Description
Check the video review of the album:
Trower’s band is tight and the production values are top notch on every cut, it true Trower at his finest. My favorite cuts on Victims are Jack And Jill and The Shout. Crank up your stereo and strap yourself in for some of Trower’s most unappreciated work available.Music like this never ages, it just seems to get better.

For some reason this album by the ex-Procol Harum guitar miracle didn’t get the same positive reception many other Trower-releases did. I don’t see why. It sounds just as warm, has the same understated fluent guitar playing many of us came to love, the same round sound and James Dewar nothing less than phenomenal voice that fits the music like a glove due to its soulful nature.
True, the songs are shorter, but not one bit less convincing or less inspired than on his best albums. The songs have that typical Trower/Dewar feel, a weird and wonderful mixture of melancholy, understanding, acceptance and solace. And it has something for every kind of Rock fanatic. There a fair share of slow and bluesy rockers that will please fans of Soft Rock, Classic Rock, Funk Rock and Blues Rock alike. But Hard Rockers will be pleased with a couple of songs as well.
Weak songs are non-existing on ‘Victims of the Fury’. Each cut has impressive guitar playing on it and each one has a strong and memorable chorus that being lifted to lonely heights by Rock history most underrated voice. No, this is not a mediocre Trower album, it one of his greatest and one of the best starting points to get to know his music.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic blues/rock
I have been listening to this on vinyl and love it. Catchy tunes, growling guitar, great vocals- and a very good recording as well. A bit Hendrix, a bit Page with a big dose of blues. The sort of thing that Jack White would like too. Its 35 mins of blues/rock heaven!”
