Digipack Budgie's third album, originally issued in 1973, includes "Breadfan" (covered Metallica) and Never Turn Your Back on a Friend, was another slab of the band's signature metal sound. Budgie's popularity flourished in the UK, yet their influence was eventually felt by many notable American bands (Metallica, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc.). The mammoth riffs created by guitarist Tony Bourge are definitely on par with Black Sabbath riffmaster Tony Iommi, while vocalist/bassist Burke Shelley's voice is a cross between Robert Plant and early Geddy Lee. Highly recommended.>
