Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1974 album from the Scottish rockers augmented by the inclusion of four choice BBC session recordings from August 1973. Loud N Proud celebrates the fact that the still-inexperienced Dunfermline group pulled off an extraordinary coup with this release. As Nazareth would tell you, being loud and proud isn t just an album title its a mission statement which made them stars then and an enduring institution today. 12 tracks. Salvo. 2010.

5.0 out of 5 stars NAZARETH:THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND OF THE 70'S!, October 9, 2004

By 

Mr.Sinister "Rock-N-Roll Rules and you all kn... (Brampton,ON) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Loud N Proud (Audio CD)

I have no idea why these guys take the back seat to their 70s contemporaries such as Sabbath,Deep Purple and Zeppelin.All legendary bands in their own right,I think Nazareth should be right up there with them.This album along with Razamanaz and Hair Of The Dog have to be some of the most aggressive and raw hard rock/metal from the 70's.This band has so much more tunes than "Love Hurts" and "Hair Of The Dog".The vocalist sounds like a madman which is great!!!!Similar to the stylings of brian johnson of ac/dc.The drumming and the guitars go together so well.

Standouts:
Ballad Of Hollis Brown-One of the darkest hard rock songs I have ever heard.The drum is loud and non-stop.This dark riff just oozes through the song which sends tingles down your spine.Amazing song.A Bob Dylan cover i think.

Flight Tonight-Great progressive metal tune.Probably one of the few fast metal songs of Nazareth one could sing along to.A radio staple.

Child In The Sun-The softer side of Nazareth.Begins with a great vocal melody along with a soft guitar workout.Similar to Slash's style on songs like the beginning of Paradise City and Fall To Pieces.Drums kick in and you hear some excellent guitar work throughout.Soft song by Nazareth but still pretty raw and not sappy at all.

Not Faking It-Great rocker.Love how the speed of the song changes every so often.Sounds punkish at first then turns into a "Paranoid" like rocker with awesome guitars and vocals.


This album along with Hair Of The Dog and Razamanaz are Nazareth's essential recordings for any new fans.Anyone into Sabbath,Zeppelin,or Deep Purple will definitely dig this overlooked band.

(Alot of ppl call many bands underrated,but if you look at the number of ppl who review Nazareth albums on this site,the number of ppl says it all.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Nazareth Album, December 4, 2004

LOUD N' PROUD is another great Nazareth album. The cover version of Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight", as well as the original "Go Down Fighting", are both great, and there are other exceptional songs here as well. Nazareth come across here as a Scottish Montrose or Ted Nugent, and this is one of their great early albums. Any kid related to the ROLLING STONE reviewer who dissed these guys should be loaded down with homework in school as punishment for his/her relative's criticism of the greatest band ever to come out of Scotland.

This album is full throttle rock from beginning to the end. I think this is Nazareth at its most heaviest moments(with Hair Of The Dog and Razamanaz). I cannot put it to words. this album is great.
