| | Uriah Heep : Uriah Heep - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Right off the bat, when the needle digs into the first track ever by Uriah Heep, you know you're in for a wild ride. |
 | | Suddenly, "Gypsy" stops dead in the middle, then continues its swirling cacophony of organ and guitar fisticuffs while lead singer David Byron belts out verbose bombast about a vagabond queen whose dad needs to be taken down a notch. |
 | | Brooding psychedelic breaks and progressive runs are snapped back into place through sheer sonic thrust, and the recording range has even kept these medieval shenanigans up to snuff, lo, these many years since the somber Uriah Heep first descended from its deadly castle. |
