This was an outstanding debut CD from the heaviest unknown band of the 70's. A good mixture of their musical contemporaries Rush and Black Sabbath, Budgie really meshed those styles together to become a three piece powerhouse.

This band set the scene for so much that happened in hard rock from the 70's onward however they had a depth and intensity that few bands today match. kind of like listening to early Zep or Sabbath, except throw in some more blues here and there. Yes, they riffed with the best of them, and the guitar work is amazing on this CD. Either way, Budgie should be part of anyone's collection who wants to have all the rock sounds of the 70's - this could be proudly placed next to Jethro Tull's Aqualung or Pink Flyod's Dark Side of the Moon as an example of what rock was at the time and what it was to be.
