Customer Reviews
Good try but can't ever dare to compare with their 70s work
As a die hard fan of UH, I am pushing hard to make myself enjoy this album but it's not happenning. It doesn't mean it isn't good. I believe "Wake the Sleeper" is their best album since John Lawton left the band. But if you have ever tasted UH with Ken Hensley and David Byron, then you know what I mean. Give it a listen but don't expect much.
DEFINETLY AWAKE AND ROCKING
Guys this is the best Heep album in years.The production on album is superb and sound quality is excellent and begs to be played loud.The band have never sounded better and this album is a rocker with heavy guitars from Mick Box and equally heavy keyboards from Phil Lanzon.Bernie Shaw is back on vocals and handles the song with ease,This lad can sing hes been blessed with powerful pipes just listen.The songs on album are of generally up tempo heavy rock feel and you can tell the band took there time in making this feast of musical delight.I have a large collection of Uriah Heep albums from the Veary Eavy,Salsbury days to Raging Silence,Sea Of Light works and Wake The Sleeper takes its place as one hell of a great album.The stops have been pulled out here and you can just hear the class of this brilliant offering,the guys might be in there 50s but they can show the youngsters how to do it and do it well.I highly recommend this album for your collection you will love it.Hope review is of help to you.

'did I steal your heart and leave it in the rain'...
ach... Bernie... come on.. can't you hit the high notes anymore?
I was apprehensive about the new Heep album, but was pleasantly surprised that the old Heep magic is still there. Some true greatness from Mr Box, especially at the opening of Wake The Sleeper - just grabs you and reminds you it's time you had a heepfest on your record player.
But Bernie... the vocal range just isn't as it used to be, is it.
That is my only disappointment.
Great songs. Great lyrics (as always). My favourite is Overload.
