"Raging Silence" rages indeed

Review Score: (10/10)
Different World has to be considered one of the most disappointing albums in Uriah Heep history, especially in light of the other three spectacular albums the current line-up has done. Although not awful, the songs are going-through-the-motions rockers with little imagination or innovations and an alarming vacuity of ideas. A Uriah Heep album of any era almost always has one or two great songs on it, songs that grab your attention and make you go "wow!" and go on to become classics. No such songs are really on Different World. In fact, many of the songs are indistinguishable from each other, which just doesn't happen on most other Uriah Heep albums. The production, too, is a big comedown from the previous album Raging Silence (although it is somewhat improved in the remaster). If you're looking for modern Heep and aren't a completist, get one of the other albums by the current line-up instead.
