Advantages: A Great album for the collection Disadvantages: It would mean more to me, personally, if it was on vinyl
...Although only now, being 17 years of age, this album is sure to be the album of my life. Mr. Rocksteady is the epitome of a mood setter for a night out, and without a doubt this man has got soul. This album is compiled of hit after hit of rocksteady renditions of songs such as "Puppet on a String" and "I dont want to see you cry". Such sing a long tunes make you want to put this album on repeat from morning until night, and until someone else puts as much into an album as KenBoothe has with Mr. Rocksteady, then this will continue to play from my stereo. If soul and movement and rocking steady is what you're looking for, then this is sure to be a great album to your collection....

...Uriah Heep sixth studio album gave the band #18 placing in the chart . As for me , it is a good all around product. May be it is not so magic , as its preceding, but it is very good . For example Melody Maker saying “Uriah are now ensconced at the top of their heap and six good tracks (out of eight) will keep them there for another millennium”…beautiful words! Such songs as famous hit “Stealin’” ,pomp-rock “One day” ,Beautiful ballad “Sweet freedom” (very soulful song). Incredible “If I had the time “ with new sounds from Ken Hensley, beautiful acoustic ballad “Circus”(writing without Ken Hensley!!!) ,and the best song , unbelievable, real Heep classic, powerful “Pilgrim”. The best Heavy metal song I ever heard .Very heavy ,but harmony ....

...Robs first solo release was a cover of a George Micheal song , Freedom and i think this song shows everyone how wrong they were about Rob and how good Rob is gonna get in the years to come. This was a great start to Robbie's solo career and a great way to show the world how much he rocks.
i think this song is sorta stating two things about Robbie and the reasons i think he brought it out are : Well when Robbie was in Take That ( we can just call them the evil ones) Gary was the one who was supposed to be the one who was the best and the only one in the group who would make it with a solo career, robbie was never really given a chance ! ( Real Shame) Gary was called the next George Micheal by all of the press so i think Robbie was thinking hey, you think he is gonna be the next George Micheal just you wait , so he decided to bring out...
