... Sabbath and Zeppelin, Budgie knew not to make everything heavy, but interspersed their albums with acoustic numbers and quieter interludes. In fact Sabbath producer Rodger Bain worked on this album giving it its distinctive sound.
Budgie also managed not to totally rip off blues legends either (unlike Zep) and created their own sonic landscapes such as can be heard on the amazing 'The Author' or the epic 'Homicidal Suicidal'.
Burke Shelley's distinctive vocals are a cross between Robert Plant and Focus' Thijs van Leer. Th...more

This week I have been mostly listening to Budgie's 1971 debut album imaginatively titled 'Budgie'. Budgie were and are considered one of the first heavy metal bands and have had a lasting influence on in particular NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Bands like Metallica now cite Budgie as one of their favourite groups, even covering classics like Breadfan on their Garage Inc record. Their sound is heavy man, and probably sounded a LOT heavier back in June 1971 when the album was released. Hot on the heels of albums like 'Led Zeppelin 1' and Sabbath's 'Black Sabbath' the whole album sounds like an amalgamation of ... Read the complete review

Budgie's debut album with the same name as the band is a 1971 album. Like the 2nd album by the band, it features a superbly named track, in this case it is "Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman". The final track on the album is a slow track with a whiney voice which I really don't like - Homicidal Suicide, not a single catcy riff in there at all. The same goes for Everything in My Heart, which is frankly just terrible. The rest of the album though is solo heavy and despite the occasional squawk from the vocalist, it's largely instrumental and therefore has a tendency for tracks to blend in with one another - particularly considering that the riffs ...

Budgie are a significant but overlooked band in the history of heavy metal, having participated in its development alongside bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest throughout the seventies, before becoming justly forgotten in the eighties. Their self-titled debut doesn't have the classic appeal of Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid,' but it does share a noticeably similar sound that will cause it to be of interest to rock historians and headbangers alike. It's really very good, even though it's named after a particularly rubbish bird. The most immediately striking thing about this album is how dingy and heavy it sounds, comparable to Sabbath's definitive 'Master of ... Read the complete review
Products Similar to Budgie - Budgie
Squawk - Budgie - 
Some fun riffs albeit not very original 
None
All Those Wasted Years - Hanoi Rocks - brash, trashy, energetic good time attitude filled rock underproduced by modern standards
The Arockalypse - Lordi - Contains the Eurovision 2006 winning "Hard Rock Hallelujah" Not as strong as "The Monster Show"
Filosofem - Burzum - The first few tracks are superb atmospheric black metal at its finest The remainder of the album is nothingness
Never Turn Your Back On A Friend - Budgie - Budgie's style defined, and it mostly works. Soft songs are still the weakest point, and far too frequent.
In For The Kill - Budgie - Heavier sound returns, a couple of classics. Abundance of mediocrity in-between.
