I got this album a few weeks ago and must admit it's a grower, I cannot believe how heavy it is for it's age, full of feedback and bile it's no wonder these chaps influenced the almighty Pentagram later towards the early seventies. The only downer is that it's only got six tracks which is far too short, however it is well worth shelling out for as it puts a lot of modern metal and rock to shame, fans of Black Sabbath and Pentagram should give this a try!

If you like your music perfectly pitched and over rehearsed then this album is not for you. BUT if you believe in punk, that anyone can have a go, then this is one of the originals. "Vincebus Eruptum" is a real mess, with clearly ad libbed guitar work, but that is why I love it. It is a one of those records that just gets the blood flowing "Parchment Farm" just rocks, listening to this album is like having the band in the room. Crazy loud, a must listen

Remember the moment in Kubrick's 2001 when the ape's thrown bone turns into an orbiting nuke? This album represents a similar moment, but the bone turns into a Heavy Metal flying V.
SEE . . neanderthal garage rockers discover that their amps go ALL THE WAY UP TO ELEVEN!
WITNESS . . the towering monolith of Marshall stacks!
HEAR . . acid rock played by people who sound like they're actually under the influence!
Chaotic approach makes it less immediate than early Sabbath or the Stooges, but those would be the nearest reference points. The production is quite amazing, with guitar and bass sounds like you've never heard before. A significant influence on a new generation of two-fisted garage maulers like Bangtwister...

Over-rated but not bad
This album isn't as bad as some seem to make out, although admittedly the production is awful and the music simple at times. Read more

This album is tedious rubbish
From the Summertime Blues cover I was expecting heavy,sludgy garage rock. This album is in fact a series of long, unimaginative instrumental indulgence. Read more

You have to hand it to these guys. I mean, What Balls!! This is akin to giving monkeys typewriters. No imagination, no talent, no thanks!
