Album Notes & Community Reviews
Featuring the iconic, massively influential proto-speed metal anthem 'Breadfan', Budgie's third album is an incredibly heavy, surprisingly dynamic cornerstone of British hard rock. 'Never Turn Your Back on a Friend' balances fiercely energetic, incredibly dense riffing with wonderfully melodic, deeply introspective progressive rock tangents and highly uplifting, philosophical lyricism.
