This is the last studio album from the Welsh flyers. Possibly the weakest release from their catalogue. Their sound is very diluted and borders into AOR territory. Not the album to start your collection, but necessary for all those completists out there.

Still unmistakably Budgie, but with a slightly different sound - perhaps due to the keyboards, perhaps a more modern mix. Not a dud track, but haunting Flowers in the Attic is my firm favourite. I met Shelly after their concert at Marquee while promoting this album and he spoke of future plans. Sadly this remains the last "proper" album and only numerous compilations are a proof that Budgie fans are still out there...

Great disc by Budgie that I am proud to finally add to my CD collection. The band continues to rock in what would prove to be their final studio CD, although I would still like more! As always Budgie fills a disc with excitement and fun. Great tunes in this are "Bored With Russia", "Don't Cry", "Give Me the Truth", and "Allison". Get this....there's even a string ensemble on "Flowers in the Attic", which by the way is my favorite from this disc. It's amazing to listen to everything out by Budgie again on CD finally and still not understand why they never broke over the top. Don't wonder, pick this up, or, cry when it is no longer available and one of your friends plays it for you!

After the album "Nightflight" Budgie made their last studio album "Delievr Us From Evil" - before releasing new material in 2000's. If I would have heard this album without knowing that this is Budgie - I would have guessed that this is Rush. The sounds are quite poppy, and the lyrics are quite simple. There's some highlights in this album but the mood is too happy as a Budgie album. Still, I give a hat for trying to make something different. This is the album where DUNCAN MACKay is in keyboards. I'm a huge Budgie fan, and that's why it's sad for me to say that this is one of the worst albums they've made - but still - there's great songs.
Stars: Hold on to Love, Young Girl, Bored with Russia
