When talking about the bands that laid the foundation for punk and even just heavy rock
Slade is often left out of the conversation. This offering, which includes there first two albums (the first as Gurney Slade) both 1969. Deserve a place in the heavy/melodic rock pantheon. Raspy vocals, stop on a dime drums, tight, compressed but heavy guitars, it prefigures power pop and in ways, even some post punk. These two albums are not only like nothing else Slade ever did, they are like nothing else any band ever did. Put on "knocking nails into my house" LOUD and tell me these guys aren't top notch.
