Look at Yourself is a a terrific album and it worked pretty well live too. I like so many Uriah Heep albums (Demons, Magician, Freedom, Wonderworld), but none after Lawton left them. When Hensley departed for Blackfoot, I completely lost interest - despite the musicians involved.
I once took a lot of flack on another forum for saying After Forever is my favourite track on Master of Reality. I suppose the style and philosophy was lost on them. In hindsight, Master of Reality inspired the sludge sub-genre, but it was the unusual drumming that stood out for me at the time.
