Atomic Rooster In Hearing Of LP embossed gatefold jacket with 2x printed inner sleeves. full of self-loathing and pityMuch less bombastic than the band's earlier releases, In Hearing Of is almost funky at times, with "The Devil's Answer" sounding like a meeting between Memphis soul and British rock. The lyrics are doom laden in the spirit of much of this genre of British hard rock at the time, and pseudo classical references crop up from time to time, but Vincent Crane's keyboards are generally tasty, and the melodies are often downright memorable. ~ Jim Newsom
