I like them... they're good and criminally underrated (I LOVE the Genesis album, one of the best debut albums I've heard)

Friday, November 10: Ozzy Osbourne, "Believer"

R.I.P. Randy Rhoads (1956-1982), Lee Kerslake (1947-2020)

Over 40 years after his untimely passing, people still hypothesize about what Randy Rhoads would have accomplished had he not stepped onboard that miniplane.  A lot of that has to do with him dying so young, but there was also the fact that in the space of less than two years (not counting his time and albums with Quiet Riot) Rhoads emerged as a singular talent that was somehow both fully formed yet also still blossoming.  That fascinating dichotomy was especially apparent on Diary of a Madman: his riffs and solos were uniformly astounding, but he still sounded like he was on the cusp of something bigger.  “Believer” was one of those tunes that simultaneously adhered to and toyed with form- Rhoads’ primary riff and the overall pacing was a logical extension of Ozzy Osbourne’s past with Black Sabbath, but there was something distinct about the way he let that riff drag, and the spidery guitar lines in the verses told another story altogether.  There was a lot going on musically in the interplay between Rhoads, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake, so much so that even though Ozzy was placed very high in the mix (intrusively so in spots) and was the obvious focal point, in a lot of ways he was really just a passenger along for the ride.  And hanging over all of this was the vibe (even back then) that Rhoads was outgrowing the confines of the Blizzard of Ozz, which added to the general uneasy feeling “Believer” was intended to provoke.

Tuesday, January 24: Uriah Heep, “Hot Persuasion”

R.I.P. Lee Kerslake (1947-2020)

Abominog was presented as a retooled version of Uriah Heep embracing heavy metal in general, and to a lesser extent the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in particular.  But aside from Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake coming in fresh out of the Blizzard of Ozz and the opening riff of “Too Scared to Run” the album didn’t feel like such a drastic departure from what Mick Box had been doing with Heep up to that point.  Sure, there was an economy to “Hot Persuasion” that was anathema to “The Magician’s Birthday”, but the band’s discography throughout the ‘70s was littered with brisk and relatively commercial rockers featuring melodramatic vocals.  And so it was here, perhaps the biggest distinction being Peter Goalby’s broader singing range.  Maybe the real story was that after several years of half-assed records made by scattershot lineups, here was an iteration of Uriah Heep that was focused and committed to their approach, and without delusions of grandeur or significance. And arguably that more than anything else made “Hot Persuasion” more likable.
