For all its strengths, Squawk didn't turn Budgie into the well-known outfit it should have been

This is like their next album, only taken out the oven fifteen minutes early. Some decent tunes on it, but a lot of the album is just bland bluesy 70s Hard Rock. A lot of the songs have samey riffs as well, and this band never had the best vocals either - shit just doesn't get you excited anymore these days. Maybe if you grew up with it.

There's still better music out there. Including music made by this band.

A really strong 70s hard rock/heavy metal album. Lots of Led Zeppelin types of riffs and songwriting, and this album is very influential for its time and genre of music.

Not as tight and cohesive as the first one, but still super fun and not dated at all
