I doubt people had blood coming out of their ears, that would be a ruptured eardrum and it’s incredibly painful.

I was also thinking about the reversed karma of this band, Joel had an affair with his bandmate’s wife, then got famous AND married her too. it’s like he could do whatever he wanted.

anyways it’s not a terrible album, I’d say it’s pretty in line with the hammond rock of the time. not very metal though, not black sabbath-wise.

Indeed, why would you even brag about something like this as well?

I fondly remember in my twenties (not that long ago) going round op-shops (thrift stores) and gathering together all the Hammond rock LPs I could find and having impromptu drunk Hammond parties with my housemates. Fun times. Lot of entertainment for like 50c of vinyl.
