3 stars This was great follow up album to High and Mighty. With John Lawton now replacing David Byron on vocals and Trevor Bolder replacing John Wetton on bass, there is a distinctly obvious stabilisation of the group in this line up. John Lawton is a formidable vocalist and a worthy substitute to David Byron. His prescence on the classic ' The Hanging Tree' demonstrates immediately that Uriah Heep were not going to dissipate into the ether of punk rock/new age dominance. I guess they have proved that regardless of line up changes and musical shifts to this present day.

Firefly is another solid track as is Rollin On. Personally after High and Mighty I put Uriah Heep on the back burner and am now revisiting some of their later releases post 1976 and if the album Firefly is anything to go by there will be many more enjoyable moments to come.A solid three and a half stars and not least assisted by the invaluable inclusion of John Lawton.
