Metallica doesn't hold a candle to classic heavy metal bands like Budgie. Afterall, they formulated their sound by listening to the 70's metal bands, so they're nothing but a bunch of imitators. I bought this album as an  import in 1975, it absolutely blew me out of my chair.  I think I nearly  went deaf listening to it. Will always keep Budgie records and CDs in my  collection. They simply can't be beat.
