4.0 out of 5 stars very 'eavy, very 'umble, and very good 14 Nov 2006
By K. EDE
Format:Audio CD
This was the first Uriah Heep album that i bought .It was recommended to me some 14 years ago now, having never heard of them or one of their songs , i bought it and was glad i did.

If you like rock music of the early 70's e.g. purple, sabbath, zeppelin, etc, then you'll like this too.

It is a great debut album, the music is very raw and there is a great variety of tunes.

The late David Byron had an amazing voice and vocal range, Mick Box and Ken Hensley both provide top quality guitar and keyboard playing, that along with the rest of the band makes for some great music.

Uriah Heep were slated by the critics and yet have put up with it to this day , still around and still touring !

I give this album 4 stars because its not my favorite U H album,

but that said it is well worth a buy .

So if you've been sitting there for ages wondering what UH are like ? try it , you'll like it .

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Umble rumble 20 Mar 2007
By D. J. H. Thorn TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Slaughtered by the music press from the beginning, Uriah Heep were always a prime target for the cool brigade. Indeed, they were one of the most obvious bands to go up against the wall when punk rock hit town. That's a shame, as this debut album reveals that they were a proficient outfit with some craft and imagination. 'Gypsy', which opens the album, is the oustanding track by some distance. The striking opening bars make up for a protracted introduction, David Byron draws you straight into the story the song tells, and the main theme drives the whole thing forward. In the six minutes allotted, the band vary the combinations between guitar, organ and rhythm section. Across the album, they also vary their style.

If there is a problem with UH, it is that, whatever they tried, there was always someone else who did it better. Deep Purple rather stole their thunder using the same band format, having the edge on musical talent, finesse and, sometimes, material. That doesn't make UH a pointless exercise, however, as they were no Purple clones and much of their music rocks harder. Some of the material is a tad ordinary: 'Lucy Blues' is competent, but blues was a dead end for a band like this. 'I'll Keep On Trying' isn't all bad, but hasn't aged too well and it's one of those tracks on which th band seem to forget to rock. Even so, this is the first of a series of five fine rock albums by UH in the early 1970s.

Two or three stand-out tracks on this album make "Very 'Eavy..." a must-have, namely Gypsy and Dreammare (both stunning), and - if you can swallow a vague distrust of sentimental-anti-war-ballads - Come Away Melinda.

A lot of the rest is vaguely bluesy filler.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still good after all these years
Not my favourite Heep album by far, but it sounds much better on this version and more enjoyable. If you want Heep's first album for your collection, it is well worth buying.

Uriah Heep was never a cool outfit. Second-stringers in the heavy metal stakes, like a poor person's Deep Purple. Read more
