LOOK AT YOURSELF is the third studio album by English rock band Uriah Heep, released on 29th September 1971 by Bronze Records in the UK and on 8th November 1971 by Mercury Records in the US. The album came to be viewed as a high point in the band's career and is regarded by many fans as one of Uriah Heep's finest albums. LOOK AT YOURSELF was remastered and reissued by Castle Communications in 1996 with three bonus tracks, and again in 2003 in an Expanded De-Luxe Edition. The original cover art on the LP featured a single sleeve with a die-cut opening on the front through which a reflective foil "mirror" was seen, conveying a distorted image of the person viewing it. The idea, by guitarist Mick Box, was for the cover to directly reflect the album title, and this theme is carried through the band photos on the rear of the LP sleeve, which have also been distorted. While their debut Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble was a solid slice of blues-based heavy metal, LOOK AT YOURSELF expanded the band's sound, bridging the straight-ahead approach of their early work with the more challenging and progressive work of their second release, Salisbury. Highlights include such mega heavies as the album opening title track and the Deep Purple-esque "Love Machine", as well as the surprisingly jazz-inflected "What Should Be Done". Due to it's consistency, many a longtime Heep fan considers LOOK AT YOURSELF to be the band's finest hour.

The third time щn LOOK AT YOURSELF, the group perfects its fusion of heavy metal power and prog rock majesty, and the result is one of the best albums in the Heep catalog. The gauntlet is thrown down on the title track, a powerful rocker that layers its relentless hard rock attack with ornate vocal harmonies and quicksilver organ runs before climaxing with a tribal-sounding drum jam. The remainder of LOOK AT YOURSELF presents an effective blend of gutsy guitar rock and organ-fueled prog excursions. In the rock arena, the gems are "Tears n My Eyes", a powerful rocker driven by an almost rockabilly-style riff that stops midway for a surprising vocal harmony break supported by smooth wah-wah guitar, and "Love Machine", a short, punchy slice of hard rock built on an infectious, stomping rhythm. However, the best track on the album is one of the more prog-oriented ones: "July Morning" starts with a pastoral organ riff, then builds into a heavy yet symphonic rock tune that divides its time between gentle acoustic verses and emotional, organ-fueled choruses before climaxing in a monstrous jam dominated by a swirling Moog synthesizer lead. Special note should also be taken of David Byron's vocal performance. His multi-octave, operatic style was no doubt an influence on later metal vocalists. All in all, LOOK AT YOURSELF is both one of Uriah Heep's finest, most cohesive albums and a high point of 1970s heavy metal. It's hard to choose a featured track, but perhaps "What Should Be Done" is the most beautiful and closely watched by "I Wanna Be Free", "July Morning" and "Tears In My Eyes." However, all tracks are good. In addition, bonus tracks is an interesting alternative featuring different versions not previously recorded.
