This is not heavy metal, just flashy acid rock with a hard rock sound. This reminds me of the band Quartermass who had a guitar-less hard rock album the same year but a of little higher quality. Check it the Quartermass song "Black Sheep Of The Family"
Listen... I don't care what anybody says this is pretty good music right here... it may be lacking a bit of direction but you can definitely recognize the talent & vision... The cover to the album is ridiculous but that aside Billy showcases his talent on the keyboards!
Yeah, that's DEFINITELY Billy Joel. I have the original LP record on the EPIC label (E-30030), complete with liner notes on the back cover. Quite bizarre to say the very least. His works with The Hassles (1967-69) are more tame by comparison (the later works from The Hassles 2nd album being a bit more psychedelic sounding).
Actually,,one of my favorite lines in rock history is in this song..
"People laughed at me..said I 'd never win..
NOW I turn around and KICK your FACES in..."

All Music Guide said this is the worst ever heavy metal album in the history of the genre.
