BAD VOCALIST!!
Review Score: 








(4/10)
I never even heard of this album until about a year and a half
ago. Around the time that CONQUEST came out, URIAH HEEP had prac-
tically lost their audience in America; I don't even remember seeing this album in the record stores when it came out!! The
remastered version of this does a great job of detailing all the
events that surrounded the making of this album with it's
liner notes. The album itself is really not that great. It is
definitely more hard rock oriented than FALLEN ANGEL and the
album definitely sounds good; the production is bass and rhythm
guitar heavy.The two main problems are the songs, which are not
too memorable and JOHN SLOMAN's singing. He was definitely the
worst singer URIAH HEEP ever had, tho' I'm also not a big fan of
their current singer, who sounds too much like STEVE PERRY for
my liking! SLOMAN's singing style was all wrong for HEEP! The
backing vocals,which were the worst thing about FALLEN ANGEL, are
one of the album's few saving graces! Most of the songs aren't
really that horrible; I mean they rock, they roll, they just
aren't that memorable( i said that already, didn't I?)
the cover is interesting....
