The 'Wizards and Demons' album was by far UH's best. It's forgotten by a lot of people but it shouldn't be. It experimented with new, harder-edged rock sounds (for the time) and dealt with themes that would become fixtures in the heavy metal genre a few years later.
If you liked Creed's Higher (at least before it got so burned out) then you'd probably like this 1972 single as well. It's similar in a number of ways. It starts out as an acoustic guitar piece and slowly builds into a wall of (very mild) metallic sound. The lyrics are a beautiful expression of humanity and optimism.
