Nice psychedelic and hard rock mixture, where you can not understand is singer he or she... a bit Blue Cheerish sound to, nice one, and same time I am happy music evolved ... this is more vinyl music not mp3 ... anyway good one, I did not regret

In the early 2000s I was big time into 70s Hard Rock, but never heard anything about this band, until the last couple of years. Well, it's better late than never, right? So, it's a nice and pretty heavy debut with slight Sabbath vibes and yeah, I can definitely hear some late 60s Heavy Psych influences too. The coolest songs for me here are "Guts", "Rape Of The Locks", "Homicidal Suicidal" and "Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman" (Damn, what a glorious names!). Interesting early Proto-Metal band, definitely deserves more attention!

I don't know why it took this long until I finally sat down and listened to this album. And it's awesome, like you have some of that dirty guitar tone of Tony Iommi mixed with more melodic songs and solos from likes of Wishbone Ash. This is very spot on 70's hard rock if you ask me.

One of earliest heavy metal groups which influenced heck of a lot to NWOBHM scene and one of them gone onto become the biggest metal band of all time - Metallica.

This album resonates with 70s heavy metal fans and sounds truly fucking amazing. Sad, later half of the albums didn't gel with me as first 2 albums did.

Good sound, yet disappointing songwriting. I was expecting more from a golden era (69-72) release.

Well! C´mon really? What more did you expect? You need to listen with a lot of context... we're in 1971 here! Sabbath, UFO, Alice Cooper, DPurple, UHeep, DUST.... just released their first albums!!! ... Actually, Budgie is quite underrated we need to be grateful for their influence and especially the sound is fucking awesome ...... These guys are pioneers of everything we like!

I've never heard of "a golden era (69-72)", but Budgie's debut is one of the best albums of early 70s heavy rock.
