 Topic: 2 Uriah Heep albums

Both have fantasy themes, great Roger Dean covers, a longer proggy song at the end, and were released the same year.
I personally prefer Magician's Birthday.

Out of the two long ones you mention The Spell is much better I think, so it's Demons

Two wonderful records, indeed.
But I think Demons and Wizards is slightly superior both in production and in songwriting.

Sorry, I cannot vote for either, I like them equally and they represent the best of Uriah Heep.

They are both very similar...could have been a great double LP.
No vote.

Demons & Wizards. The other is good but ultimately falls a little flat.

Demons and Wizards. Magician's Birthday seems like a commercial attempt to capitalize on the former.

They're both excellent. I would be unable to choose even if I could vote.
These two and Salisbury are the best of Heep.

I just got a little while ago "The Magician's Birthday" and was very pleasantly surprised. I saw a few months ago "Demons and Wizards" in a store downtown (though it was much more expensive), and I may go one of this days to see if they still have it available.

This is difficult, because I like both, but I'll vote for The Magician's Birthday because it has less votes.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
