znodog Said: still strong ( Aug. 27th 2010 )

Budgie should get respect they deserve for still being able to come up with new tunes that are still vital. This is great music. They might have dropped the ball in the mid-eighties even though some strong riffs still shined here and there, but they have got their groove back. The album stars off real muscular with "Justice" and "Dead Men Don't Talk", then it continues to entertain with good vocals and great guitar with nice effects. Even the slow paced songs (only 2 or 3 by the way) are well placed and complete the album. All in all this is a great release, I hesitated because of the price but now it's available at normal prices, so get it now..If you like these guys you will love this album it's a pleasure and a welcomed surprise.

Reijo Piippula Said: Don't Mind If We Do! - Love, Hope, Peace, Justice! ( Jan. 18th 2009 )

Budgie was one of the best rock bands in 70's and in the beginning of 80's although no one knew them. Now after 24 years from "Deliver Us From Evil", they released a new album with new songs.

OK, at first I found that Burke Shelley's voice isn't the same. She sounds of course a little bit older than in classic albums like "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend" or "Bandolier". Still, I easily get over it because the two first songs are rockin'. "Justice" and "Dead Men Don't Talk" are about peace and love - like this whole album. The next track "We're All Living in a Cuckooland" and "Love Is Enough", as well as "Captain" are peaceful tracks, we have used to hear in Budgie's older albums too. None of this tracks are as good as for example "You Know I'll Always Love You" or "Everything in My Heart" but it's great that Budgie hasn't changed too much - they have just brought their music into 2000's. There's plenty of heaviness in the rest of the tracks. Actually, I find this album very rockin' although it's quite long, more than 50 minutes. Still, great that Budgie's back!

Stars: Justice, I'm Compressing the Comb on a Cockerel's Head, I Don't Want to Throw You

Robert Knowles Said: Superb Album of Classics ( May. 12th 2008 )

I bought this album over the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised. Whilst there are two quieter short tracks that leave much to be desired, the other eight tracks are truly superb. Of note is the great song-construction, the amazing guitar-work, the thudding drum and bass, and the great mix. An utterly delightful album, packed with virtuosity, originality, and humour. Budgie deserve to be filling stadiums with this kind of material.

Paul Watson Said: 5 Stars for the Heavy trax-3 for the lighter ones ( Jul. 18th 2007 )

It is so good to have Budgie back delivering quality hard Rock to my ears again. This CD, as with most Budgie CDs, mixes Classic Hard Rock with Melodious Ballads. I just wish the CD was made up entirely of the Harder edged tunes as the majority are KILLER. I enjoyed many of Budgies Ballads from the past (Heaven knows our name/Riding my nightmare/Don't go away etc), but those were all in the 70s, and times have very much changed. If they were to continue this process for their NEXT release (Lets not have another 25 year wait Guys), how about a double album with one disc ROCKING and the other to smooch to? I think Burke's vocals have stood the test of time much much better than any of the other old school Warblers (Plant/Gillan/Ozzy etc) and would have to compare his durability to that of Steve Tyler. Just check out the "Live in San Antonio" CD. His voice really does stand out well considering the songs he performed which required extreme effort. Hey! Just imagine Ian Gillan singing "Child in Time" today in the manner it was sung in 1972. I think not!!
The recommended hard rock tracks you need to check out from the CD are:
JUSTICE/DEAD MEN DON'T TALK (Big time Groover)/FALLIN'/(DON'T WANT TO) FIND THAT GIRL (Great rhytmic feel here)/I DON'T WANT TO THROW YOU (Reminded me a bit of "Sweet Emotion")/I'M COMPRESSING THE COMB ON A COCKERELS HEAD (Just check out Burke's vocals on this one-Wow!)
The Ballads, as has been mentionned, give the CD an uneven feel. This really could have been one Hellbender of an Album, but as we know, Budgie don't waive their rules. Keep on Rockin' Lads, and hope to see you again soon.
