5.0 classicWhatAreTheTodds | September 25th 15

Wanna hear the best sound ever? Bass chords in powdered milk like what does that mean anything?

4.5 superbAntonius | June 1st 14

It is difficult to classify this under a single genre as it is powerful with sharp riffs at some moments, while at others it grooves and there are also times which is quite prog. Hell of an album. Absolute must!

of the 70s prog bands only buttgie knows how to really RAWK

3.0 goodDemolitionizer | December 27th 14

Budgie's biggest selling record...didn't sell relatively well. This is a great find for people who want to get to the real roots of metal music. This is as previously mentioned Budgie's best selling record. (Mostly in part to the track "Breadfan") and for good reason. The rest of the album is solid. This is a must for collectors.rFavorite tracks include: Breadfan, In The Grip Of The Tyrefitters Hand and Riding My Nightmare
