Product Information

Worth it if you were bowled over by Demons and Wizards and don't mind that the artwork manages to be closer to the spirit of that album than the music a lot of the time, but The Magician's Birthday marks the waning of Heep's classic period in my view. a b Geesin, Joe (December 2015). "Uriah Heep - The Magician's Birthday". Record Collector. No.448 . Retrieved 18 November 2018. fantastic, haunting lyric and a stunning performance by all band members. David Byron´s vocals on this The title tune is the only one of the eight selections that comes close to being interesting. Unfortunately, it just comes close. The album reminds me of those amateur opera singers who rent Carnegie Recital Hall to give recitals for their tone-deaf friends and for those knowledgeable aficionados who need a good laugh. Uriah Heep, however, takes it all utterly seriously. Give these boys a Dutch rub and six months under house arrest. millions of albums all over the planet.Was no time to rest. Maybe it would have been a good idea to take some time off and enjoy

Continuing in the mythically mystical vein of Demons & Wizards, Uriah Heep firmly plant themselves as a British super-group. The dramatic impact of David Byron's voice can in no way be discounted. The arrangements are flawless, creating a phantasmigoria of sounds and sub-related visual imprints. Choice cuts are "Sunrise," "Tales" and "Echoes in the Park." A very pleasant trip indeed. absolutely brilliant material, and material I can do without. I know I'll still be looking for more Last note: another great cover from master ROGER DEAN, the last one until 1997' ''Sea of Light''.

The problem , is for the first time, there are BAD songs and inconsequential tunes that drown the album a little bit.( more to

The Magician's Birthday is a fundamental album by and for Uriah Heep! And all around the album you feel the thin psychedelic line, that makes everything so great.The Magician's Birthday is one of the greatest epic songs for me and its title is used for the name of Uriah Heep festival. Divine music by a divine band. 5 stars
