Uriah Heep - Fallen Angel (1978)

 

The 12th album from this band from Great Britain.

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

The band returned again one year after they had released two albums.  

This album clocks in at forty minutes. 

The band were in a bit of a creative vacuum in this period, according to what their fans have told me. That explains the music here....

The music is a blend of hard rock, rock'n'roll and arena rock. The band was trying really hard to keep at least one foot in the US market with this album. An album really dominated by US rock.

John Lawton's vocals are really good. That is the only positive thing about this album. 

Some of the songs are poppy and catchy. Trying to be catchy but failing, that is. 

The songs are pretty sub-standard and not on par with the music on their first albums. The band is threading the water on this (barely) decent album.
