Uriah Heep - Return to Fantasy

 

The eight album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, mellotron, synths and vocals.

Two guests added pedal steel and saxophone on one track.

The band were on a one-album-every-year album cycle. Albums followed up with endless tours. No rest for the band, in other words.

This forty minutes long album follows on from the previous albums. That means a blend of hard rock, psych rock and arena rock.

The vocals is very good and the band does a good job here. The music has the typical 1970s sound. There is one song, the one with the saxophone, who are leaning towards pop music. It is a pretty bad piece of music. The rest of the songs are catchy enough and decent enough. The title-track is pretty good.

This is not among their better albums.
