Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reinvigorated by the addition of guitarist John Thomas, 'Power Supply' sees the Welsh power trio Budgie delivering one of their heaviest and most direct efforts. The album eschews their previous progressive tendencies in favor of blistering, high-tempo hard rock and proto-metal riffing. It resonated strongly with the NWOBHM audience, proving the veteran band's enduring relevance.
