4/5 ·
1967/ 1976
In 2000 my ex girlfriend lent me a MC with "Lucifer's friend" album. She is a great person, and not only because lent me this MC! Immediately I comparing "Lucifer's Friend" with Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. That it is true and except for Uriah Heep that have the debut in the same year all these comparison are good (but also with Uriah Heep at the end).

The opening track "Lucifer's Friend" is 100% Uriah Heep for the use of rhythms, Hammond, guitar and voices (not for other John Lawton was also the voice of Heep). But the rest of the album is not aged in the same manner. Not bad are, for me, "Everybody's Clown", "Toxic Shadows", "in The Time Of Job When Mammon Was A Yippie" and "Lucifer's Friend" but these are the only songs that have resisted well to the passage of years. The style, a continuous mix between Deep Purle and Led Zeppelin, is good for 1970's but today is only a type of Hard Rock/ Heavy metal attitude. And the 5 bonus tracks of Repertoire's CD? Not good for me, due to the style (basicall the 1973 songs are R'n'R/ Rhythm & Blues)

Not a bad album 'Lucifer's Friend', ruined (on CD) from the bonus tracks. The original album is, however, a good album, not only for 1970. More than a document.
