Atomic Rooster - 'Death Walks Behind You' (Castle)

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Originally released in 1971, this was the band's follow-up to their self-titled record with Carl Palmer just before he joined E.L.P. Considered to be Atomic Rooster's best work - period. I've heard several fan's personal accounts of how they purchased this lp the very day it came out, catching Rooster on their only U.S. tour (that I know of) and the fact they like to compare this title with the likes of Flash, Uriah Heep and early Deep Purple. Tracks that are sure to pull you in {like they did me} include the title cut "Death Walks Behind You", the awesome "Tomorrow Night", "Sleeping For Years", the ripping "I Can't Take No More" and "Gershatzer" + the six added bonus songs tagged on - good work, Castle. I only wish that all CD reissues could be as fabulous as this one. Essential."
