Bandolier

Ah, Budgie - the unsung heroes of the 70s hard rock scene. Bandolier, their fifth studio album, is a prime example of the band's ability to mix crunchy riffs with proggy tendencies. From the opening track "Breaking All the House Rules," Budgie wastes no time in showcasing their signature sound. If you're a fan of thunderous drums, intricate guitar work, and wailing vocals, then this album is definitely for you. One standout track is "I Can't See My Feelings," a 7-minute epic that takes you on a journey through swirling psychedelic riffs and powerful vocals. It's the kind of song that makes you want to grow your hair out and headbang like it's 1975. But it's not all just loud guitars and groovy basslines - tracks like "Napoleon Bona Parts 1 & 2" show Budgie's ability to mix in some quirky, off-kilter melodies as well. It's a testament to their versatility as a band. Overall, Bandolier is a classic album that deserves a spot in any rock lover's collection. So put on your flares, grab a drink, and crank up the volume because Budgie is here to rock your socks off.
