3rd studio album by London-based band Uriah Heep. The album didn't attract much attention at the time of release and later albums fared considerably better, however, Look at Yourself is considered one of the band's best efforts and one of the genre's most prolific albums. I find it of little interest. It's one of many albums from that time when everyone (especially) from Britain made progressive music of some sort. There's hard rock like heard (better) in Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, and there're elements of psychedelic rock as one will find in Pink Floyd and early Black Sabbath. The title track and "Tears in My Eyes" both have a fine "sonic" feel of energy to it, blending electric and acoustic guitars, but apart from that there's simply too much jam session and unstructured Hammond organ fusion rock about it to my liking.
