역사적인 마스터피스. 기승전결 완벽하게 이루어지는 흐름속에서 예술적인 하드록이 아름답게 피어납니다. 연주에 구성에 기교에 뭐하나 빠지는거 없이 음악력 최대치. 멜로디도 리듬도 좋고, 긴장와 이완을 반복하며 보여주는 질주의 야성과 섬세한 감성, 그리고 시종일관 기저에 깔린 지적인 면모. 고등학생때 처음듣고 받은 감격은 세월이 지나도 유효합니다.

My most played album #471. Budgie - Never Turn Your Back On A Friend. 1973. So ahead of their time they wrote a song for Metallica in 73. LOL. Great music from the 70's amazing! "Breadfan"! The 3rd Budgie on my most played list!

와 이런 엄청난 하드락 명반을 이제야 알게 된게 신기하다. 이거... 너무 완벽하다. 클래식 락, 하드락 좋아하는 사람이라면 그냥 고민하지 말고 들어볼것을 권장한다. 박자감, 팀웍, 적절한 기름기, 적당한 헤비함 와......

Hailed as their best album, but to me it's still rather mediocre 70's metal.

예전 전영혁 아저씨의 벗쮜라는 발음이 너무 기억에 남아 아직도 기억이 생생한데... 메탈리카의 커버도 좋고 다른 곡들도 너무 감성적이고 느낌이 좋다

Parents 이 트랙이 없었다면 나는 이 앨범에 7~80점을 매겼을 것 같다. 말 그대로 하드캐리하는 느낌이 들었다. 역사에 길이 남을 불후의 명곡이라 생각한다.
