After the success of Death Walks Behind You, an appearance on Top of the Pops, and a successful tour, it was time for emerging stars Atomic Rooster to record their third studio album, In Hearing Of. The album is a perfect example of a band evolving and in constant transition, such as they show with this little-known gem of the ‘70s British rock.
Much less bombastic than the band’s earlier releases, In Hearing Of is almost funky at times. 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.
