Uriah Heep - The last masterpiece of Heroes !! ??

Just 3 years after the grandiose 'Wake The Sleeper' put Uriah Heep before with 'Into The Wild' their new work.
As an old Heep fan you will be there a bit nervous - can the high level of WTS are held?.
The answer is clearly here - the high level of his predecessor was not only held, but (as I notice after more than 15 Hördurchgängen) topped !!.
For full enjoyment, I recommend - absolutely the level pull and then listen.
The rock pensioners who enjoy their work 'listening and you can feel.
Producer Mike Paxman is also time for a crisp, rich and warm sound.
The opener 'Nail on the Head' is a potential hit single at the beginning of the CD (with any In-bands it would certainly work out with the charts' here probably not).
This is followed by 'I can see you' 'a fast rock number with a nice chorus (old Heep fans will notice that this piece strongly' So tired 'from 1974 recalls).
The title song 'Into The Wild' shines with strong rhythms and equally great chorus.
'Money Talk' is grooving with shiny rhythm - work on the basis of which may be guitar & Hammond romp, above all Tront Bernie's roaring voice.
Here go Heep stylistically new ways and do it excellently.
From the style I would have typed on Trevor Bolder as a songwriter, but it's Phil Lanzon - hats off.
So far, the grin on his face was always broader and now comes another hymn - an over-anthem;
'Trail of Diamonds' exceeds all expectations and the grin joins abruptly even the creeps.
A mini rock opera in 4 acts with all Heep- ingredients (dreamlike vocals, great melody, perfectly orchestrated). The piece has to hide behind any of the old classics.
'I'm ready' is another real number Heep with all important ingredients like fat Hammond, gripping Gitarenriffs and class singing.
For 'Believe' is considered like the piece convinced additionally with the Heep typical tempo changes and makes just as fun.
"Lost" is the only time Trevor Bolder composition, which is also sung by himself. As with his "Angels Walk With You" you'll need perhaps several passages to the title effect.
'Kiss of Freedom' is the second hymn to Into The Wild 'the Phil Lanzon wrote alone, and yet unmistakably Uriah Heep with all the necessary ingredients is' once glorious melody 'hands up and sway' and the beautiful trailer with Phil's Hammond Solo enjoy.

Conclusion:

Uriah Heep is here so again a big hit.
Unlike WTS Mick Box takes something back, and confined more to the rhythm work, although its typical solo's not missing.
The contrary, the CD of Phil Lanzon is characterized - not only compositionally, but his Hammond is here concisely than ever. That does the Heep sound good.
Phil Lanzon shines here thus as a songwriter and as a keyboard player and has so far delivered his greatest work for Heep.
Russel Gilbrook has his class no longer particularly prove, guests staying here but with its almost explosive drumming.
Trevor Bolder plays this time a very rich, pumping and as usual filigree Bass and thus contributes significantly to the exquisite sound at Heep.
Bernie Shaw sings since his 6th studio album of Uriah Heep and is already longitudinally beyond all doubt singing. The album documents his class once again impressive.
Uriah Heep have therefore actually presented in an impressive way with 'Into The Wild' a brilliant album.
More is not possible !!!

In this sense

Long live Uriah Heep
