5.0 out of 5 stars Classic??? Yes, November 26, 2001

By	Joseph Bauschek (Greenfield, WI United States) - See all my reviews

Lots of cover songs. Lack of Originality. More hard rock them classic Rock? So what! this album rocks. The mix of the group members Daisley-Kerslake back end. Box's guitar with Sinclair on Heavy Keys. And Peter Goalby's vocals fit perfectly into the mix. What Box did on this release was pull the band out of the 70's/doldrums. MTV Played a cover song from this LP in medium rotation good for HEEP at the time. No Byron, or Wetton? Thats not great but Hell Sinclair and Goalby easily made up for that with their own talent. Out of the 200+ hard rock/metal albums I bought in the early 80's Abominog rocked the hardest with the best mix of Hard rock/Keys/vocals. I wore the disk out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not classic Heep, but a strong hard rock album, October 16, 1999

By	Todd M. Pence (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews

Abominog was the first album recorded by the "new" version of Uriah Heep after guitarist Mick Box singlehandedly rebuilt the band following the 1980 collapse. This effort does not quite sound like the Heep albums of the eighties, being full of glam and bombast, but is a solid effort nonetheless if you like well-done and polished hard rock. Indeed, most of the material is strong and the songs rock really well. However, the absence of the departed Ken Hensley and the reliance on cover versions for four of the album's ten tracks turn some hardcore fans off, as does the cheesy album cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Heep Album, January 11, 2008

By	J. Mullins "cadster007" (Carson City, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a product of '80's metal & rock so I never really could get into Uriah Heep's earlier stuff. "The Way That It Is" is the song that made me bye it and I wasn't disappointed with the rest of the album. I lost it for years and when I got it back, it was even better than I remembered. If you like 80's rock, check out this album.
