"This was the first Budgie LP I ever bought and then I saw them open for Styx (Grand Illusion) and I was hooked. I immediately bought everything else I could find by them. Truely a band more deserving of a better fate. I was taken by the first song, "Melt the Ice Away". The energy of Budgie albums is alive in their stage shows; I'm talking non-stop. The singer couldn't keep his glasses on. He probably should have contacts! Other songs here worth mentioning are "Love For You & Me", "Dish It Up" and "Don't Dilute the Water". This is a good release to start with, since none of the songs made the Best of album, but it was on a different label. Budgie is different, so, if you're looking for mainstream look somewhere else. Not to say this isn't great music, but you have to like something unlike the rest to enjoy Budgie. The only place I would start other than here or Best of would be Never Turn Your back on a Friend. Highly recommended!"
