It was fifty years ago today … you introduced me to my mind
Now a feature of most Top 50 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time, this ‘difficult third album’ was absolutely panned by the critics when it was released. And yet it was not only a chart success at the time, it has been quoted by many second and third-generation metal bands as one of their major influences. A good job most of us take very little notice of critics!
