yourself (Audio CD)

This was the first Uriah Heep album I bought. I knew nothing about Heep and when listening to the album in the shop, I didn't find it very attracting. But I knew that if I want to seriously deepen my interest into the heavy music of the 70's, I have to have something by Uriah Heep in my collection. So I bought it and hoped that it'll grow on me. And, boy, was I right about that! 2 months after buying it, I couldn't get enough of it. It is so hugely butt-kicking powerful music that it's just all over you. It's amazing how this album still gets me stunned every time I listen to it! Every time I find myself thinking that I haven't really realized how good this album is. No compromise, it starts with a storm right away- "Look At Yourself"- and by the time "Shadows Of Grief" is over, you feel small as an atom. And it's actually good how the jazzy "What Should Be Done" gives you time to pull yourself together, before you finally get chrushed by the "Love Machine". It's a musical knock-out and a definite 5-star to me! If you want to get familiar with the best of Uriah Heep and you don't know where to start - buy this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST UNDERRATED ROCK ALBUM EVER, April 4, 2001

By

LOOK AT YOURSELF should be mentioned among all the great classic rock albums.Song for song,this is possibly the best and most powerful album i've ever heard.The title track and TEARS IN MY EYES are 2 of the greatest hard rockin' songs ever.SHADOWS OF GRIEF is so dark,frantic,and heavy it's downright scary.JULY MORNING features awesome vocals from the late-great David Byron(who was also very sadly underrated!).WHAT SHOULD BE DONE is a great heep ballad.LOOK AT YOURSELF also features a terrific cover.Any fan of classic hard rock NEEDS this album!!
