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!”


A fantastic album with superb guitar work from Robin and wonderful vocals(as usual) from James Dewar. I just love listening to anything he sings. A varied album. I enjoyed every track and it is certainly one of the best albums Robin did. (obviously that is my opinion). I went to see him the other day and he still plays as well as he did in the 70’s. It has always been a mystery to me as to why he has never been acknowledged amongst others such as Clapton. He plays with a feeling some never achieve. If you’re a fan and don’t own this, buy it.


Robin Trower’s guitar sings in synch with James Dewar’s beautiful bluesy vocals. If you play this album you understand the futility of war.

5.0 out of 5 stars 

I remember well the first time I placed the needle on my fresh new “Victims of the Fury” LP. WOW! That opening guitar riff (“Jack and Jill”) lit me up! A female friend was there and she became an instant Robin Trower fan – well, a James Dewar fan, really – and that’s alright mama because Jimmy Dewar’s voice melts the heart of men, too, don’tcha know, like Roy Orbison does (You know I’m tellin’ the truth).


5.0 out of 5 stars Great

Trower is awesome. I had Bridge of Sighs, which has always been in my top 15 of everything. This rivals it. Well worth the expense. I consider it an investment anyway, not an expense.


5.0 out of 5 stars His Finest Album!
My favorite of all Trower’s albums, this one really rocks – sheer power, and all from just a three-piece band! Dewar, Lordan and Trower are each at their peak on this one.
