Album profile

"As Safe As Yesterday Is" is a blend of heavy blues, crushing rock, pastoral folk, and post-mod pop. Marriott contributed six songs to the album, one co-written with Frampton, who also contributed two solo efforts. The record opens with a cover version of Steppenwolf's "Desperation" and the track "Growing Closer" was written by ex-Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan who actually rehearsed with Humble Pie early on, before deciding instead to form The Faces with Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Kenney Jones and Ronnie Lane.

Mike Saunders is credited for first coining the term heavy metal as a sub-genre, in a review of "As Safe As Yesterday Is" for "Rolling Stone Magazine". In 2006, the VH1 Classic documentary , the original text is shown in a close-up from the November 12 1970 issue, in which he wrote: "Here Humble Pie were a noisy, unmelodic, heavy metal-leaden shit-rock band, with the loud and noisy parts beyond doubt."
